Free Wifi at the breeze block, on matchdays (especially), would be helpful with digital tickets etc Idve though.... cant see the slum landlord covering any cost towards it though.... if wifi signal is weak/non exsitant (as it often is at the breeze block) both individual devises and the clubs 'reader' machines kinda need wifi to operate ads they ought to I'dve thought?

You won’t need to use WiFi. The ticket will be on your phone. Actually, the existing print at home tickets can be scanned from your phone currently, even though the folk on the turnstiles say it won’t work. It actually does.

aha cheers @makv .... Im a bit of a luddite when it comes to evolving technology.

I wont be 'using' digital ticketing myself ( phone wont be up to it!), besides I go to the ticket office and buy my matchday tickets in person... and I pay in cash :sneaky:
 
Maybe the money from digital tickets will be used to sign some holographic players. After all we seem to be struggling to sign real ones

The ticket scanner are pre-loaded with the data (which is why you can't buy print-on-demand tickets late on now).
The digital tickets are pre-stored in either Google Pay or Apple Wallet apps in the respective Android or iOS devices.
No local network required.

Some people would forget there phones
I think a big step forward would be for ST holders when they buy a ticket for a non ST covered game just make their ST valid for that game. I know less than nothing about computers but say when I bought a ticket for the League Cup match vs Posh instead of printing off a ticket just press a button or 2 and my ST is valid.
 
Can anyone confirm that a digital ticket is accepted? I remembered to print off a ticket for last night's cup game but if we can't get additional purchases added to out STs I would like to use Google Pay. I can see the ticket there but I fear that showing the QR code to the turnstile guys would be met with blank stares! I have in the past forgotten to bring printouts with me but I'll always have my phone by my side (I start to tremble if it's more than 4 feet away :-)

Ditto. Just make sure you’ve good your screen brightness turned right up when they go to scan it. A lot of scanners struggle if your screen contrast is too low.

This is very true. The loyalty card from Nectar has just been updated with a digital version and, initially, had the same problem. The app has now updated with an automatic increase in brightness for the barcode.
Technology, not always all that it's cracked up to be! :LOL:
 
Talking technology, my wife introduced me to a new thing called contactless payment where you put a card on a screen and lights come up to say transaction is ok. The wonderful thing is she told me anything bought that way is free so me being smart I told her to buy as much as she can through this method. For every ones benefit I have just asked her whose system this is. Evidently some company called Gull Ibletwat. Must be German.
