Swipe card entry systems?

re, swipe card season tickets

So what is there to stop an adult buying a childs season ticket and using it to go to every game?

This is based on what happens at Celtic Park.

Stewards stand at the other side of the turnstyles like at the airport X-ray scanners. If a concession ticket is swipped an orange light illuminates above the turnstyle. The stewards then look at the person who scanned and decide if they look like a concession and are free to challenge you.

I used to get stopped all the time with my student season ticket.

Same at Elland Road

I know that at Newcastle they still have people sitting there just like they did before the swipe card system was introduced, which is crazy as it totally defeats the point of this system. The reason I'm asking is because a colleague at work went to the Stadium of Light last Saturday and discovered that there seemed to be no check at all on who was actually using the swipe card.
