 If your name isn't on the tickets you can give them away.
 I won tickets to see oasis way back when and gave them to a friend as i had knee surgery

Thank you - my name is on the ticket but would they be asked to prove ID on the door?

 Yes they will probably be asked for ID. If its your name on the tickets the T&C probably say they are non transferable

Thank you, I've looked on the IHEx site's FAQs and they say the tickets are transferable - interesting ....

I saw, This Ticket cannot be exchanged, transferred, or resold for commercial gain. https://www.idealhomeshow.co.uk/terms-conditions

Hi Sarah, thank you for the link; I just read it and it mentions "cannot be transferred ..... for commercial gain". Of course, I'm not transferring it for "commercial gain" but I wonder if there is a loop hole here? I'd hate for my rellies to turn up on the day, only to be turned away, it looks like the tickets will be wasted sadly....... . 😥

Not a loophole, it doesn’t say cannot be transferred for commercial gain…. Because of the commas I read it as 

Cannot be exchanged 
cannot be transferred 
cannot be resold for commercial gain
