But there were massive queues at E for some reason, definitely missing the kick off.

Pre Covid used to be huge queues in front of most entrances.

And for me at turnstile E, I'll credit Dave's statue nearby with the improvement. ;-)NFC worked for me this time (android) South Stand

Me too. I use N1 for SS3 and got there a bit later than usual today at around 11.50. No problems at all.Faultless again for me. The queue for the east stand took about 5 minutes.

M1 for SS3 was terrible. I got in at 12.25 after 20 mins queueing and the queue behind me was nearly spilling out onto Ashton New Road. Loads getting in after KO.Me too. I use N1 for SS3 and got there a bit later than usual today at around 11.50. No problems at all.

Yeah I saw that at M1. Loads of people queuing there. Only about 30 in front of me. I was 15 mins earlier though so maybe that is why I didn’t have problems. It may have increased a bit after that.M1 for SS3 was terrible. I got in at 12.25 after 20 mins queueing and the queue behind me was nearly spilling out onto Ashton New Road.

M1 has been the worst entrance anywhere in the stadium since the third tier was built. A huge number of supporters need to use it to get in whereas M2 right next to it has minimal queues.
Before Covid the club had improved the situation but now we are back to how it was when it first opened. The problem isn't particularly mobile ticketing but the ponderous searches the stewards do.

Had a text from the club a few minutes go, timed at 22:51, advising me to "arrive no later than 11:30 am today to avoid delays entering the Etihad stadium" for the match against Arsenal.
Timely advice - NOT, and a good job I was there for 10:35 then.

Much better at entrance B this week. Last week neither NFC nor barcode worked, but this week I had a reserve non-NFC mobile with barcode ready and that scanned fine. No queues at 11:15.

I use M2 and it’s always baffled me for years how there’s never, ever a queue yet all the turnstiles next to it are always rammed. Personally I’m laughing but it is strange.
The ‘metal detector’ wavey stick things do absolutely nothing. Pure theatre.

Iphone didnt work until I turned it around so the screen faced the reader. Worked immediately after that.

I had dark fruit and thought it did have a bit of a weird chemically taste but not as bad as last week.
Odd. Not sure if they’re not cleaning the lines properly or if it’s from the paper cups. Can’t be good either way.

The NFC chip on an iPhone is at the back towards the top, so whatever made it work yesterday won’t have been down to you turning your phone around.

The metal detector thingy was beeping like fuck all over me yesterday (probably my belt) but the guy gave zero fucks and just waved me through.
What's the point?

I had my keys, phone, a charging cable and a battery pack in my pocket. And was wearing a belt. They waved me though.
