I'm sure lots of people won't be happy with the move away from physical season tickets but for once the club seem to have anticipated some of the questions/concerns and addressed them here:

Personally think this will be like when they went cashless. Loads of worry beforehand that disappears almost instantly afterwards. |  |

The problem is it doesn't feel like we're getting the whole story, which raises the spidey sense factor with it.
I dont know enough about Man Utds ticketing rules or have enough info to judge this specific case.
But as others have said I know Man Utd have had a massive problem in the past with season ticket holders, as families would just keep them even when the owner died, just to go themselves alot of time, but also to sell on at profit
Like theres literally people posting under that womens story on X, groups that are already offering multiples of tickets for the Ipswich game
And then you read that Liverpool link I posted and theyre talking about organised crime gangs profiting & getting involved, where tickets got put for resale and then resold multiple times. One Liverpool fan highlighted someone had paid 500quid for a ticket to sit next to him. Liverpool resale platform is face value only so where did the extra money go.
So there's clearly a big problem impacting the bigger clubs, which will trickle down to smaller clubs too in time if only they took the measures to counteract it.
If digital ticketing helps fix some of thesr issues then its probably not a bad thing. |
Mate did the fan greeting stuff at Citeh for years. He said European nights were a nightmare because you'd get loads of Asian tourists, who didn't speak English and had bought scam tickets.
They'd pay hundreds a pop and the ticket would be fake, causing loads of delays, checks and all sorts. |  |

Now I'm confused, what is stopping me taking a screenprint of the season ticket and simply WhatsApp it to a mate so they can use it (obviously after money has changed hands)?
Or are they saying their scanning software will only accept it if its in google or apple wallets.? |
I did post a reply to this but realised it was on the reply to someone who replied to you.
The other person said you can't screenshot wallet but actually you can enable screen shots on Google Wallet via your settings.
BUT, (there's always a BUT!) the issue is not whether or not you can screenshot. It's actually that the ticket will only scan via NFC, like when making a contactless card payment, so therefore a screenshot wouldn't work, just like you can't make a card payment from a screenshot 😊 | | | |

Talk about it as much as you like.
But I have an old Nokia that I use to talk to people.
I find I dont need any other. Until Fu......g Ashton
So I have to buy a new phone on a new contract. Just to get into the f......g match. Which I will not use otherwise.
This on top of the £30 car and train travel that I have to pay each time just to get to Portman Road.

I’m fairly sure there is an option to get a physical card, but it will no doubt cost… | |

Yes I am sure there will be. But what about next year ?
I am being forced to spend on a new phone that I would not otherwise have to.
Nothing to do with football.
Nothing to do with making more money for the club.
Just because "I have a fancy phone so everybody should do too."
Dont give me that it is greener. That is BS. 1 Ticket for an entire year is fairly green as it is. Plus I now have to have two phones. A small one I actually use and a big one just for getting into Portman Road.

Thanks.
I was slightly confused as I always assume screenprint is at the O/S level rather than the app level. But as the club seem to be restricting it to Google and Apple wallet only (excluding other wallets like Samsung) and those two also own the O/S I was guessing they have developed their O/S to prevent screenprint of their wallets.
But.. as you say it looks like they're preventing the use of scanning. |  | | |
