| Season Tickets App/Phone whatever on 16:03 - Jun 30 with 2356 views | Scuzzer | Its actually about getting all the different sign ins aligned into one. TownTV, Shop, Customer services and Ticketing. Should have done it ages ago. Just hope we don't get lumbered with, as you put it, a digital season ticket as it just won't work for me and my son. |  |

That’s what it’s going to be unfortunately, and no more paper away tickets either. I’m hoping the club give us an option to buy a physical card still, some clubs do it for £10. |  |

nope, Google Wallet or whatever the iphone equivalent is, is basically it thesedays, premier league rules, so its not wholly a club choice either |  | |  |

Wonder how difficult it will be for people to pass away tickets to others. I read somewhere that a ticket can only be downloaded once so presumably if you know who you want to transfer it to, then that’s still doable by forwarding the download link. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

There will be hard tickets for those that cling onto the past (or who do have the means to use a virtual ticket) |  | |  |

I manually added the QR code from my season ticket to my Google Wallet last season and it worked a treat. I suspect that for 90% of people having it on their phone will work really well practically even if there's a sentimental attachment to a physical card. It will be supporting the 10% who can't use it for whatever reason that will be important. Venues like the o2 have been doing this for a quite a while so it can work. |  |

It was originally communicated that a physical card would be an option. Its the f**king morons in the Premier League enforcing it, some crazy lie from them about reducing plastic. But don't worry you'll still be able to buy a bottle of beer, that will be a beer in a single use plastic bottle. But a plastic season ticket used 20 times is apparently bad for the environment. In other words single use plastic bottles are ok for the environment because PL teams can make a profit from them |  | |  |

I've seen some of the comments about reducing plastic usage but I think the main aims are around reducing touting and stopping people on banning orders getting in. |  |

I love a bit of technology and use AI extensively at work. I encourage my students to do the same. I will be asking for a plastic ticket, because a) I enjoy finding old season tickets when going through old stuff b) when I broke my phone last week, it would have been complicated to access the ground |  |

Didn't someone say that the matchday ticket office next to the old practice pitch has gone? Will there be a replacement ticket office for eventualities such as you mention? |  | |  |

I'm hoping this is the case. Are the PL really saying that if you don't own a smartphone, you can't buy a season/match ticket? |  | |  |

I truthfully have not seen my wallet for six months+ so I welcome the virtual tickets, it’s long overdue. I will also buy a programme (last one I bought must be over ten years ago) if they move to a digital format that I can download. |  | |  |
| Season Tickets App/Phone whatever on 10:43 - Jul 1 with 1052 views | hammo56 | Just spoken to the ticket office and was told that there will be an announcement made in the next couple of weeks about the digital season tickets. Apparently they realise that in some situations people may not have or be able to use a mobile phone and are working on a solution for this. |  | |  |

I wonder what the outcome will be for people who don't want to rely on a mobile phone. e.g. have a poor battery life. Tough probably. Obvs I know people can carry power banks or charging cables, but I really hate how in the space of less than 20 years, we've gone from introducing smartphones to not being able to live without them. |  | |  |

Be interested to hear you expand on why you use the word ‘hate’. Genuine question. The learning opportunities, health monitoring, communication improvement and automation can only be a good thing no? |  | |  |

Personal opinion. I just don't like how technology is forced on us. Everything these days seems to be about self-serving, rather than receiving customer service. Usually to increase company profits. Look at all the banks that have closed as an example. While I agree technology can be useful, it should be a choice. Also, our kids are addicted to their phones etc. which isn't a good thing. |  | |  |

Cling onto the past? Pah then I want a booklet of individually numbered vouchers that I tear out game by game and hand to a turnstile operator who wishes me a good game lol We've only had plastic cards since about the 2000s.might have been 2001 but theyre hardly old fashioned And fwiw yes having spent over £500 on something I would prefer something physical to have as a keepsake of that transaction. There are generations who now will reach their later life and not have physical tickets that will trigger their memories of those times, they wont even have the phone they used anymore . That to me is not progress for humankind. |  | |  |
