Match day operations? Access issues? Why don't they come out and say the 'much lauded computerised mobile ticketing system' we thought was gonna be the fans' dream has turned into a fuckin' nightmare?
Just looked up Fortress GB at Companies House. It's classed as a small company, which turned over £7m in its last published accounts, losing just over £1m. Average of 57 employees. Yet they've seemingly got a contract for installing this at PL stadiums (and maybe EFL ones as well). Seem to be financially sound though.
They're a UK company, with an American office in Arlington, Virginia. Funnily enough I've walked past the building their US office is in a few times. They've got an impressive client list but you'd think they'd turnover more than £7m. And their ultimate holding company (called Andoma) is registered in the Cayman Islands. So nothing dodgy there then.
Oh, and most of the directors appear to be Israeli, so there's no way I'm doing anything on my phone. ;-)
If that report from RAWK is true and this has been mandated by the PL from 2022/23 then there was no reason to introduce this for everyone this season. They could have used a subset of fans to iron out any issues.
Now here's the interesting bit, which I took off their LinkedIn page:

"Our platform enables fans to interact with their team, using a
contactless membership card or their mobile device..."
So we could have had cards.
