Seasoncard - 2021/22

I love the way it describes the ‘successful’ trial of mobile ticketing for the Everton match.

It was a bloody shambles. I had about 15 attempts to scan in using my phone before being sent towards another gate with a very long queue. I declined this and tried at another turnstile with no more success before a steward appeared to override the system and let me in.

If there were problems with very low numbers at the Everton match, it will be far worse with higher attendances next season.
The only way it will work will be if they widen the number of devices you can download the ticket onto. To restrict it just to Iphones or the most modern android phones was ridiculous. Lots of new phones are not compatible with I Wallet or Google Pay. We got into the Everton match even though neither of the phones worked when we tried to scan in. It was a total shambles and the Stewards just opened the turnstile gates.

I have a fairly modern iPhone X but the thing would still not scan. My ticket was stored in the Apple Wallet.

I was nothing to do with having an obsolete phone, it was the technology that did not work.

There appeared to be loads of people having the same problems as me.
 
I enjoyed waving my phone at the scanner for 5 minutes while the queues got bigger, and the 5 stewards looking baffled, adds to 'the tension of whether you will get in or not
 
So is the situation going to be, you could pay for a season ticket (in my case I pay up front) but you still mat not be able to go to every game?

Yes. I pay upfront too and although I want to go to every home league game I'd still be happy to go to as many as possible if that is the situation.

I don't expect that as the earliest we'd have a home game is the middle of August and a lot will change by then.

If restrictions remain (or are brought back in), yes.

Just as with 19/20 Pro rata refunds but with the added ballots of 20/21 if capacities reduce.
 
BREAKING NEWS:
Manchester City announce revolutionary new 'cash only' turnstile for forthcoming Premier League season. A club official stated that "In an age of discrimination and the exclusion of certain elements of society, we want to include everyone. If you are old, poor or simply not tech savvy, just turn up at the City gate with a fiver and we'll let you in." Since the announcement #Citygate has been trending on social media with other major clubs now monitoring closely.

Yep. I paid for an Everton ticket, spent in excess of 10 hours in phone queues to Supporter Services because my phone is not compatible. Was promised a print at home ticket, it never came, so I wasn’t able to go. And to date no refund of the £35 I was charged. Obviously I won’t now be renewing season card, so mission accomplished, another legacy fan culled.

its my first year in the adult age bracket. whats the process for getting a value gold ticket? i cant justify paying double what i paid at 20
I had one of these for the 19/20 season. I was still living in Canada and knew I wouldn’t get to many games so didn’t want to pay £700+

Anyway I just called the ticket office and explained my situation and they gave me a value gold ticket. I think it was £300.


As others have said you can’t choose your seat. I got lucky, Colin Bell stand, way up in the third tier but right on the half way line.

Good luck

This is the problem mate I thought that but that’s why I phoned today just to make sure and the lady told me I must contact the club by any of the three options I posted .
Don’t want to add anymore confusion but just relaying what customer services told me.
I’ll be ringing at some point just make sure I don’t lose my card.

I think I might take a drive to the stadium tomorrow. I think the phone lines will be a little busy.
 
I wonder if there is a sizeable uptake of people wanting to defer, whether the club would offer a 1 year season ticket?
As in, you get the ticket for 1 year but then there is no option to renew it unless the person whose seat you have doesn't want it back.
