Digital ticket Barnsley

Re: Digital ticket Barnsley

I just followed these instructions and managed it. No idea if it'll work though.

I'm presuming that you stick the end of your phone screen that has the barcode on it in the scanner that usually takes your season ticket. Am I right - if so seems a bit odd that not that long ago we were told to wipe down our shopping and letters, but now encouraged to stick out phone in a orifice that may have had 1000 other phones shoved in before.

Use your hand gel after taking it out.

Your phone like your money is probably more filthy than covid itself.

When you see some of our fans it's hard to blame them

Can I vote this my post of the year. Thanks Mike.

They might have different scanners now, I went to the Wales Albania game with my QR code and I can't remember putting my phone in anywhere.


Although to be fair it was the first football match I'd been to with my mates for about a year so I wouldn't take any of this as gospel

I went to the Southampton friendly with a ticket on my phone. I had to insert the phone where I would normally insert my season ticket card.

Ccfcwelshlad mentioned a contactless method.. Just open the ticket on the phone and tap like you would to pay for goods.

Didn't read further in the thread to see if it was a wind up or not, incase I missed the whoosh.

I'd believe this guy over me lads.

On a positive note it'll make the entry to the ground a bit more exciting, it'll be like that game Operation just you have to try and get the phone in and out without touching the sides

On the turnstile ticket facia, just above the slot where you insert a ticket, there's a large illuminated "Bluetooth" symbol, just tap and go as with GPAY etc.

No Whoosh!

Dependent on how you downloaded your ticket you may end up with a barcode.. if so you put phone in the reader and scan as you would for a paper ticket. If using NFC then you just tap the phone to the reader instead. Each NFC ticket on google pay, has a barcode also if you press show code; though I'm sure club will encourage using the tap and go option as it should be quicker for people to use.

Just don't hand your phone to one of the stewards as they might tear the bottom of it off and hand it back to you.

Excellent.

So taking away human error, the system shouldn't really have any hold ups and won't see a backlog of queues like its been suggested by some technophobes.

As I said above, unless counting for human error I can't see how there would be any issues when ALL you have to do is scan a barcode (same as paper ticket or card people will be familiar with it) or tap the NFC like using contactless payment (people will be familiar with)

Re: Digital ticket Barnsley

Testing the water for the future, not now this instant.

They've used excuse after excuse,, these past weeks, not to open the ticket office and make life easier for their CUSTOMERS.

It's our money, they should be open like every other business

They are open. As can be seen by the fact tickets are being sold and bought. They have also been hit hard by covid. Why employ a team in a ticket office that could, at any moment, become inactive because the pandemic has taken a turn for the worse?

The majority of people have been buying tickets online/remotely for years anyway. It's only Mr and Mrs Triceratops of 4 Bedrock Avenue who need to do this physically and in person.

It's the way things are heading. It's a cheaper and more effective way to handle things. It is completely crazy to employ people who are sat doing very little for all bar the odd big game.
