On the other hand a Cat C ticket (also called "wider eligibility") can be issued to a much broader category of people, but isn't much of a discount over revenue fares unless you need a one-way. Think 130$ + taxes or so for a mid-distance flight (I don't have the table in front of me right now so going off memory). Pricing is per segment, so obviously this type of ticket lends itself to one-way ticketing.
No, a Cat C is ID50 and only available to direct relatives. You are thinking of 'special tickets', which are not that special on many sectors...
