Make sure you ask. A lot of places start the discount at 55 (some at 50) since that is what AARP considers "senior". I find it pays to ask. As an aside - my daughter who was not quite a senior - had purchased my ticket at the local state fair. When asked if she could also get a ticket (she was not quite eligible) at the senior price, her reasoning was she felt like a senior. The cashier smiled and gave her the senior price.
