And just wait until September when you will also have to show proof of two jabs on your phone

It will be three minutes per person, and that's even if this shit tech works.

There isn't the bandwidth of staff to process 54,000 people individually.

I'm dreading going tbh. I wish I'd deferred for a year. It's bad enough getting in at the best of times without any of this hassle.

Same here I only went with it cause I couldn’t trust this club with any responsibility to keep my seat. And they are very adept at swerving accountability whenever they fuck us over

Tbh I reckon your vaccine QR code will be linked to your ticket on your phone.

I think this is the reason they are moving to online ticketing across the league.

Since a fair number will travel from Scotland and Wales to attend matches I will be surprised if the technology can cope with different QR codes.

I was in Somerset last week and loads of places required a scan of your ‘test and trace’ QR code. Ours from Scotland never worked so we had to fill them in manually.

The same will apply for those from Northern Ireland and if permitted from the Republic or even mainland Europe, assuming they are allowed to attend.
 
Does anybody know Danny Wilson contact details at City, got a big season ticket problem

I was dying to get back in there until I rung up requested a card and felt like I was asking for my ticket free or something.You wouldn't get this customer in any other field it's got disaster written all over it and it was bad enough at the Everton game.

Mr Crawford reply “Get with it,,or Get Gone”.You arrogant,ignorant,twat.I state my reasons why a phone is useless to me,and close on 70years of supporting my club,and told by an ignoramous to “Get Gone”.Very nice that,very nice.

I also said that I am sure the club will offer people like u an alternative way ?

my reference of “get gone “was a general one and not directed at u personally

sorry for any offence
 
Many comment to supporter services on twitter are asking any chance of an actual card and post on the subject has fans objecting to the change to phone/e tickets over a card.

City fucked it up not making this.year a voluntary roll out with the understanding next season it will be the norm, let people get used to the idea, and not have it shoved on them

I think this is the only way it will work, being realistic- once the club has proof of your vaccination status, then the ticketing could work as normal, provided you have a smart phone. Those who don’t will have more hassle at the ground, but if the majority do use the smart phone option then in theory it will make it easier for the process as a whole.

I would imagine that the government would agree to this (i.e. use of the vaccine QR code) as long as they have the ability to revoke people’s vaccination status if they are pinged by the COVID app.

The story from the Times this morning suggests that the PL voluntarily want to have the vaccination status rule in place for the start of the season, rather than in September, so we could hear something about this relatively soon.

Surely that cant be the case as it would exclude a large chunk of our u25s waiting for their second dose. I think rapid test results would surely have to be allowed till end September?

Excludes a lot more that that if August, the minimum wait between doses is 8 weeks a and then there is the lag for the antibodies. A lot of under 40s will be struggling. Where I was by the time I was being contacted there appointments were 2 months away and there was a 12 week gap needed, so more or less six months to get full anti-bodies.

Proof of a Lateral flow test will reportedly be allowed, and perhaps will be for the full season, but again I would imagine that the clubs will be banking on the idea of using the vaccination QR code for the bulk of supporters, in order to minimise the disruption when entering the ground.

With the best will in the world, I can’t see how even 30 or 40k people will be able to enter the ground in an orderly fashion if they have to physically show either proof of vaccination or a negative test. So some degree of automation is probably required.

The Times article suggests that the PL want the procedures in place for the start of the season rather than wait for the government to act, so plans are already well advanced by the looks of it.

The QR code changes very 28 days or so? I'm not that technical but think the easiest way (should it be made mandatory) would be for you to show proof to the club before they release your digital ticket? I understand it will be a digital season card rather than individual tickets every game so would only have to be done once.

You can get a "covid pass" QR code for a Negative test on the same app so I can't see it being an issue, just depends whether the gov go ahead with vaccination only from September onwards I guess.

If the QR code expires after 28 days then would we not have to keep sending the updated code every 28 days?
Sounds like a load of bollocks if you ask me .
They’ll probably ask us to fill out a quick survey also at the turnstile!

Yea I think the NHS app generates a new QR every 24 hours, i’d imagine you upload/scan it before the first game and that’s you for the season I’d imagine.

Probably be a nightmare first game with people not doing it etc, but after that should be forgotten about largely

Shouldn't have to do it every month. I think the fact it changes it more to do with international travel?

Season tickets holders should only have to do it once but no doubt City or the GOV will make it as difficult as possible.
