Using a friends season ticket for one game because they can't attend the match and I've never used a season ticket before, how do you enter the ground with it/scan it?? I obviously don't want to act like I've never used a season ticket before at the ground because trading season tickets isn't allowed so...

And don't forget to roll your left trouser leg up to the knee. A few people have made the mistake of doing the wrong leg.

Either side up is fine, there is a chip inside that is sensed rather than a barcode to be read.

There are huge amounts of people I see clutching a season ticket while going up and down trying to work out where the seat is. If it's your seat you'd know where it is!

Same as an oyster card or contactless debit card. Hold it under the scanner and the magic will happen... wait a second until the little light comes on and then go through.

You have to scan it but also yell the entry password at the nearest steward. This password is texted out on the day of the game and is usually Albion related. You will need to get your mate to let you know the password on the day of the game, otherwise just ask someone else queuing up.

If you don't get the text, the default word to yell is 'bomb'

Just wave it under the sensor and it'll let you through.

Admittedly I haven't been this season but you tap it on top, don't you? (Like an oyster card or debit card) What you describe is nothing like an oyster card or debit card and the scanner underneath is for barcodes on match-by-match tickets, is it not?

Don't worry it can be confusing for season ticket holders as well. For over three seasons we always used the entrance to the NS by the steps up to the west stand. Then we decided to use the entrance on the East side of the ground on day, I put my season tickets into the reader and couldn't get in. It took a steward to point out I was going into the wrong turnstile. In fact my daughter went through the turnstile I should have gone through so I had to move two turnstiles down to go though the one she opened but didn't use.

It is now clear the turnstiles on the east entrance to the NS are the opposite way round to the west side so you need to have your ST in your right hand in North west entrance and left hand in the North east entrance.

Wouldn’t it have been easier to ask the person whose ticket it is rather than alert the club?
They’ll now spend the next 24 hours trying to work out who you are and whose ticket you’ve got so they can ban you both!

Don't do what I did, first time I borrowed a season ticket I was frantically waving it under the scanner wondering why it wasn't working, until the steward pointed out I was waving it under the scanner of the other turnstile. *facepalm*

The season ticket goes under the scanner, the same as paper tickets... the bit above is to house the lights to tell the attending steward what type of ticket you are using...









...and to shine the black light on your hand as it holds the ticket and to show up the normally invisible secret tattoo all STH are required to have.

Dont forget to nosh off the steward who pats you down or you wont get your season ticket reward points.

Also look at the arrows on the scanner it will tell you what gate to go through.
