Ticket Upgrade

Post by kezclaret » Sun Jul 23, 2023 3:54 pm

Does anybody know how much it cost to upgrade a junior ticket to an adult ticket?

It's the cost of an adult match day ticket - 1/19th of the junior ticket + £5 admin charge.

I've seen it where it's been more expensive than actually buying a ticket.

Probably the cost of an adult ticket minus the cost of a junior ticket :roll:

Nothing like that I'm afraid - as per my post above, it's less 1/19th of the junior season ticket and then another £5 is taken as an admin charge.

Example, if in Longside Upper for a Cat A game


You'd pay £60 plus £5 admin which is £65 but would then get £6 knocked off which is a nineteenth of a kids season ticket in there. So you would pay £59.

Not necessarily true.

I upgraded an U18 ticket to an adult and it cost me full price. The ticket office were less than helpful (not often I can say that) but in this instance they were utterly diabolical in handling the situation as well as a follow up email.

Hoping it’s easier/cheaper to upgrade if necessary next season - otherwise I might just risk using the U18 ticket for an adult.

Apologies......I assumed the question was in relation to a season ticket upgrade. I have tried to upgrade a junior ticket to a full adult ticket before and any saving was pointless but at least I was guaranteed the seat that I wanted. I believe most folk don't bother upgrading individual match tickets these days and just get in as a junior.

I'm not surprised they do given the charges for upgrading

if your buying a kids ticket off someone in the first place it becomes very costly.

I have 2x adult junior season tickets that cannot be used for the City game so looking at upgrading them to adult tickets for friends is why I’m asking thanks all
