I thought all this downloading bollocks onto phones, mobile tickets was a money saver - no prestigious tin stuffed with goodies and a convenient credit card sized ticket, no postage, no design consultants making sure the package fitted letterboxes, etc.No. It doesn't need WiFi or a mobile signal. It just transmits from your phone to the reader using Near Field Communication. Or doesn't.
Great news is that soon we shouldn't have to rely on remembering our phones, our phones working properly, being charged, the readers working, etc.
Apparently they can do this stuff on a credit card sized piece of plastic with a chip in it. Hopefully phonrs are just a stopgap & they'll be able to roll these cards out next season.
