Protest v Wolves

Blink Identity started working with the club on facial recognition just as covid started. It's the next extention to stadium entry, and digital wallets will be history within 5 years or less.

Nope, he doesn't play, but loves the place.

Oxford is his actual first choice to do Economics but even A*AA is unlikely to get him a place even if he gets them, which he should, as Grammar schools seem to get less shots these days?

He has looked at LSE but we simply can't afford it and Warwick is fucking Coventry!!

His back up is Leeds or Sheffield, which would certainly solve him getting back for games every weekend, haha.

You don't have to mess with all that. It still automatically updates even if on other phones.

I keep them just in case they forget their phones or another problem.

As long as it only gets used once at the turnstile, it doesn't matter which device it is on.

Done that for a few years. Means if they can't make it, I can scan in anyone else who comes with me.

So my son works shifts. He usually makes about the half the games. Otherwise he transfers his season ticket to his brother. Are you saying his brother can have the season card on his phone as well? As long as it’s only used once.
 
At Asda they film you as you are scanning your shopping at the checkout. You can see yourself on the screen. I always make faces at the camera and stick two ingers up . I hate being filmed without my permission.

They'll be people along in a minute like Marv and Cheech saying "if you've got nothing to hide then what's the problem?"

Cameras go up on the turnstiles for anything other than safety, I'm done

We'll be bending over exposing the bar code on the back of our neck before long :)

And that isn't even a joke.

Exactly what I do Tolm.
It really isn't a big issue.

I do the same with my lads ticket when he can't make it to the games and I've not managed to pass it onto somebody. You get the odd funny look but who cares.

Correct. Doesn't need to transfer, just needs to trust him!

It's the card being utilised which it needs to recognise not the device.

It does seem an easy workaround but doesn't change the fact it shouldn't require workarounds, also, what if it becomes a facial recognition piece.....?

Then we're all fucked and City can stick their 1984 tragedy up their greedy arses!

Hopefully this thread doesn't give them the idea to close the workaround also.

Can't see how, must be loads of parents who are responsible for their children's card management and they don't bring their own/have smartphone?
 
Here's an idea. If the season ticket is not used then you pay an additional premium for next season.

If you are able to make sure it it used for all 19 games, whoever you give it to, you get a loyalty discount applied?

It would separate those who genuinely want to attend every game but have legitimate reasons, and want to ensure it still gets used.

As opposed to deeper pockets who just want to hog a seat for the bigger games?
 
Whenever I watch other games not including City on tv, I always see some empty seats, some grounds more than others. I see it at City but if im honest I don't think it's anywhere near as bad as being made out. Apart from maybe a couple of games like Leicester the other week when I couldn't give a friends ticket away for free so I put it on for resale with City and it still didn't sell I don't think its all that bad here. If City are expecting a 100% attendance at all 19 home games then I think there living in some fantasy dream land. I've had my season ticket since 1977, my wifes since 1989 and my 2 daughters since around 1999. My wife and I attend every home game and yet City still sent me emails this season saying I've missed a game. Dream on the dickheads at City pulling that stunt because we've only missed one home game in decades when one of my daughters got married. My daughters can't always make it, married, pregnant, working and so any game they can't attend we sell to friends and family for the game price a season ticket costs us and sometimes even less so its ourselves that lose out and never City.

I was asked last season by one of the first team players why our home crowd is a lot lot quieter than the away support. I just replied try attending years of football as a normal every day fan and the shit you have to put up with and you'll understand why generally home crowds are less vociferous. But it's not just football its creeping in everywhere throughout life under the guises of security, safety, its for your own protection and every part of life squeezes you further. Ive just flown to Italy and for the first time I've now weighed my own bag and put my own ticket on it. No interaction with another human being now gone like self checkouts. I honestly find almost everything in modern life sucks the fun out of it. People talk less, walk around staring at their phones all day, less and less interaction with each other and worse still their own children.

Don't do this don't do that, it's for you're own good. Oh just fuck off telling us all what to do! I've deviated I know but it all gets in my fucking nerves.

We need to STICK IT TO THE MAN as my wife says.

Great post. It's to reduce the number of SC holders and close the passing on of tickets for FV or less (ie. any method where they can't mark it up)
 
It will just end up with more empty seats and so you what..... I don't think the club are bothered in the slightest by that.

They say they are but they're not, it's a simple case of maximising profit for every single seat, every single week, using whatever methods they can.

My lad is off to university in September, and obviously doesn’t want to give up his ticket. Whether or not he’ll be able to make it back ten times a season on a student budget remains to be seen. This stinks from the club. They’re deliberately trying to oust out more and more season ticket holders.

Fuck me, time flies. Well played Ric and good luck to your lad.
