I agree with what you say about the forgeries , however my 15 year old son was going to go with his friend ( my son has no passport, obviously no driving licence and has no bank cards ), never normally a problem him using my tickets, sadly we have different surnames too ( like so many families do nowadays ) so looks like a no go this time for him.

Can you not lend him some id of yours for the evening?

Secondly, you must bring a form of ID of the ticket holder. A driving licence, credit card, passport are all fine

It seems to read that the ticket holders id could be taken by whoever is going?

Check out Pooches very helpful post on the previous page (post 2640) re changing the name!
Never done it myself yet - but I often get tickets for DD at uni, so I may need to practice this myself.

Really it shouldn't be too hard to have a guest list at these things so that no forgeries can be used!

Well I am sure they do have lists - the last few times i have been they have glanced at a sheet on the lectern thing.
Plus they actually collect the sheets in now.

Years ago ( Old Baggie showing her age now;)) they never took the sheet off you - just glanced at it and let you through,
Then they changed to ripping it in half, and keeping one half and handing other half back.
Then they started taking the sheet off you.
Now they do have a list I think.

But I suppose instead of just checking if T.O Bag is on the list, they may be checking it off tomorrow night, so 3 sets of people do not get in, all with tickets in the name of T.O. Bag.

The bar code scanning is of high importance tomorrow too

If someone on here cancelled a ticket for Glasgow - thank you!

Have been trying daily (more than once) since they were released and couldn't get just the one ticket I wanted for myself but have managed to get one this evening.

Now just have to hope that taking along hubby's ID with my own will work as he is the registered Sky person and the ticket is in his name as I can't find the bit in the email to change the name.

Thanks for the help ( plus a kindly email telling me how to do it:) ) I have managed to change the name on the ticket. Yes he does have ID but not with the same surname as mine that is why I was concerned he may get turned away, i thought it may look odd turning up with ticket and bank card in my name but his ID in his name. I may have been being over cautious but didnt want him to have a wasted journey.

I have looked at the tickets for horrible bosses and it has no mention on the email on that one that names must match and ID etc .


EDIT I did try and send a Thank you email to the person who sent me the details on how to change the name however it did say the recipient couldnt recive messages. I didnt want you to think your help wasnt appreciated as it was, so THANKS

Could I be really cheeky shimmeringsky and ask you how to change the name. Although H and I have the same surname I really don't want to get stuck with some jobsworth tomorrow who won't let me in because the tickets are in the wrong name.

You need to go into your husbands Sky account to change the name, then resend ticket by clicking on Retrieve.
