Loaning your gold card

Sat Aug 24, 2013 8:44 am

Hi does anyone know if security has been increased at the stadium. The reason I ask is that I have paid to watch the everton game and now cannot make it and wish to loan my adult gold membership to my brother to watch the game. If I do this will we get rumbled.

I reckon you'll be okay. Does your card have a photo on it?

It does have a photo on it but will this make any difference. My last years season ticket also had a photo and was borrowed on the odd occasion without any issues so is the security any tighter this year or will the turnstile just open once swiped by an adult as usual!?

It's an adult using an adult card so might be okay. Having looked at previous swipe ins, the colour lights only seem to differ if the card is an adult or junior but even then you would get away with this because my boy has swiped in with mine in the past by mistake and still got in ok and I have used his junior card by mistake and also got in ok. I was just wondering if the security was going to be any tighter now that we are in the prem but my instincts tell me no because they have used old photos on our cards that are 5 years old which is not a big issue for me but my lad has changed quite considerably since the old photo was taken.
