Amesbury Saint Posted 24 March, 2010 Share Posted 24 March, 2010 1 purchased 3 adult tickets and I child ticket for Wembley. All the tickets show adult price but one is missing one of the tear off slips. Is this supposed to be the child ticket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted 24 March, 2010 Share Posted 24 March, 2010 I hope so. My 4 arrived today and 2 had a piece missing and I ordered 2 adults and 2 kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_lambden Posted 24 March, 2010 Share Posted 24 March, 2010 Yes our tickets are the same, all the tickets have the same price printed on them. We ordered one adult + a child one , the second has a slip missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bourno Posted 24 March, 2010 Share Posted 24 March, 2010 The tickets with the stubs torn off need to be given to the concessions as adults will be unable to enter the ground with these tickets.

Rebel Posted 24 March, 2010 Share Posted 24 March, 2010 Victoria that's kind of important information! You might went to tell everyone that bought a concession ticket that particular snippet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohwhenthesaints Posted 24 March, 2010 Share Posted 24 March, 2010 Yeah, the one I posted to my uncle (concession) wasn't the one with the slip torn off and we're not arriving at the same time. Brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandwichsaint Posted 25 March, 2010 Share Posted 25 March, 2010 Ummm stupid question but who will know?! Don't you scan the ticket at the turnstile and walk on in?!?! Stupid answer - the bar code in the ticket points to either full price or concession - full price will trigger a green light and you walk on in - concession triggers an amber light and the stewards will look to see if it is being presented by an u16 or an over 65. Fairly confident you will not be able to swipe a children's ticket and breeze on in... unless of course it's 'busy' and/or the stewards take not a blind bit of notice of doing their jobs properly! All the above IMHO and completely made-up but I figure that's how it works ... HTH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just asked for a senior ticket, which for Saints is over 60, and that's what they sent me, no questions asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGSaint Posted 25 March, 2010 Share Posted 25 March, 2010 What happens to those of us who ordered a large batch of tickets (personally had to order 20, including a couple of concessions) but have handed out the tickets randomly to those within the group - and we wont all be meeting up before we get into the stadium.

Yes, that is a similar situation as to what I am in. Couldn't they have marked the concession tickets properly or at least told us which ones they were?

derry Posted 25 March, 2010 Share Posted 25 March, 2010 I ordered 10 tickets including 2 concessions (seniors) and presumed that the 2 tickets with only one stub were the senior tickets, as all the tickets showed full price, that identified them as concessions. The Carlisle senior concession is over 65 but the Southampton concession is over 60, this is because the normal club concessions at each club apply.

derry Posted 25 March, 2010 Share Posted 25 March, 2010 Or because we're old before our time down here! The Carlisle forum were complaining because their criteria was 65 for seniors, whilst we were getting the concession at 60. It was explained that the ticketing policy was dictated by the clubs own rules which had to be adhered to for the final tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway seeing as their Chairman has said they will have to cut costs next season because of their poor gates I suppose OAPs starting at 65 is normal. 65 being the retirement age in the UK (or so it was) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it can be either 60 or 65, just so long as it's equal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlelat17 Posted 25 March, 2010 Share Posted 25 March, 2010 So what do people who have given tickets out to their party do when adults have tickets with one of the stubs torn off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 25 March, 2010 Share Posted 25 March, 2010 So what do people who have given tickets out to their party do when adults have tickets with one of the stubs torn off? They have to go against everything 99% of posters on here seem capable of and use their initiative to find a way of swapping the tickets over so they have the correct ones.

Michelle Posted 25 March, 2010 Share Posted 25 March, 2010 Are people seriously suggesting that they didn't notice or wonder why some tickets had smaller stubs until now? (Those who have literally just received theirs excluded.) I ordered two big batches, one had two concessions and one had one, when I received the tickets I managed to work out which should have been for which in about 2 seconds. Quite bemused there seems to be so much confusion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
