Have to have new ones (Why??) ...

Is that right??
Rip-off if we can't avoid it.

Unfortunately that’s the way most things are going , I’m sure in the next few years you will have a digital wallet for everything from driving licence , passport , medical records , banking documents etc etc

Cashless transactions will also become the norm although I assume digital transactions from the top bods will “go missing “ :hehe:

Personally I’ve no problem with it as most data is cloud based held anyway and easily retrievable (unless it’s government wants app messaging)

There is an app called Vicarda, they use it on the railway now so you don't even have to have your competence card on your person, it can be scanned off your phone. It's the way the world is going.

Almost everything Digital is is backed up to cloud storage, so it's easier to retrieve lost data ,probably better for people in the long term. I’ve no idea who owns the Cloud storage system though but it isn’t me or you.

Tangentially related: I went into two shops this weekend to get a price to adjust some curtains.

Neither shop took card payments; cash only.

I merrily walked to the cash machine to withdraw some lovely crisp bank notes - something I haven't done for so long.

Imho its there to stop people from getting physical cards that they can pass on to someone else if they cant make the game. Theyd much rather you have a non transferrable digital ticket.

If that is the aim of the club, then they have just eliminated a lot of season ticket holders.

Fans who live away and can’t make night games, fans who work shifts, fans who are not in the best of health, might all not renew as they now cannot pass on their ticket.
Should imagine there are loads of other reasons as well.

Technology would have been passable if we were in the premier and getting crowds of 25/30,000 .

14,000 in the championship, bad idea

Digital cards are transferable. If you delete it from your wallet then you can forward it to someone else to add to their wallet. After the someone else has used it reverse the process to get it back on your phone. The transfer is done from the ticketing website.

Basically a rip off and a BS excuse - why do i need to have a photo on my season ticket ? are they scared I may give my ticket to a mate if I cant make a game perhaps ?

What was the real technical reason they cant use the existing tickets ? - I dont believe there is a bonafide tech reason - other than to add £15 to the price.

Tickets on a phone - is that just the QR code or is the ticket tied to the phone ?
