Don't want to bother the ticket office staff with this, and potentially give the game away if it's not kosher
Does anyone know from experience, if someone has a senior season ticket but can't go to a game, can someone who isn't a senior use the ticket or pay a "top up"? Don't really want to rock up on the day and chance it without sounding people out first, with not being able to buy on the turnstile anymore.
Thanks

I believe you can go into the Ticket Office with it and ask them to upgrade it to the "correct" adult level ticket (paying the difference) and they stamp / mark it in some way for you to then use it.Shade wrote:Don't want to bother the ticket office staff with this, and potentially give the game away if it's not kosher

do you really think they check tickets at the turnstile You can hardly read what's on them anyway.Shade wrote:Don't want to bother the ticket office staff with this, and potentially give the game away if it's not kosher

The ticket quite clearly says "Senior" on it, lack of ink or no. And yes, they usually look down at the ticket as they tear it. Or at least they do when I go in.longmover wrote:do you really think they check tickets at the turnstile You can hardly read what's on them anyway.Shade wrote:Don't want to bother the ticket office staff with this, and potentially give the game away if it's not kosher

Who cares if they check it or not…using the ticket is defrauding and/or stealing from the Club one supposedly supports.longmover wrote:do you really think they check tickets at the turnstile You can hardly read what's on them anyway.Shade wrote:Don't want to bother the ticket office staff with this, and potentially give the game away if it's not kosher

Whilst you're right, it's also an opportunity for someone who might not consider paying £28 for a ticket to watch the game at a discount (when the ticket is going free anyway) to watch the Robins and then potentially come again in future paying full price.
They might also buy a programme, a 50/50 ticket (if the Trust are still doing them) and a scarf. They might enjoy it that much, that they decide to sponsor a player, or buy an advertising board if they own their own company.
All because a spare senior citizen/u16 ticket was going unused.

Paying the top up is still going at a discount. I don’t know the price difference but say you have to pay £10 to convert a senior citizen ticket into an adult ticket then that is a good deal as you get in for £10 rather than £28.Si Robin wrote:Whilst you're right, it's also an opportunity for someone who might not consider paying £28 for a ticket to watch the game at a discount (when the ticket is going free anyway) to watch the Robins and then potentially come again in future paying full price.

To remain the voice of reality and reason and politeness - I have to say that is a logical, correct and well argued point.RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:Paying the top up is still going at a discount.
