Sorry to say @MidgeLawrie but the only way to get a new code for the game is by purchasing a new copy of the game. When you purchase second hand there is no guarantee that the code will be valid and unused and if it is used then it is not possible to get a code in its place.

@MidgeLawrie check this official authorized retailers list

 

You can see under Trusted retailers which are the stores where you can buy EA games without having any troubles. The digital era means that the codes are linked to the account where they were redeemed, so second hand copies won't be working on another account. See if you can get your money back, as second hand copies won't work on a different account. 

 

Also, the game is often in sales, at retail and in the digital stores, so you can buy it from the official stores. The official stores have really nice sales during Black Friday and Winter Holidays, so buying a first hand copy will be actually cheap. 

I do not work for EA and i am not associated with the company in any way. I am a player just like you, trying to help wherever i can.I will not answer to any unsolicited PM.
