    Overcharge legacy delivery routes to drive less willing users to the app for their tickets (assume they will have one).

    Far cheaper in the long run to send e-tickets to a mobile app from automated server side systems then pay someone to move paper around sending physical tickets to people, especially as they likely need to have a QR code on then anyway to get through the turnstile.

    Plus the QR code on the app can be made more secure by rotating it every few minutes so can't copy it etc

    It's all paper tickets for their game here, a lot of people on their forum are moaning that we've not provided digital.

    Away tickets can't be done digitally can they?

    Yeah loads of clubs do them. Presumably just requires some integration between the club apps but we've obviously not done that yet.

    Suspect this will be the last season of paper away tickets which I find extremely sad.

    I assumed most clubs have a ticket app now and also assumed that wrexham's owners would have done one asap and as I've never been an away fan just assumed the other clubs ticket app could be provisioned the ticket from us in some way.

    lots of assumptions in there and you know what Samuel L Jackson has to say on that matter....

    Nah you're right in your assumptions. It's just that Saints haven't integrated with other clubs yet.

    Shocking to see that there ate still basket case clubs around like Sheffield Wednesday and Morecambe.
