The Year Of The Fox Posted 23 April 2012 Share Posted 23 April 2012 Get off your high horse stu. I'm assuming you think white people should get a discount? you what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00nie Posted 23 April 2012 Share Posted 23 April 2012 Fair enough if you don't think students should have cheaper tickets, but a 210% increase, come on?! the 18-22 bracket is at least100% increase, is that fair? does peoples wages go up 100% for turning 18 last season was utterly cheap if i recall. could have 2 19 year olds sitting next to each other one a student paying £130 the other normal paying £300.

Tom17LCFC Posted 23 April 2012 Share Posted 23 April 2012 you what? Never mind mate, i'm just pissed off about the increase and the fact half the people here stereotype us students. the 18-22 bracket is at least100% increase, is that fair? does peoples wages go up 100% for turning 18 last season was utterly cheap if i recall. could have 2 19 year olds sitting next to each other one a student paying £130 the other normal paying £300. No it's not fair. The difference being the non-students will most likely have a job and the money to afford it, whereas students are often scraping the barrel for cash.

cc_star Posted 23 April 2012 Share Posted 23 April 2012 Never got why stedents get special prices when buying off business I remember earning £30/wk as a YTS and paying full wack for everything, then when I started earning £80/wk as an apprentice and paying tax on it, which in part went to paying for students to go through Uni /and/ be able to buy stuff cheaper Why should some people subsidise other people's choices? Age rated discounts seem much fairer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Year Of The Fox Posted 23 April 2012 Share Posted 23 April 2012 Did you still live at home when you were on YTS? Thats kind of irrelevant. Some students still live at home rather than in digs. As he said it would be much fairer to have an age bracket. I also agree its unfair that the general tax payer should fund a particular lifestyle choice.

They all get ribbed I can see where you're coming from. Like you said where do you draw the line? I just think getting rid of student prices altogether is a joke. An increase was inevitable across the board really, but over 200%? Do you not get any discounts being a student? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so, but can't say I've ever looked into it! Its a Level 3 Apprenticship so I doubt it. For what its worth, I do sympathise with the increase being as big as it is, BUT I don't think there ever should've been a student price in the first place.

JonnyBoy Posted 23 April 2012 Share Posted 23 April 2012 what an absolute joke, i was 100% getting one if it wasn't for this farse. They have got it all wrong and will lose out on a lot of fans. Well Done. High five Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 1% of students live at home, probably less. Highly doubt they'll have to pay up to 4 or 5 grand for accomodation and buy all their own food..

Matt Posted 23 April 2012 Share Posted 23 April 2012 Did you still live at home when you were on YTS? 1) In most cases Students don't need to move away, some might and that's fair enough, most could go to a local uni and commute. 2) Ever heard of board? That accumulated up to near £200 p/month + other bills for me. 3) When I was an apprentice I had to travel to jobs and often get digs, some of which was subsidized by my company, some I had to pay myself. Not doubt this will get classed as moaning rather than fact though so i'll bring this post to an end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about college students paying board? I'm sorry, I just disagree with this whole, 'we're students the world owes us' attitude. My brother managed fine with a part time job and living in accommodation and then a flat in Manchester. I mean I presume you (not you personally) all do work somewhere part time?!

They probably could, but that scenario will never ever happen because of the different quality uni's. That's like saying i should support York City because they're local and cheap, when i've supported them all my life. 2. You'll have to explain to me what that is? 3. I'd say Apprentices on low wages deserve something too tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you live at home, it's highly unlikely that you'll pay for your meals seperately to your parents, and if you do happen to have pay rent it will not be half as expensive as university accomodation. I'll be at Newcastle next year, got a part-time job and will once i get there. Would have just got a season ticket at £130, but the increase now, as well as all the travel costs will easily price me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be classed as moaning because that is all you do when you're on this topic...and it certainly isn't "fact". Most students don't need to move away? Why is that then? You do realise that Universities differ in the courses they offer don't you? Even the content in similar courses can differ from institution to institution.

My mate (a current st holder) is studying medicine at Leeds uni but wanted to study at Leicester uni but was rejected. By your retarded logic he should have sacked off becoming a doctor so that he could have stayed closer to home, but then again he is a "lazy, sponging student". You won't be criticising students if 1 day a member of your family needs to have surgery and has their life saved by a former student... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because i've always took my hat off to people going for the right reasons, but I know way too many people going for the wrong reasons and doing fuck all to follow it up. That's not to tar everyone with the same brush but blame the people who go for the wrong reasons for giving students the bad name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
