Seasoncard - 2021/22

[bluesince76]

could at least make a gold ticket, gold.

Preferred it when you could have a photo of your choosing on if. Miss the Dickov kneeslide on my ticket

This is something I’m surprised nobody has picked up on.

You’ll be able to scan a “print at home” ticket displayed on your phone in the barcode scanner, if you don’t have an NFC smartphone.

Yes, you could just print it to the phone and scan it, but the actual ticket has a barcode option which I assume would be the same as the printed version

We both always go to the match so there'll never be a need to use the exchange.

His match day routine involves a couple of hours in the pub with his mates before having another inside the ground. My matchplay routine sees me leaving home at 2:25 (for a 3PM kick off) walking to the ground and being in my seat in 105 with 5 minutes to spare before kick off. So the multiple cards on one wallet doesn't really work; we're brothers not siamese twins.

Point here is friction. Most technological developments seek to reduce friction not increase it. I suppose the best recent example is the transition from chip and pin to contactless - the credit card companies and retail outlets didn't insist we all move to contactless by removing the chip and pin option, the two alternatives coexisted. Seems to me that Everton got it right allowing the new and old technologies to exist side by side.

I'll be there whatever the inconvenience but my big worry is how many (older) fans we will lose permanently.

I take your point about the "benefits of the improvement" it only works for me because my lad can't go in his own yet. Just did his ticket download to my wallet and found it very easy. Can't say I don't have doubts for Norwich though. COVID worry and technology mistrust, a perfect storm for people not returning, not just oldies like me.

So does anyone fancy doing an experiment and printing the barcode from the wallet and seeing if that paper copy gets them into the ground?

Definitely will work well for parents with children too young to go on their own.

Still haven't had my email, has anyone got a link I could use or are they unique to the SC holder? This is really baffled me

They are unique links on the email they send you

I don't think you actually need the email - it just makes things a little quicker by providing a link straight to the tickets page on the City website. You should be able to download your card without the email by logging into the tickets page on your phone, clicking on 'Seasoncards', ticking the season ticket you want to download and clicking 'Add to mobile wallet'.

Yeah I tried that but still hit a brick wall, guess its the dreaded supporter services call then [emoji21]

Don't bother phoning yet, you'll be just wasting life, when you're able to download the "add to mobile wallet" highlights. Mine turned up active 9 hours before my sons did

I stand corrected. Good luck with supporter services If it comes to that!

Mine went to spam. Worth checking if you haven’t already.

I’m not convinced you even need the link. Try logging into your account and doing it without using the link.

 

[Ribchester]

Sure you can just log into your account the email is really about being a guideline instruction. Worked perfectly for both me and the lad.

When do points for cup schemes get added?

 

[mrtwiceaseason]

Completely confused me, why don’t they just have a button saying “download your season card”? I have to blue square, detaiks of the Norwich game and also a bar code. Which of these gains you entry?

None of them, if its like the Everton match :+)

 

[eastmanc]

You’re in favour of the changes then?

We love a good moan on bluemoan

 

[DTKOAG]

When do points for cup schemes get added?

At the end of the competition now

 

[NeilYoungIsBack]

Downloaded the card on the phone very easy.

But NFC didn't work well for me at the Everton match.

I'm thinking it might be worth me trying to buy something at my local shop using Google Pay to test how best to position the phone to get NFC to work, you know, get some practice in.

My digital ticket doesn’t have a barcode on it…just the NFC prompt.

If I turn NFC on, it looks like that (Google Pay on Android). Looks like just holding it to the reader would work. If I click show code, screen changes to white (& full brightness) with a bar code. If I turn NFC off, the bar code is on the blue screen below so you could just scan it straight in.

Don't think it therefore needed NFC, but it'll probably work quicker than the bar code for the phones that have it

You need NFC turned on. I imagine this could have been the issue some had for Everton thinking the barcode was fine
