Hi,

Looking to buy my senior pass now while there's 25% off, but am not 60 until March next year - although plan to use it in the summer 2026.

Is it possible to buy now? Im 59 at moment.

Thanks

Many thanks - so when I go through to payment options, it will either not ask me for age, or will take into account my travel dates vis a vis my DOB?

You have to enter your DOB in the screen "traveller details”, which is before the payment options.

So...I won't be able to buy a Senior Pass before my actual 60th birthday, despite the fact I aim to use it after I am 60?

Hi ​@Jem 

The system should allow you to buy the Senior Pass if you will be 60 within the next 11 months. Please let me know if you are having any issues. 

Have a nice day!

Yes, you can buy it now. It’s your age on the date of activation that matters.

That's not what I wrote. You can buy any pass you want, but the activation will only work if you have the correct age.
