Title: Advice please on ST lending
Post by: purpletrousers on October 25, 2019, 01:05:29 AM
My Dad is struggling to do evening games and won’t get to the Wolves cup game.

I’ve been told by TO that converting the ST card to e-Tix for this would mean it doesn’t go on his booking history, *and* we’d also have to pay the £10 to convert to the e-tkt to the desired Under 18s ticket even though it’s the same value as the one being returned :/

When you get a card/Tkt in the entry thing it shows a colour/s. Green I think is adults, is the concession colour different for elders and juniors?

Just working out if it’s feasible for a 15yo to go in on an elders ST without too much hassle, or a bit risky.

We've done it a number of times with kids ST letting an OAP in, sure you'll be fine, as you say it only picks up concession colour.  Dont think the guys on the turnstiles give a damn

Thanks Leylandalbion that’s really helpful, if any others have similar experience would appreciate it also.

I have 2 season tickets, one in my name and one in my Wife's name (it actually says Mrs on her card) sometimes my son (he is 27 by the way and not a junior and has facial hair, my Wife doesn't lol) comes with me and we have never even been asked or neither has it even been mentioned, he just scans the card and walks in, no worries.

Ta,though presumably that’s adult for adult so would be the same colour on the scan thing.

Done this several times, I'd be amazed if there were any issues
