Thefoxman Posted 18 June 2014 Posted 18 June 2014 I close couple of friends have season tickets but can't make the first game is ok for 2 diffrent people to go instead?
Mark_w Posted 18 June 2014 Posted 18 June 2014 If they're in the same age group I can't see there being any problem at all.
Thefoxman Posted 18 June 2014 Author Posted 18 June 2014 If they're in the same age group I can't see there being any problem at all. The tickets are for women 50-60 and it's me and my mate going were both male 30 yo
Stuliasz Posted 18 June 2014 Posted 18 June 2014 You're all in the Adult bracket which is all that matters so you should be fine. Club are only bothered if you're getting in on a cheaper ticket.
ElusiveEd Posted 18 June 2014 Posted 18 June 2014 I think that's OK. Its just when someone oversteps the concessions rules. Like an adult trying to get in on a kiddies concessional ticket. By the sounds of it there are 2 adults entering on 2 adult ST's? Unless one of them is an OAP ticket? Do they start at 60 years old? The stewards ain't to know what sex the season tickets were bought under as there are no female or male season tickets. I do stand to be corrected tho.
Thefoxman Posted 18 June 2014 Author Posted 18 June 2014 Isn't it just a matter of putting ticket in the machine and bang or in? hopefully we will be ok as don't want to miss opening day! 1 of the tickets is oap I think
davieG Posted 18 June 2014 Posted 18 June 2014 According to the st regs you need to let them know. "In the event of a ST card being loaned to any other supporter without prior notification to the City Fanstore the club reserves the right to withdraw and cancel the card without compensation" You'd be extremely unlucky if they found out though. OAP Tickets start at 65. You could just contact them at let them know if you're concerned im sure they'll ok it
Mike Oxlong Posted 18 June 2014 Posted 18 June 2014 The tickets are for women 50-60 and it's me and my mate going were both male 30 yo Don't listen to the others. To get in you and your mate will need to go in drag. Wigs with a bit of grey, fake boobies ( not too pert ) and a nice floral blouse or frock should do the trick though. And don't go too heavy on the lippy.

A couple of years back, I remember the club presenting the option to transfer your season ticket to a friend as one of the benefits of being a season-ticket holder. I did that a couple of times 2-3 years back, but have never seen mention of it since. During this last season, I have personal experience of someone male and middle-aged (cough! cough!) transferring their season ticket to a young female without informing the club and having no problems. In case of future problems with any little Hitlers, I might, er, advise that middle-aged chap to inform the club, just in case. I definitely think that the OP should follow Mike Oxlong's excellent advice, in any case.

BoyJones Posted 18 June 2014 Posted 18 June 2014 Up to last season OAP tickets at the City started at 60, I am turning 62 and in my second year of concession prices. However, my mate who is 61 has had to pay full price as the age limit was raised this year to 65, in line with Premier League. His ticket next to me was £130 more than mine.

I hope your splitting the difference with him!
BoyJones Posted 18 June 2014 Posted 18 June 2014 ps a youngster in his 40's borrowed my ticket last year, he was worried but just went to the ticket office and got them to print out a paper ticket for the seat and paid extra £10. (mind you, you have to pick the right assistant as I think strictly speaking not allowed)

BoyJones Posted 18 June 2014 Posted 18 June 2014 No but it will always be my first round in The Donkey before the game!
Danno Posted 18 June 2014 Posted 18 June 2014 How do they know whether you scan a childs season ticket, adult, or OAP? Surely only you can see what's on the card and it just beeps.
MrSpaM Posted 18 June 2014 Posted 18 June 2014 Considering the gates dont have a huge flashing sign stating the age and gender of the owner as you walk through, pretty sure you'll be fine. I've often wondered exactly what is stopping people buying a kids season ticket every year since they've started using these electronic tickets, doesnt seem to be anybody checking anything as you walk through the turnstiles.
davieG Posted 18 June 2014 Posted 18 June 2014 A different coloured light comes on for concession tickets that is in sight of the steward manning the turnstile inside.

Babylon Posted 18 June 2014 Posted 18 June 2014 Ah that makes sense, wondered what those lights were forThey are plastic fan detectors.

I definitely think that the OP should follow Mike Oxlong's excellent advice, in any case. If you missed a game last season you could get a "free" ticket for a friend to another game. Limited to two per season. Not sure about next season, with so few on general sale it might not be possible. To the OP, I would imagine there as hundreds of people who aren't the named holder at every game. As other day so long as you aren't trying to enter on a child's or concessions ticket you will be fine.
Deucalion Posted 18 June 2014 Posted 18 June 2014 I've done this many times and it has never been a problem. The only problem could arise if someone you lent a ticket to got into trouble. In fact, I have already given my tickets to someone for Everton as I will be away in Turkey.
