Season Tickets - 2023/24

Just got back from holiday and not had chance to scroll through the thread .
My ticket has not yet appeared in my Wallet app . The last email I had said it would go in automatically? Anyone else still waiting ?? Or should it be in?

Ignore . I’ve managed to refresh my seasoncard ticket from last year under expired passes and it’s updated

I'm on an Android with NFC and have never not had to scan the QR code
I swapped from Android to Apple at the beginning of 21/22 and have never had a problem using NFC since, but before that always had to scan the QR. So it must have been the phone and probably down to the strength of the NFC signal the Android phone was emitting. I’m going to guess that Apple is consistent technology across all its models and most likely used for testing such things, whereas Android is a mix of manufacturers and tech so much harder to test compatibility.

I have just moved to a Pixel 6a, so will scan against Newcastle in the hope it will work. I miss the old card, tap and go, it just worked, but can see why we moved to mobile based tickets
 
With the NFC thing do you have to open your Google Wallet and select the ticket? Or are you meant to just be able to scan the phone from the home screen? As others have said I've always used the barcode.

I'm on android, I know my NFC works as I did a test purchase on my linked card but it never works at City....now I just use the barcode and don't bother turning it on.

Works fine every time, when I was trying NFC had to get the stewards to let me in.

Open your wallet, select the ticket and point the phone about three inches from the scanner with the screen facing towards you. Don't wave it about and it will scan in a second or so.

Always works for me on a mid range Xiaomi Android phone.
 
What’s NFC? Only because I’m nosy. My SC is in my wallet but I just wondered. :-)

It's meant to be a contactless payment. I've never used it on my phone although it's a Samsung and is supposed to have it. I have used it on my Garmin watch before. Presumably the device should just let you in when placed near the scanner when used as a ticket. I've always had to use the barcode though. I'm trying to establish whether you'd have to go into your wallet on your phone anyway for it to work or it would work from the lock screen though. If you have to go on your phone and select the wallet anyway there's not much benefit of having it over scanning the barcode.
