Josh93 Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I've bought two tickets for tomorrow's game (under 19 and under 22), does anyone know whether I can change one of them to an adult ticket and pay the difference?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I know other people have paid the difference when using a Season Ticket so don't see why it isn't possible to upgrade a match ticket. Best to phone the ticket office before turning up perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Cyril Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Why can't it be like the old days...shuffle up to the busiest turnstile at 5 mins before kick off, point to someone random in the other direction and shout " look - away fans!" then hurdle the turnstile and peg it into the stands and get lost in the crowd.Jobs a bloody good one and steward is a mug. Sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorted.When I was a nipper going to AG with my mates, one would pay the 50p admission whilst the other would crawl under the turnstile. Sorry City.

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Without encouraging fraud, just use the ticket, no one seems to check as long as it works correctly .When using the SS- Stewards stand by the ticket machine. The machine lights up in different colours depending on adult/kid ticket so it's pretty easy for them to see if an adult's getting in on a kid's ticket . You then get told off, ejected and have to hassle round to the ticket office, upgrade and miss the start of the match. Not that I've tried it ........

Mad Cyril Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Right, I've got it. Yellow perspex.The turnstile lights up blue for a Junior and green for an adult. As you place your ticket in the barcode scanner, simultaneously place the yellow perspex filter over the light and hey presto, blue light shines green.

Was with a friend (30s) who was using his Dad's (oap) season ticket and got pulled over at MKs game when the turnstile flashed the wrong colour. Got told that they would confiscate the season ticket if he did it again then let him in without paying extra! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep as far as tickets go - probably best to pay to Caesar what is due to Lansdown etcBut Dave......nothing personal - have you considered losing a few pounds so you can actually get through the gate?

If you're really unlucky they sit you down and make you watch the 2nd half of the MK Dons game on DVD as punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
