C86 Posted March 6, 2011 Author Posted March 6, 2011 Having a photo on the ST has been muted and the technology is available for doing this when you renew or buy ST. This would mean not being able to pass you ST on if you can't make a match but the ST is non-transferable...
peebles Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 I guess if you're working on the tunstiles, you want to get folk in so you can get to see the game. I wouldnt be arsed myself either. Celtic charge about the same for kids tickets & the other year, they had a crackdown whereby every juvenle ST holder had to go into the club and present i.d. within a couple of weeks, or their ST was revoked. Their crowds have dipped by a good few thousand since.
cbwfcd Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 I wondered why I got a funny look from the turnstile guy, thought he wasn't going to let me in for a second. Maybe he realised that I had an adult ST just in time.
darwen_white Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 There's another grey area with all this. As a non ST holder, I've taken my little one to a couple of games this season with tickets I've bought online and printed off at home. When we've arrived at the turnstiles, it's merely a case of having our barcodes scanned and being let in... Surely, anyone could get in with a printed child's barcode...?
Casino Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 bit of a scummy thing to do imo ok, if you can't afford it, i'd not want to price anybody out of going but if you can afford to sup before and after the game, its fair enough you pay 15/20 quid to get in
Carlos Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 (edited) It's software and hardware and they only work as well as the bloke who thought through the "system" Green = adult, ok Amber = child or OAP, make sure they aren't 30 odd Red = put your Tesco Clubcard back and find your ST That's off the top of my head.Of course, with the printed one, the kid goes in first with the adult on and then the adult tries to get in, gets stopped and you've got a sitation. So the print a home option needs Child Ticket plastered over it. End of the day, it's plain old fraud if done deliberately. Edited March 6, 2011 by Carlos

DaisyHillWhite Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Eyes right if they put kids up to ?200 the attendance would drop And in esl near the south everytime you go up the steps they check your ticket

Casino Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 if you trust your child enough to let them go to the footy alone surely you'd be able to trust em with their passport. no in fact, i wouldn't trust myself to keep my passport safe
Exiled Girl Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Down here, all kids over 12 have photo id - it's called a bus pass.
Breightmet Boy Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I wonder what's gonna happen if we get to Wembley and they are stricter on who they let in? Imagine walking down Wembley Way having a good old sing song n beer then the stewards don't let you in because your tickets a junior one. It's gonna all end in tears

Ani Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 People need to understand what the consequence of this will be. If the club thinks people are getting in using junior tickets, they will either put up price of kids tickets or make them only available in certain parts of the ground and enforce proper checks at every game. If they do this, no one can blame the club, they have made our kids tickets amongst the cheapest in the country and our own fans abusing this will be to blame not the club.
C86 Posted March 7, 2011 Author Posted March 7, 2011 You just don't get it do you? He may be a junior?
MickyD Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 I didn't think if was. I'd imagine most turnstile operators are also supporters so a quick meeting with them all before the next home game to let them know the scale of the losses and the impact on the club. At least that way it may prompt them into preventing entry.
frank_spencer Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 and if they don't have a passport? They could use another form of government issued id like a driving licence.
MickyD Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 They could use another form of government issued id like a driving licence. Because every person with a kid's S/T also has a driver's licence! Or are you suggesting BWFC catch folk off guard? Tickets please. Oh, I see you have a ?49 Season Ticket. You're 15 are you? That's fine, do you have a Driving Licence as well?
Sweep Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 an easy way around it, is that when you are born, you haveyour date of birth branded onto your forehead. For those who are already alive (and unbranded), when you next get your passport revalidated, you have to attend a "branding session" and have your forehead branded with your date of birth then. Anybody without a branded forehead, will be assumed to be an adult as far as entrance into football grounds goes, unless they can prove otherwise by means of a passport. The branding will also help with regards to underage drinking as well, as again, anybody "unbranded" will be deemed as being under 18, unless they can prove otherwise with other official documentation (passports, driving licence)
