Digital season tickets from this season

Are they strictly NFC only or QR code as an option at Leeds?

 

need NFC

Interesting. So they don't have a backup in case the nfc part of the scanner breaks.

 

Call me cynical but the Leeds wording on their communications is very verybsimilar to ours.

Did you know Leeds changed to digital tickets as part of the clubs sustainability drive to reduce paper and plastic use

 

Did they back track and give out cards to those who needed them as well?

 

I've asked the question about qr on the Leeds board

 

yes well both using skidata and exact same system

 

Good that we saved some money and pretty much ripped off their communications. Every little helps

 

SKIDATA’s eTicketing solution integrates QR codes and NFC tickets directly into the Apple and Google wallets that many stadium visitors have on their smartphones anyway. No additional app is necessary.

Marvellous isn't it.

 

the main reason us and Leeds are pushing the NFC is it more secure and cant be copied like qr codes can but it good we got qr code too for backup incase the NFC goes down and those without smartphone get a card

i totally get why they pushing the NFC but they got to make sure no one is excluded for going to games

 

The bit in bold is the most important thing

 

2019/20 season tickets on sale?

 

The transferring of tickets appears to be easy, that's definitely a bonus of the system

 

that is another reason for going digital can legally share ticket when can't go

 

Would have liked to see a bit more on how you change a kids ticket to adult as part of the process in the video. That looks like an old video of how to add someone to your network. Do you not need to be able to manage/assign tickets on their behalf as part of the process? If so, there are a few more steps to it than what's in that video.

 

There are lots of positives, its just been handled really badly, the treatment of those fans that need a physical card being the worst.

I'm sure that was driven by a mixture of wanting to hit targets of digital take ups and poorly thought out plans

 

I don't think you have to assign or manage, they just have to be in your network.

 

yes the club have been absolutely abysmal on handling it
