formerly known as ivan Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 I have a spare u19 season ticket for Saturday. Am I right in thinking this can be upgraded to an adult for a one off game? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl&Toby Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Yep. I’ve done it. Ring them up and pay the difference. Or wing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the light flashes a different color depending on the age category of the season ticket but you'd be pretty unlucky if you experienced any issues. Some people may say, why cheat the system but at the end of the day its another bum on seat.. you could spend money in food and drink outlets, sports bar, club shop why your there. extra revenue for the club etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only matters if (a) a steward sees it and (b) can be arsed to intervene (apparently. . . ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerly known as ivan Posted January 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Yeah won’t lie have used other cards before but if it’s a case of paying a bit extra without the need of trying to sneak someone in then would be happy to pay it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishRed Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Never done it - always paid the difference. I have noticed this season that there are more stewards monitoring the turnstiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away I can understand but it’s simple maths. People who abuse the system just take money out the coffers. I know it's petty to get annoyed but I see so many adults getting in on child tickets - the stewards don't seem to care, only fans who realise others are seeing a season for £100. And yes I do know people who do it all season, you only have to have an under 19's id to get the ticket - no-one seems to check who uses it.

I've seen cards taken off people and them be removed for using a kids ticket. Only 2 or 3 times to be fair, but still. I wouldn't risk it myself.

Bar BS3 Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 I hope they clamp down on it. I have never let an adult use my sons season ticket, without upgrading it myself. Why would anyone want to try a cheat our own club..?! Anyone doing it is a scabby tosser, who is no better than the Sags who sold their duplicate season ticket books!

Wondered how you feel about an adult letting a mate of his borrow his season ticket if he can't make the match. It's against the rules to let anyone else use it apparently. For the record, I lent my adult ticket to my mum once, she was an OAP i.e. someone getting in on a more expensive ticket. Equally against the rules, but no one can seriously say that that's ripping off the club because she wouldn't have gone otherwise, and my dad (season ticket holder) wouldn't have gone either.

Letting your mate use an adult season ticket is not ripping the club off. The seat is suitably & appropriately paid for. No problem whatsoever with that, obviously. An adult scabbing entry on a child ticket is not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheating the club by deliberately & fraudulently under paying for entry to matches, whilst everyone else is trying to pull in the same direction to bring us some long overdue success.... yes, I’d stand by my description of people who do that.

DOZZYBCFC Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 What difference would you have to pay? Is it the difference between the season ticket price for u19 for the match and the full price for an adult or the difference between the season ticket price for u19 and season ticket price for adult?

Not according to this it isn't if you follow the correct process. What happens if I cannot attend a home game? If you can’t attend a game and wish a friend of the same age category to use your season card you must let the club know (see terms and conditions). If the season card needs to be upgraded, e.g. from an under-12 to an adult, you must contact Supporter Services to pay for the upgrade. The upgrade cost will be calculated as the full price ticket minus the pro-rata rate of the season card. Please be advised that we will need to create a ticketing account for all supporters that wish to attend a game in place of the season card holder. https://tickets.bristol-sport.co.uk/screenloader.aspx?type=include&page=documents/html/FAQs.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard Lerring Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Does anyone know if you can upgrade a kids ST to an adult at the ticket office before the game? Phones have been ridiculously busy last couple of days! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
