The White Knight 9,039 Posted February 6, 2014 Hello, Could you tell me if being disabled that I'd get a discount on entry? Not sure about ALL Tracks - but - I'm sure some allow Disabled Entry as a Concession. Whatever the Concession Rate is at that Track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most tracks normally price disability entrances as concessions but if a helper is required they are usually free entrants I believe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John44 3 Posted February 6, 2014 I have paid concession rate at all the tracks I have been too but only 1 track offered free entry for a carer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonny the spud 2,281 Posted February 6, 2014 I have paid concession rate at all the tracks I have been too but only 1 track offered free entry for a carer. Shame, free entry for carers should be standard across all leagues 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BluTiger 21,661 Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Hello, Could you tell me if being disabled that I'd get a discount on entry? At Peterborough you would be able to park inside the Showground if you present a blue badge, and only pay concession rate. I suggest you contact the club about carers. As far as i'm aware, Ipswich do not provide any discount for disabled people, which is a very short sighted policy..

For Panthers fans, admission is at concession rate but carers do need their own admission ticket. Blue Badge parking is available inside the stadium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arson fire 4,785 Posted February 6, 2014 For Panthers fans, admission is at concession rate but carers do need their own admission ticket. Blue Badge parking is available inside the stadium. why do you charge carers neil?? Thus doubling the cost for the disabled person who will have to pay the carers entry in most cases.... Without the carer, the disabled person doesn't attend so surely one paying concession rate is better than nothing at all?? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Pedaler 149 Posted February 7, 2014 In the EL, only Kings Lynn, Wolverhampton and Lakeside offer "concessions" admission to registered disabled in the pricing structure on their web sites. NONE of them mention carers, or other helpers. Not looked at PL / NL web sites. As for the rights and wrongs, short sightedness or other emotive language, that's up to the individual to decide. One thing's for sure though, whatever discounts the promoters offer will come out of their own pockets. No Local Authority will be providing grants from their Social Services budgets, to finance the discounts, nor will the promoters be getting anything off any charity to fund their generosity.
