Students are fair game IMO. Impossible to tell if someone is a student or not based on physical appearance.

As long as the team plays like Children I dont think fans should pay adult ticket prices.

I got my ticket checked as I went in, FFS I'm a child anyway, and I notice they didn't actually check any adults around me.

Also my mate who didn't have his student ID, who bought a ticket for the game (student ticket) didn't get asked for ID, hes a student but if he could do it then how many adults did too?

The orange light goes off for a child or concession ticket,so of course adults around you didn't get checked.

I for one am glad they're finally doing their jobs.

Except the one at cboz's gate apparently. But it's a start.

Though it could cause an awkward situation for me if they checked when my I'D expired - 2007...

(I was a student when buying my season pass)

They asked me and my mates for ID at the gate, I didn't have any so they took me away and said if I got caught again without I'd have to upgrade to an adult ticket. Agree, good that they are doing their job now.

My family has a Family Season pass and you can't tell which of the four is an adult or child although they have our Christian names.

you can buy a family pass and all the separate tickets to that don't say weather its a childs or adults. This is what we do.

Apologies if you get all angry but it just offsets the cost and enables 4 of us to go for a reasonable price rather than all be hit hard before we even get to the game and pay $4.50 for a punnit of chips. The prices for an adult ticket are ridiculous and how are you meant to attract your friends to come by saying it costs 33 bucks to get in? 


Just on that. The match ticket income goes to the Phoenix and the punnet of chip sales price goes to the Stadium - is that correct?

I wonder what the club would prefer - A dude rocking up and buying a kid's ticket, or not rocking up at all because he can't afford it.


Where do you draw the line though? If it's okay for someone to get in on a kid's tickets, then is it okay for everyone to just buy kid's tickets?

It's the same concept with anything - bus fares, say. Do the bus companies let adults pay child fares because it's better than no fare from that person? Of course not.

Meant no checking of tickets at the FZ though.

They accepted my 2007 student ID again thankfully

Also, If the photo is the reason I showed them the back of my ID, no photo on that side....

About time they did it! It has been common knowledge it has been a problem for sometime and I am surprised it took them this long. Admittedly some guards lack the intelligence to make simple decisions, and it may have taken a little longer to get in than usual, but good on them.

Are the membership passes transferable, ie adult pass given to another adult to gain entry?

As far as I'm aware. Don't think they can really stop you anyway.

Well I thought he was banned so why has he been allowed to re-register.

 

Regardless if you are a troll or not, you don't think people are just a little tired of your schtick?

You're not morally bankrupt. You're just a f**king idiot.

I can see it around the water cooler now

'Oh I pay for kids tickets to go to a football game and then go on their forum to wind up everyone with an opinion that is based on my minds fantasy of whats right according to me. I'm really cool'

 

If I ever meet you at a game, I'm going to punch you. And if any mod wants to ban me for this post, I'm not fussed nor will I protest. In fact, it been a good start to my morning getting that off my chest.

That's correct. I have a student ticket and at every game  have to back that up with other id.
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.
