That’s it, problem solved.

If this is the right thread for a whinge at the club , here's my ten penneth found out my 5g , 2 year old Samsung does not have NFC so ive had to buy an old shitter of a phone for £50 for matchdays that does have NFC , just another cost for wanting to attend matches.
Do the club consider for one minute their supporters financial situation post pandemic and in the middle of a recession, some pencil neck accoutant with his iphone13 makes a sales pitch to the club and calculates the matchday net spend for each supporter will now net another 0.32% profit.
You can bet your bottom dolllar the f*cker who brought in mobile ticketing has never paid to watch a game in his life.
Anyway all set for the Burnley game with a shit £50 NFC connected phone which saves me waiting 2 hours on the phone to customer services.
We better batter those six fingered f*ckers on Saturday after my investment in technology :)

Very, very definitely a whoosh then! Oh my goodness what a whoosh! Shows how my brain works, the only ground for me is the football ground! :-) :-)



p.s. I have now crawled under a duvet in embarrassment! Red faced or what!?
In my defence I’m too near that scenario and probably subconsciously block it out of my mind!

No need to use an NFC enabled phone to get in the ground.
I have a 12 month old Nokia 2.4 that does not have NFC technology.
I just open the barcode from my Google wallet and put it into the card slot at the turnstile.
In fact yesterday I ordered my e ticket for the Brugge game and the email has instructions on how to use the barcode to gain entry to the ground.
No mention at all of NFC in the entire email!!
 
That's it, i'm done with City as well.
I've only ever attended one match and at that match they announced they had run out of chips at half time.
It severely affected my view of City and how they treat the match day fan. This uncaring attitude is just not on.
Since i know they won't reach out to me, i have no choice but to vote with my feet.

However, if anybody at City would like to reach out to me with a food voucher for half time, i may revisit this thread and announce that i will be back at the next game.
DON'T expect me to explain what has happened, as i will no longer need your support and sympathy etc..

Huh, you think you had it bad. On my one and only visit to the etihad I had to buy a ticket. I was disgusted, yes I saw us win 5 nil but that is not the point
. Why should I have to pay ? I felt I had to take a stand and have not paid since.

If City read this and offer me a free ticket (a season one would be nice) then I will definitely go back......... but I certainly won't explain anything to you lot.
 
I recently took my family to watch City play Southampton.
Not only did City not win, there were no goals. No goals!

I feel the price I had to pay did not represent value for money and I am shocked that City have done nothing to compensate me.
I already have a season ticket but maybe a free half time pie would be a suitable gesture from the club as compensation.

Also, on another occasion I wore shorts to the game and it was absolutely freezing in SS3! City should do something about the dress code so that I can avoid cold knees in future.

Well the £50 i was going to spend on a NFC phone is now not neccesary (i was winning on ebay but have bowed to your greater knowleadge) ordered and paid for my Burnley ticket and apparently i will get a notification/link before the game. Although what you have stated contradicts what the MCFC website states where they state access will not work with a mobile phone not equipped with NFC
Will find out on Saturday and use the barcode or QR code on my due e-mail/notification as you suggested , thanks

I used my wife's phone for the Everton game(last season) ,the CL Final at the CFA stadium and the Norwich game this season.
Used NFC for the 1st 2 games but it was slow and took a few times to get it to work.
So used barcode for the Norwich game and realised that I didn't need an NFC phone.
Have used my own non NFC each time afterwards and had no problems at all.
And yes,you are right, the original advice to have an NFC enabled phone completely contradicts the latest advice on the e-ticket email.

There seems to be plenty of options on offer...

Its not something you can add to your mobile , its not an app , and you cannot enable NFC if your phone doesnt have the NFC spec. , hopefully the barcode or QR code from the e-mail will work, don't know why the club just dont let you print at home , its my printer and paper , it doesnt cost them anything.

My wife's new phone hasn't got NFC, she's got my adult lads ticket for the game on Saturday on it and we're also hoping the barcode will suffice for her.

Usually arrive early for a few scoops in Summerbee's , but looks like i will be enjoying the refereshments inside the ground on Saturday, if there is a problem there appears to be plenty of personnel helping at the turnstiles , but i could do without the hassle .Pining for the days of the Kippax walking up well oiled at ten to three and paying two shillings and sixpence at the turnstile , pissing in the open air bogs (no sinks in those days :) in the pouring rain and suffering a flat pint of Greenalls and a salmonella hotdog.
We've come along way in 60 years , can't see rickets making a comeback
