Historic Royal Palaces tickets non-UK citizen over 65

Their reply was:

*Any visitor aged 65 years and over are welcome to purchase a concession admission at our palaces.

It is unlikely that staff will request proof of age, but we always recommend that visitors bring some form of identification that lists their date of birth (e.g. driver’s licence).*

That's your answer. I have never seen a person buying a Concession ticket asked about their nationality. Age or other reason, yes. Citizen, no..

Nationality requirements for concessions can be common in some other countries but I can't immediately think of any in England.

Phil, if you are going to a couple of the palaces, we saved money joining the Historic Royal Palaces as joint members. I visited Kensington Palace and my friend and I visited Tower of London and Hampton Court. Just an idea for you. Membership is on their website. It took about a month to get the membership cards in the mail (to the US), but as soon as I joined I had the number. I didn't need to show the membership card to enter, just the ticket on my phone or printed.

I just returned from the UK and had no problem buying or using concession tickets, nor was I ever asked for proof of age and I am on the cusp of qualifying.

Ditto what others have said. I wasn’t asked for proof of nationality or age when I bought my Historic Environment Scotland pass in September. Maybe I just look that old and they didn’t want to embarrass me.

I take it as a compliment if someone wants me to prove I qualify for a concession ticket…………

Thanks all and I hope it is the answer others seek.

horsewoofie - I had not considered the annual joint membership, but now definitely will.
