    I've ordered 4 adults and one child. When they came the tickets are all the same they all have adult price and doesn't mention child or concessions anywhere on ticket?

    I think we had this before for the JPT didn't we? I think someone said there's some paper with them that tells you which are which.

    No I think when you scan in the concession tickets flash a different colour to whoever is on the gate. Apparently - not sure I believe they pay any attention

    We were 8 adults and 11 kids at JPT Final. One person bought them and we just divided them up when entering the stadium. Didn't have a clue whose were adults and who's were kids. All got in no problems. We weren't even all together in the queue, so can't see how they'd could have worked out who's ticket belonged to who.

    It tells you on the paper with name and address on which tickets are adults and concessions

    I had figured that out. My point is that technically they are all the same. Unless the gate flashes or beeps when it's a child's ticket. Can't remember it happening at JPT I just showed them all.

    It's a long way to go to get turned away with the wrong ticket.

    Liverpool fans have made a name for themselves doing just that

    They're all exactly the same. No different beeps or different colours on the gate at Wembley. Exactly the same. We could all have bought child tickets and no one at Wembley would know. It was the same for the JPT. But we're honest so we didn't. I prefer it that way.

    They might have got concerned about 20000 unaccompanied children under 5 visiting the stadium though..

    I don't believe there's no protocol for checking this stuff and wouldn't fancy risking it to save a little money

    They'll do spot checks at least...surely.

    They're all exactly the same tickets. Exactly the same. There's nothing on them to say one is a juvenile and another is an adult. They're exactly the same. Ticketmaster or Barnsley FC or Millwall give one ticket to an adult and another to a juvenile, but no one at Wembley can tell if it's an adult ticket or a juvenile ticket because they're exactly the same. I can't say it any other way.

    No need for the snot. I meant when the ticket is scanned, you've no idea what is flashing up elsewhere i.e. a control room with cameras or something similar. They won't be able to keep their eye on every admission, but they might do spot checks that way.

    Yeah but that would'nt work either. e.g you order 20 tickets 4 are for kids. If the tickets look exactly the same how would you know which ones to give to the kids? So when the something is flashing up somewhere else could still be a adult with a kids.

    This is what Wembley say:

    "The stadium employs a comprehensive system that stops people from illegally entering the stadium.

    “This process includes barriers, which are full height and cannot be jumped. In addition, every bank of turnstiles has a dedicated security search steward, who searches each spectator entering the stadium. There is also additional security that monitors each patron as they enter the stadium."

    I wasn't searched, and I think this thread has little relevance in the grand scheme of things.
