Looks like the club are going to be trialling print at home tickets in the coming weeks.

If it helps prevent the farce that happened at the Juventus game then it has to be a good thing.
 
Having done this recently for hiring a car abroad, long term car parking and several flights, it's about time.

They have to make this work.
 
I'd rather they just update a single contactless card properly, I mean, how hard can it be to have 1 ticket that works?

All that will happen is a bunch of people will end up trying to scan A4 pieces of paper into the turnstile and there be more chaos, or your barcode on it will only work for Aberdeen v Dundee Utd.
 
I'm not feeling well,so my heads not in gear,but I don't understand what this means ?

Please explain someone

Instead of queueing up at the ticket office you could print off your ticket at home. Sunderland do it already
 
Oh right,bloody hell that is a recipe for disaster, cheers Damocles

If the ticket has big lettering on it saying YOU MUST CARRY A VALID FORM OF ID WITH THIS TICKET LINKED TO THE SUPPORTER NUMBER then it might save some time and you'd imagine people buying from touts would see that and question it.
 
One thing that worries me with this is the touts who will print off 50 copies and pass em on. Happens a lot at concerts so bound to affect football too.

Only the first one to try will get in, of course. The paper tickets are simplicity itself to copy these days so I'm Not sure that would be a valid reason not to do it. Even season cards can be passed back through the railings and sold on.
 
Everton have a Q&A on it here:

The print at home service allows fans to buy their tickets to Everton home games online, print the ticket at home and bring it to the gem to gain access via the turnstiles.

The service is usually switched on a few days before each game.

The information below is aimed at making the print at home process as easy as possible.

) Your ticket will be loaded onto your season-card as normal and you should have received an email to confirm your purchase without any ticket attachments.


  • Do remember to check your email address is correct, valid and current prior to purchase. You can do this by visiting the ‘update details’ section of e-ticketing.
  • Don’t change your registered email address after you have purchased your tickets as the tickets will not be sent to this email address.
  • Do protect your ticket as you would any other ticket. Keep it dry and print on A4 white paper.
  • Don’t shrink your ticket, print on colour paper or damage/deface the barcode.
  • Do only print your ticket once.
  • Don’t photocopy your ticket if you have the original, the ticket can only be scanned once and multiple entries will not be permitted.
 
Why not just have them on your smartphone to scan in. Like you do with boarding passes these days

I haven't got a smart phone. No reason why printed tickets shouldn't work. I can fly all over the world with one I should be able to get in the stadium with one.
 
Seems like a backward step. I'm sure there were no paper tickers in the first seasons at CoMS even for away fans.
