Forgive me if this has been covered somewhere else, but I've turned 60 this year and along with my shiny tube/bus pass I was wondering what age you have to be before you get discounts on tickets at LR. Also - how do they verify your age? Thanks |  | | |  |

Seniors must be over 62 on August 1st 2023 (born on or before 01/08/1961)
Copied from the website .
I cant remember having to verify my age , but I was a long standing season ticket holder so they had my details . I think the price dropped automatically . |  | | |

Sorry to say this but I have a feeling that boat may have sailed.
I’m 63 and think a year after I turned 60 they began moving the qualifying age from 60 to 65 on a year to year basis.
It’s possible any reduction maybe proportional, you may need to ask the club about that. |  | | |

I reckon they will scrap it the year I make it to 65 … 😕 |  | | |

It’s a truly ridiculous state for long-term Rs fans of my age. I turned 60 very excited and they moved the age to 61. I turned 61 a they moved it to 62. And half season tickets apply from August 8th ehen my birthday is December, so I can’t even get one of those! As a loyal fan, the effect is 65 now. As a new fan of 63, you’ll be fine. I’m not entirely sure but I think you can buy single senior citizen tickets from your relevant birthday, so you can partly get around it that way. |  | | |

My mate is three months younger than me and has had this season and last with the discount but I don't qualify until next season | | | |

For a lot of us born in the early 60s it's the same as the bloody pension, they keep moving the goalposts! I was quietly pleased that I could get my senior discount for my first game as a 60 year old, so imagine my chagrin when I discovered they had changed it to 61 that very year!*
Obviously I bought it at the senior discount price anyway... they were never going to check at the turnstiles... 
*I'm sure it always used to be 60, didn't it? |  |
