Thought I'd try it anyway with a +1 last weekend and was expecting to be turned away. Showed my BA Gold card, details noted down and both of us admitted for entry (both travelling in Y).
That's why you are best to use the FT guide in the Dashboard, on the whole. I make a point of trying to keep it up to date on my travels, as do other FTers. It is the best source overall. ALC and VLC are duly in there, IBZ is not.
