    I’ve checked my drawer and realised I’ve been using my dads OAP season ticket for the home games (at least the last two games). He has my adult one.

    Is there any reason why I wasn’t stopped getting in?

    I will be meeting my dad for the Blackpool game so we’ll swap over then, but I am just curious. I’m also 30 years old so I don’t look like I qualify for an OAP ticket in the slightest!

    They don't have time at the turnstiles to look that closely at every ticket.

    true, to be fair, if I did get stopped I would be able to show that I do have my ticket on my phone. Just wondered that’s all!

    You've been lucky, there's a different noise from the scanner when we need to check someone's age. Maybe you just had a bad paper round ;)

    Not very complimentary to you if they hear the different beep, look up and assume you're an OAP!

    My daughters and me play a game where we swap season tickets around before entry.

    Recently it's been the only fun we've had on a match day.

    Especially with all the thousands of people trying to get in mostly 5 minutes before kick off

    Ha. Reminds me of one of the MOD sites I worked at (Army Base Repair Organisation in Andover and Warminster) some years ago. We used to see what we could get away with flashing at the guards as we drove through the security check point to get on site rather than our MOD passes. Blockbuster video card, playing cards. That sort of thing :) It was surprising how often they didn't check properly.
