My Dads friend who is a senior is unable to go through illness but I have a friend who would love to take his place. The problem is my friend isn't a senior. Is there anything we can do?

Don't use it what ever you do as you would be breaking the law and end up in the tower, just ask Stan

Wow. As easy as that? Surely everyone would just be buying senior tickets to abuse the system if thats the case?

Great to hear though. So if I bring a mate along to use a senior ticket it's not likely at all that he'll get turned away?

Thanks for the reply.

If you follow daftas's advice you will commit a criminal offence. As it is Daftas has already committed a criminal offence. I am not going to grass either of you up but you may want to consider whether it is worth risking getting a criminal record?

Your mate will probably be able to contact someone with a spare ticket on here.

Listen to Stan mate cause he's like a judge Dredd
" i am the law" is what he says

Basically when you go through the turnstile with a non-full price ticket it shows a different light pattern to the security inside. Usually no-one will query it.

However it's not unheard of for home clubs to notify away clubs when there's a suspicious pattern of concession purchasing so they can monitor it. For instance I know for a fact that after Southampton played Wigan in the Premier League in 2012/13, Wigan contacted Saints after discovering that more than 25% of their fans had purchased children's tickets.

So you can probably get away with that kind of thing here and there, but they've got the right to chuck you out if you can't prove the concession is appropriate and clubs won't put up with it for long.

Paid with cash with no customer ID on the ticket.

Still too risky, the Wembley police might catch you and send you to Wembley jail.........................

If anyone stops you - just say your name is Benjamin Button...............................

You could if you're worried buy a 10 pound ticket of here and use the senior ticket to sit next to your mate but when we played there in the trophy final my boy was a mascot and had to join the others outside the ground to be escorted in by a guide, anyway i give him the wrong ticket by mistake and ended up using his

It won't get you in either way.

Rubbish.

The system you are talking about relies on savvy stewards on each turnstyle, not the 18 year old students on minimum wage night work that Wembley employ.

How many times have you tried it yourself?

You provided an example where you'd already been stopped. In that situation you almost certainly will not get in.

Are you this stiff in real life as well ?

It's not my fault you gave an example where you definitely wouldn't get in.
