A quick look at Home and Away shows that from 55/56 to 57/58 there were four terrace prices of 9d (3.5p boys), 1/- (5p), 2/- (10p) and 2/3 (13p) so we have it.
I think 1 shilling 3 pence when my Dad first took me in 1959. Two problems - my Dad is not around to ask and I am not sure.
Mine neither but that price rings a bell, I would have said early sixties although I think I was bunking in at juvenile price of 1/- 6d? wearing a sheepskin and monkey boots in 1969.
Serial numbers on them @WeegieAddick enabled some form of reconciliation with the gate receipts however if the turnstile operative was partial to a bung :-0 Then again allegedly the true attendance levels under the stewardship of the Gliksteins were never what they seemed!
