The delays on Saturday were largely down to a lot of people turning up late and inexplicably without their e-tickets downloaded to the wallet. Hopefully this will not be the case on Sunday. I will be going early just in case.

Don't think it makes a difference Olly, I am on Android and my NFC is turned on and I can see my QR code, my mate is on Apple with NFC on and his QR code is visible if you go into the details and scroll down
If it’s a digital ticket he can transfer to anyone his contacts list on his safc account. Once the chosen game had gone it will automatically revert back to the season ticket holder. Info on the safc website.
This is all still a bit vague mind and don't really see any need for transferring it, certainly to a family member but I guess it makes sense as a one off. I'm assuming when its transferred that person will receive a ticket digitally and need to add it to their wallet. For example, there's probably nothing stopping me from adding my digital ticket to my brothers phone now and having it on mine. Will only allow one of us to use it I'd imagine (If not it will be bedlam on Sunday!) but it means he can go if I'm away.
Aye I noticed the info on forwarding was a bit vague. Few times last season one of us couldn’t go for whatever reason so obviously we’d just give one another our season card to use. From the looks of the info on the FAQ’s you just forward the ticket on eTicketing and they can download it for that one game only, but I’ve no idea if it’s an instant transferral or a request that needs authorising.
Daz I am sure I read, that a ticket can only be operable on one phone at a time, so if you did add it to your brothers phone it wouldn't work on yours. *Edit* I can't find what I read but this is what it says in the FAQ's on SAFC.com "More than one digital ticket can be loaded to one smart device (smartphone or smartwatch), although each digital ticket can only be loaded once."
on apple you can sync wallet for phone to watch got season ticket on both i used watch for Mallorca game worked great
I am on android Dave and know nothing about apple, but your phone and watch will be the same account won't they? I think it must mean that you can't send it to another device which is on a different account.
