Disabled tickets. Bit of a minefield but i'll try to describe what the club does.
There is no obligation to reduce the price of tickets for disabled supporters as far as I am aware. In fact reducing the cost of a ticket for a disabled person can be seen as positive discrimination as I am reminded frequently by visiting disabled supporters.
It's more about access for disabled supporters. If a supporter with medium or high disability needs a carer we offer a free ticket for the carer with no reduction for the disabled supporter. Away supporters comment on how fair this is and are happy with this policy.
We were criticised last season for having reduced prices for both disabled and carers.
Season tickets are similar this season. Disabled pay full price for their age bracket, carer is free. Sometimes there are times when individual cases are considered for a discount.
Unfortunately I haven't been involved in next year's season ticket arrangements/ pricing but I will ask for the information any of you need at the weekend. Maybe setting up a disabled supporters working group is an idea.
Anything else you would like to know i'll answer if I can or find out if I can't.
