1874robbo Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 The hibs turnstiles with the self scanning barcode seem to be quite a good idea but I was thinking yesterday that surely it's open to abuse What was there to stop an adult going in with a kids ticket apart from a steward at the other side who I assume was only there incase the turnstile got jammed or am I missing something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3fingersreid Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Does it not make a different noise when concession tickets scan? Never noticed that when I went in after my daughters what about a different coloured light or something ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poultry Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 The gent in front of me got stuck, and he became a little panic t. once these turnstiles start to rotate they can't reverse. the stewards and police had to step in. everyone that was in that line had to use another one.

joe.gausden Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 It is usually a different coloured light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambof3tornado Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Was a very efficient way to enter a stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winston Ingram Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Surely defeats the object when you need a steward standing at each scanner anyway?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Currahee! Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Quite a few people couldn't get in. The problem was they weren't waiting for the person in front was through. A little patience was required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the general Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 big queues just prior to ko luckily the stewards had the gumption to allow people with lower tier tickets to use any of the upper turnstyles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One steward per 2 scanners. 50% reduction in staffing costs allowing superstar signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Treasurer Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 No I get in sharp to avoid being held up at the turnstiles. Good for you.I turn up in plenty time to get in before KO if the queues move as they should. Yesterday for some reason that didn't happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo Hud316 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Turnstiles were a shambles I thought We arrived 15 mins before kick off (a first for a derby) and missed the first 5/10 mins of the game as the queue for turnstiles 5 & 6 was taking ages. Nobody mentioned we could use other turnstiles if that was the case p.s I know for a fact 2 adult hibby season ticket holders that have bought kids season tickets and have no issues getting in every home game, so definitely open to abuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graygo Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I had a concession ticket for the game at St Mirren last season and was told I could upgrade it at a wee booth outside the away stand, old guy in the booth told me not to bother upgrading and just go in with it.
