Pensioner Price Hike: West Ham Among Six Clubs Under Fire Over Concession Age

Image for Pensioner Price Hike: West Ham Among Six Clubs Under Fire Over Concession Age

Only six out of the twenty current Premier League clubs have increased their concession age from 65 year of age to 66.

They are West Ham, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Manchester United, Nottingham Forest and Spurs.

The remaining fourteen top-flight clubs have kept their concession age at 65 years of age.

There are concerns that the six clubs in question will attempt to raise the concession age again to 67 in 2026, in line with the scheduled government state pension age rise next year.

Spurs runs a campaign called Save Our Seniors, initially protesting at the rise of the concession age from 65 to 66 at the North London club, but also successfully campaigned about the removal of new senior concessions completely from the 2025/2026 season.

While West Ham’s Fan Advisory Board successfully made the club do a similar u-turn on plans to remove senior concessions from the top bands, the concession age has remained at 66 with no sign of it returning to 65 anytime soon.
