Change of plan on Saturday by a friend, so I am taking my daughter to the game, is this usually a problem for a child to get in on an adult ticket.

I presume it is more of a problem for an adult to get in on a child ticket. ( would have to be a small adult ).

Cheers for any help

Firstly, ask yourselves why on earth an adult cannot use a ticket that was bought for a child and ponder the imponderable as to whether the same reasons would apply the other way round. If you struggle with this, the clue is the price paid!!!!!!

anyone can use a full price ticket, be a child, student, oap etc.

not sure how 'concessions' will be monitored for mis-use but if its like other places i've been with smart cards (stamford bridge for example) different colour lights come on to identify concession tickets and its up to the stewards to spot it, which isn't easy when everyone's piling in with 10mins to go!

I am not struggling with this, I believe that there is no problem a child using an adult ticket because the club are not losing out. Just wanted it confirmed. Not too much to ask I thought.

Ah but to quote your original post, you said you presume it is more of a problem for a child to use an adult ticket. Well, the use of the word more would suggest you believe it is a problem for a child to use an adult ticket but that you think it it worse if the adult is using a child ticket. Perhaps if you had said something along the lines of ' I presume there is no problem with a child using an adult ticket although I appreciate it is not the same is an adult is using a child's ticket'. Clarity, it's the name of the game.

I thank you for clarifying that for me. Much appreciated.

Once again, picking on the newbies. A simple question, perhaps worded incorrectly but still a simple, straight forward question asked by someone who just wanted an answer from his football teams forum. How dare he...

Might be a bit tricky in future when the smartcard is swiped and your daughter is greeted with an announcement of "Thank You , Sir" :lol:

On Monday when my son (8) went through the turnstile the light went orange, for me it went green

On the basis that you are swiping it through an unmanned ticket machine how is it going to know :shrug:

edit as just read the lights system above :facepalm:

If your are refering to me then I didn't pick on him because he was a newbie.
