The plastic cards were not infallible. The data on them can become corrupted and cause them to fail leaving you stranded at the gate. That happened to me and a few other people I know over the years.Combustion engines are pretty straight forward, the biology of a horse less so.
No phone technology will ever be quicker than the season card or more reliable when it comes to getting in the match, and phones are more likely to die like an exhausted horse.
Google Pay can store tickets and passes as well as pay for things. It generates complex codes that get passed to and from the reader device that prove you have the authority to use the card being charged or the ticket/pass being used. So as you get to the turnstile, you will select the seasoncard in GPay and then the reader validates it. There's no financial transaction at this
Google Pay is something of a confusing name. The iPhone equivalent - Apple Wallet - makes more sense for those that aren’t too hot when it comes to technology (no offence). Think of it as a wallet for storing various payment cards, tickets and passes - cards that are used for paying for stuff are just one type of thing that’s in there.
Speaking as a legacy fan of sixty years plus, I don’t remember any time when clubs valued supporters. They were happy to take their money and provide the bare minimum by way of facilities, information or assistance.Nothing wrong with being a legacy fan. At least we can look back fondly on the pre-shitshow days, when clubs actually valued supporters.
Nobody has managed to crack it yet as far as I know. It’s one of the most secure forms of payment around.Can a payment be taken fraudulently from a phone if NFC remains enabled after it's been scanned and if so what is the range?
From memory their turnstiles currently use barcode scanning, maybe they don't have the NFC tech already installed?woman at work as just showed me her digital seasoncard for utd
she has an i phone,its just a email with a barcode,she says thats all they need to get it,no apple pay or google pay and nothing about nfc
I know what you're saying Norb, 'valued' is probably the wrong word, but at least we were all treated much the same by the club.Speaking as a legacy fan of sixty years plus, I don’t remember any time when clubs valued supporters.

Rag!!!From memory their turnstiles currently use barcode scanning, maybe they don't have the NFC tech already installed?
Ha ha, just numerous swamp derbies.Rag!!!
Never heard anyone mention this once or have an issue with these or paper tickets, or QR codes. The only time I have known cards to refuse entry is when the ticket office had made an error.The plastic cards were not infallible.

Quick question if anybody can help.
Turns out my dads mobile doesn’t have NFC, but I have my old iPhone he can use, question is would it need a SIM card to allow the nfc to work?
You have, I just mentioned it. Perhaps the 4 or 5 times I witnessed it within my own group over the last 12 years was just coincidence but I'd guess it was happening regularly myself. I only got in when it happened to me because my ten year old son was on the other side of the gate and I asked the steward who was going to look after him while I queued up at the ticket office to prove who I was (as per their instructions). I tried again at the next game and was once more faced with it not working, so I ordered a replacement. The steward said it happened sometimes. My brother on another occasion was less lucky and had to queue up at the ticket office to resolve his issue of a printed ticket not working, as was my mate when his card didn't work. He's also had the issue twice. For both my mate and me, this was halfway through seasons so the cards had been working but suddenly stopped. Sounds either like corrupted data storage or the circuit was broken inside the card but I guess it could be an access list error.Never heard anyone mention this once or have an issue with these or paper tickets, or QR codes.

Not sure how the f: number on the card get corrupted, that is what normally happens with a database when someone botches it.
Yet the one game with phone entry it was clear the majority were having issues
If anyone thinks the communication from City has been bad I've just been talking to a mate who's a season ticket holder at Rochdale. They are due to play Harrogate away on Saturday in their first match. As of yet they still don't know whether Harrogate are going to allow away fans in. 4 days before the game!
What do you mean... 'maybe'?Harrogate is rather a posh town. Maybe they think Dale fans are a bit beneath them. Lol.
