60 64 65 80?

I didn't get a season ticket this season for the first time in eons - now living over 100 miles away and, at the time, dubious future of the club, made the decision for me.
I've managed to see a couple of games with hopefully a few more this month.
So I was interested in the half season ticket offer...pondered closely but reluctantly decided in the end not worth it. But it might have been had I been considered/defined a 'concession' (a few birthdays lacking). This encouraged me to look at other club's policies - what a mix!! Just take a look at this:
Aldershot Town Over 65, Military personnel, young adults 19-21, students
Barnet 65 years and over & under the age of 21.
Barrow 65+
Boreham Wood OAP Over 65 only
Braintree Town OAP and those in full time education
Bromley Over 65’s
Chesterfield over 65 's and juniors ages between 17 - 21 years.
Dagenham & Redbridge over 65s and students with a valid NUS card
Dover Athletic over 60
Eastleigh Over 60's - Under 18's - Student's with a valid NUS card
Ebbsfleet United Over 60s / Students (with ID)
Fylde none obvious from website
Halifax Town Over 65’s and Students with ID
Gateshead Over 60 and members of armed forces
Harrogate Town Over 65’s and supporters eligible for PIP/DLA
Hartlepool United 60+ students and armed forces
Havant & Waterlooville exist but unclear what!
Leyton Orient Senior = 65+
Maidenhead United SENIOR CITIZEN/UB40/NUS
Maidstone United 65+/students with valid ID
Salford City 60 and Over, Children 5-16, Students with ID
Solihull Moors 65+ years, Serving Military Personnel with a valid 'Forces ID' card, Students with a valid NUS card
Sutton United Adult tickets are for those aged 20 to 59. Concessionary discounts available for younger or older supporters and students
Wrexham Over 64 & U21s (less for 80+)
Many questions begging amongst which what is an OAP or a Senior Citizen, why such disparity between 60 and 65 and shouldn't there be a league policy/guidance on this? It's all a bit 1970's, isn't it?
