No it won't! We've hired a global provider of supporter management solutions don't ya know.

Aye - and LOCOG hired the world's leading provider of security solutions.

No I don't get it, I don't get how one person covering an entire block can be quick enough to deal with it

One person can cover a whole block of self-service tills in a supermarket where there might also be 'age issues'.

But if it is just a Green light for Adult and say Yellow light for concessions, then a 16yr old can go through on a 10yr old's ticket without arousing suspicion?

Perhaps the Yellow means 'check ticket is valid for the holder'.

If on the other hand they have one person for each turnstile then the entire scheme is simply a total wate of money.

The new system might mean people can get in a lot quicker so they don't need to open as many turnstiles.

Probably more importantly, they will also mostly know who is in. Plus expanding the system to allow development into a cashless system for the kiosks and shop, which in other stadia has led to an increaes in sales.

If you really, really want to get in on a cheaper ticket I'm sure there are ways to do that, just like you can travel for free on a bus or steal things in a supermarket. I bought a U16 ticket for a Newcastle match last year (I'm 20) and it was fine. I wouldn't do that again because there's a risk of getting caught and it's also morally wrong IMO, but it's not going to be Alcatraz.

If our system works in the same way as Newcastle then there'll be a lot of reliance on honesty from fans.

Flashes a different coloured light when you go through to signify a concessionary ticket

Yes - this was one of the problems with the system that was supposed to have been installed last season, it didn't have such a facility.

Does your new-found morality mean you wrote a letter of apology and enclosed the difference in ticket cost? If not then I say buy more and continue to fleece the club.
