U22 / Over 65s - lights at turnstile

[Permafrost]

If my lad, who has an U22 season ticket in SK3, can't make a home game would it be ok for my dad (over 75 years old) to use his season ticket.

 

i.e. is it the same colour light for U22s and Seniors? That's the only thing I can see that may cause an issue on entry.

 

The concession pricing for those two age brackets is identical so I'm thinking it would be the same.

I've never really paid attention to how many colours there are 

 

Thanks.

All concessions light up the same I believe. It's just green for adult, amber for concession and then red if it's not letting you in for any reason.

Should be fine.  Might sister takes her kids using my parents season tickets when they are on holiday. Parents are both over 65.

OK cheers folks.

 

I think officially you're supposed to swap it for a matchday ticket and pay the difference, but that seems a bit of a palaver when the concession is the same.

I’ve had a concession ticket for five seasons and also go to about 15 or so away games a year. I can’t think of any other team that uses the traffic light system, although some teams like West Ham have a designated manned concession gate. Even Wembley only has green and red. You’ll be fine.

Anyone struggle with paper bar codes?

 

You have to push them right in to get them to register but the laser reader lures you into thinking you're doing it correct when it's half in!

I checked as I do it regularly....swapping dad's oap ticket for kids etc

 

There is a difference. I think two Ambers light up for a kid and only one for oap..or vice versa. ....but at best, the steward only gives a cursory glance and even if they notice, so long as it is concession for concession, it's not a piss take

Definitely the same for U22 and Seniors though. I was watching on Saturday.

May for younger age groups it's as you say Panini.
