Can a young Adult get away with using an OAP card ?
Can a young Adult get away with using an OAP card ?
I have taken mates to home games in their 50's before using my Dad's OAP card to get them in with no issues. However this time I m thinking of using it for a younger adult. Would rather avoid daft old man outfits etc !
Does anyone have experience of this causing problems at the Emirates ?

I'd imagine if your mate looks in his early 20's he's gonna get stopped. Who knows? I've no experience of bunking in as an OAP tbh...Jeremy wrote:I have taken mates to home games in their 50's before using my Dad's OAP card to get them in with no issues.

Used to bunk in with a mate's mate at the old turnstiles at Highbury back in the 90's though. We'd just hand him a tenner and he'd hand us back an old ticket stub or sometimes just a bit of torn card!

Isn't there a light inside the gate to indicate to the stewards what kind of card is being used? If they can be arsed they may take issue with you. I think the system is there to stop stolen tickets or jg tickets being used incorrectly. I may be wrong about all of this!

Re: Can a young Adult get away with using an OAP card ?
I'm more interested in your dad's OAP card. Is it just his red/silver card or was he issued with one for old 'uns like a bus pass? I'm interested to know as I just entered the age where people will talk loudly and slowly to me and the government give me money every four weeks.Jeremy wrote:I have taken mates to home games in their 50's before using my Dad's OAP card to get them in with no issues.
