Seasoncard - 2021/22

Not sure where you live but I went to Tesco's this morning to self serve, 10 tills, glancing across and the majority were paying on phones. I paid contactless with my card but the majority were definitely on phones. Likewise, I went to fill up and when I came to pay, 3 people in front of me paid on phones, I felt like the odd one out with my card. Seems some areas may have more users of technology than others?

The posher part of Salford but my job involves driving all around the UK visiting my customers and even with reduced visits I'm still doing 30k plus business miles a year. I rarely see anyone paying by phone for fuel at motorway services and I reckon it is still confined to a small minority, even at Costa, Starbucks etc. Same for pubs and restaurants.

If you frequent hipster coffee shops in major cities maybe you only see payment via Google/Apple Pay and Bitcoin :)

No apology necessary. I guessed you included us. This is all a storm in a teacup until the club actually come out and say exactly what sort of admission card/phone they are going to use.

Apple Pay is on target for 10% of all global card transactions. Looks like they are getting bigger and bigger. My card will soon be defunct and your fuel visits will no doubt see more people whipping their Apple phones out. Progress they call it apparently. Give me a season ticket book any day of the week.

That Apple Pay stat is about what I thought it might be. It will be heavily weighted to younger users in major cities. It isn't heavily weighted towards Manchester City seasoncard holders though :)

The cancer risk of smart phones isn't known yet, but there are male fertility problems. Also when you are out and about and don't want to be contacted, like at the football, why would you want to take a phone to the game?

I’d imagine 99% of adult fans in attendance have a phone on them at the game. It’s 2021 and not 1921 after all.
