The White Knight Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hello, Could you tell me if being disabled that I'd get a discount on entry? Most tracks normally price disability entrances as concessions but if a helper is required they are usually free entrants I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John44 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny the spud Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share 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.

BluPanther Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share 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.

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I ask which track that was? I'm sure we (King's Lynn) allow free entry to registered carer's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Even Football clubs allow free entry to carers, its poor if that's not the case in speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pedaler Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share 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.

You have the draw the line somewherekids go free up to a certain age at most places, then get a concession.... How many cases do you know of where the parent only goes to support the child?? Most parents are fans in the first place and I bet 9 times out of 10 the carer has no interest in speedway whatsoever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pedaler Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Why charge adults who take a kid? After all, without the adult the kid would not be there. You have the draw the line somewhere EXACTLY, not only should kids get in for a quid but their accompanying adult should get in FREE too! Of course they should. No doubt everyone else on here who agrees with that line in thinking will mock promoters for trying to make a business out of speedway, for trying to get some money into the bank to pay the bills with, and ye gods, if they should even dare to do so, to actually make a profit!

BluPanther Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Disabled folk who need a registered carer in order to attend any event, should never have to pay for that carer. Its simply the decent thing to do, and Football and Rugby both adopt that policy.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't let a 10 year old go to speedway on their own so they need a carer, should that carer get in for nothing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
