You’re a charmer aren’t you. An organisation that is paying a fair few employees thousands of pounds per week should get rid of the handful on a minimum wage because some one who used to go in occasionally caught them sitting around looking bored. In the big picture the wage these low earners are on is a drop in the ocean. I s’pose you’d sack most of the bus drivers because many buses go around nigh on empty.

‘Salt o’ the Earth’ bus organisers prefer cash, not card or phone payments…know what I mean ;)

Re: Digital ticket Barnsley
Has anyone been sent an email/text with the digital ticket yet?

Re: Digital ticket Barnsley
No. Neither has anything arrived after doing the pallava from the OP.

Re: Digital ticket Barnsley
I've downloaded my ticket onto my phone. Not quite sure how I did it but I did. And this morning I've downloaded my elderly mates ticket also onto my phone. I'm not sure how we get through the turnstile as its probably not the easiest thing to pass the phone back to outside I would have thought given the size of the turnstile arms.

As soon as it beeps, goes green whatever just pass it back then quickly proceed through the turnstiles.

It wouldn't - if you did ‘the pallava from the OP’ your ticket will be on your phone !

That’s what I meant. It said ‘sent’ in green but it ain’t on the wallet or text.

Re: Digital ticket Barnsley
Bit of a farce all this, but I'll give the club the benefit of the doubt with Covid.
I'd rather a proper ticket too, as this is a very symbolic event for many of us. I hate the digital only stuff.

I think you have done something wrong. You should be able to click on a link that shows you the actual ticket on your screen, not get a link sent to your phone.

After trying again I somehow discovered the ticket and managed to download. Not sure I can explain how but done now.

I never thought of it in that respect, but you are totally right.
After 18 months away, us technophobes have a bit of history to keep, in the shape of a paper ticket.
Anyone wanna buy one, I got 5

Re: Digital ticket Barnsley
My email has now come through and it says that the link only works on a smart phone. I have a smart phone, but my brother does not. I assume that I will have to have them both on my phone and set it up for him to go through and then get him to hand the phone back to me. Good job we use the same gate.

Re: Digital ticket Barnsley
Just received email with link and ticket downloaded. Easy!

Re: Digital ticket Barnsley
Here's a twist. Just had a call from the Club Ticket Office saying that both mine and my wife's season ticket seats will need to be moved across 10 seats as we're in a Red Zone and according to restrictions (so there are still some) we are too close to our players (we're front row Grandstand). The person was really apologetic and helpful and I was very pleased to be told before getting to the ground on Saturday. The same may well happen for the Millwall match apparently.
So, this means we have to collect our paper tickets on Saturday. I'm so pleased they called.
Just to add, they stressed that our seats are still ours and we can go back when restrictions are lifted.

Re: Digital ticket Barnsley
Just had link from club via e-mail and accessed ticket. Just remember that wifi is not good around the ground which could cause problems accessing the ticket at the gate. I have therefore screen shotted the ticket to my photos file, so I can open it even without any wifi service.
-
Re: Digital ticket Barnsley
Yep got mine too.
Just remember to turn your brightness up, my phone auto adjusts it and have had countless times where I've had to increase the screen brightness for the qr code or barcode to work.

I did exactly this for both friendlies. The screenshot worked fine for the Southampton game, but not initially for the Newport game. One of the stewards had to help out.....randomly by turning my phone back-to-front so that the picture was facing away from the scanner. It then worked, so I'll do the same for Saturday.

It might depend what type of digital ticket people have. If its a barcode it normally needs to be facing upwards inside the scanner opening to be read by the light but if its in apple wallet or similar, it can normally be read by holding against the outside lights on the scanner front.Think I will be getting there early !!

But if you're right and it is chaos (and I do think it'll be messy) and you leave the pub at 1440 then you'll be holding your paper tickets at the back of a queue of hundreds at 1500 :sherlock:

Re: Digital ticket Barnsley
Given that we probably have thousands of older fans, including myself, who are not particularly familiar with technology how the heck does the club expect us oldies to attend matches? What probably started off as a cost saving initiative will probably end up costing the club a fortune in lost revenue. For the first time in 63 years I can't envisage me attending any matches this season if the club issues only digital tickets? Does anyone know if this digital ticket fiasco is applicable for individual matches or is it only for season tickets?

I think it is only for the Barnsley game.
My email contains the following statement
Please note that this digital ticket is only for the Barnsley Game and you will have your season ticket cards posted to you, ready for the Millwall game on the 21st August.

Re: Digital ticket Barnsley
Okay, you may recall I decided to give the club a couple of days to make good on their promise to text or email me with ticket details. Well, my nerve cracked yesterday, and I went online, and eventually managed to secure my ticket, on my phone.
Today, I get an email and a text from the club. So, they did leave it a bit late, but they delivered. So well done, City. Cutting a bit fine, perhaps. Leaving a lot of people in the dark, definitely. But they got there in the end.

So just to be clear:
You're going to leave the pub at 1440, getting to the ground about 1450, if there's a massive queue of people in front of you struggling with the digital tickets you won't mind at all missing the start of the first game for 18 months and will happily queue behind them all laughing hysterically because you've got a paper ticket.
I've said it before and I'll say it again:

Sorry but thats a total over reaction to a very complicated situation for fans and the club. I don't think it is asking too much for fans to put themselves out a bit for the first couple of home games bearing in mind the Covid situation and the pressures the club has been under.

I don't queue at bars and I avoid queues at football grounds.
Wouldn't be surprised if the KO is delayed.

Re: Digital ticket Barnsley
Well I went on CCFC site, and tried to get a ticket sent by SMS to my phone....and nothing, no texts. So i now have to spend my Friday trying to contact the club.

KO won't be delayed, if people have managed to get the ticket on their phone they should manage the bit where they beep it against a scanner.
I really want to ask what your plan is if you do turn up at 1450 and there is a queue, being that you avoid them.
But I won't :hehe:

Not if he isn't in the queue. He could stand to one side and watch, then approach the turnstiles when the queue has gone.
