They sent a email with the link and it downloads it straight to the wallet app that should already be installed.Can anyone who went to the last game of the season confirm what app you needed on an Iphone to display your ticket please?
Getting the ticket wasn't a problem. The issue arose when trying to get it read at the turnstile.

I know a senior steward and was talking about the chaos at the Everton game, apparently the 'trial' of digital tickets via mobile phone and the NFC readers was a success??? He even said it will be a nightmare. And there is no plan to upgrade the turnstiles, that are clearly designed for cards, not mobile phones...I just don’t understand the problem with issuing cards. They do not to to send a new one each year, they just need to reactivate the previous one. I have a season card for Edinburgh Speedway and they haven’t issued me a new card in four or five years. If you renew that reactivate, if not they don’t. All very simple and no costs incurred. It works exactly the same with Hibernian.
Unless they have improved the gate scanner system dramatically since the Everton match, it will be a bloody shambles with a full crowd trying to get in using phones.

The technology behind the cards is old tech and the system has to be updated now. I think they could have gone with an updated plastic card solution but that won't have the longevity of going with the mobile phone solution.I just don’t understand the problem with issuing cards.

Hi there. Just the usual mancity@mancity.comWhich email address did you send your request to if you don't mind me asking please pal?
I think that is the route that I am going to take.
Got a reply from that address from someone called Lucy. Hope you have the same result

Cheers pal. Thanks for the info.Hi there. Just the usual mancity@mancity.com

I will email them later on this evening.
Hopefully I will get an answer back from them tomorrow morning.
I think a seasoncard dropping thru the letterbox this close season will be the modern day equivalent of a letter from Littlewoods in the day ( f o c ) guilty as charged your honourI think if you want a card you can insist on one.
Case by case basis my arse.
I phoned up and told them I required a card simple as that,
No reason why was asked or would have been given!
Send the card out, end of!

I had it all worked out what I was going to say. Along the lines of I don't have a smartphone, or a printer at home and I'm not very confident with new technology; can I have a card please?What did you say?
Didn't Need any of that, the guy just took my supporter number, postcode and date of birth and ordered me a card. Did the same for my brother too, again just took the details, no questions asked.
Also straight through on the phone, no waiting.

I will settle for technology that actually works rather than repeat the fiasco of the Everton match. My iPhone X was used to try and gain admission and after numerous failed attempts at two different turnstiles the steward appeared to wave me through.The technology behind the cards is old tech and the system has to be updated now.
