| I expect it'll be.... on 15:30 - Aug 13 by BloomBlue | This is why i don't see the need for it to be Apple and Google wallet only. When I buy a train ticket to the game it sends me an eticket which I scan at the station, its still an eticket. Not sure why the need to insist on using nfc only as scanning a ticket is still digital. |
People on here seem to not realise they are giving up on their civil liberties. Once you give those up you never get them back peeps. You will be tracked more and more. Never sell your soul to the devil. Cash is always king Do what the germans are doing and they had massive restrictions after ww2 so they bloody know |  | |  |

How anyone survives without a phone these days is beyond me (not saying I agree that everyone should have one). My mum is mid 70s and she's mastered online banking and everything else you need a phone for. And she was never a techy person. |  | |  |

For those who requested and were approved for a physical season ticket, has anyone received the physical ticket yet? My parents (in their 80s) received the email on Thursday saying it’s being posted out. But not received yet and understandably they’re getting a little twitchy they’ve not received the physical card yet. |  | |  |

There is nothing stopping in being in an app, and I suspect the Town app will move in that direction. The thing is, those apps you use and all scanning a QR code are on borrowed time, and will disappear over the next few years. NFC is far more secure than scanning an image, but until iOS 18 was introduced, third party apps didn't have access to the NFC API on the phones. They do now (from 2024), and all will migrate to NFC after a transition period. It's a similar story with Android. So enjoy your apps with camera scannable etickets - their days are (very) numbered. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

"Probably the old style QR code ones." It could equally be an NFC card / tag, which is the obvious alternative with the move to proximity etickets. These are readily available (I have them as an option for my cars authentication, although prefer to use the phone). Maybe someone will report back on what is mailed out - but I bet it's a physical NFC key. |  | |  |

I’ve been looking at ways to transfer the NFC details to a physical card myself, so I can pass it around friends as they use my tickets. I have writable NFC tags around my home for automation but do you know of I can transfer the ST to my own physical media? |  | |  |

Not sure, but promoted teams even from next season have been given 2 years to implement it. So I guess they're assuming 2 years is sufficient |  | |  |

| I expect it'll be.... on 13:36 - Aug 13 by Mark | I have had smartphones for 15+ years and like technology. I have downloaded my ticket after the ticket office sorted an account linking issue for me. It will be easy for me to use. That said, I am reluctant to insist everyone must own a smartphone and must use the Apple or Google Wallet apps. I know people without smartphones and there are also concerns about the power of the American tech firms. Technology should help us, but I dislike it when it becomes mandatory and I worry about the people it excludes. |
Whether you're using Android, an Apple Device or Windows though, you're already using an American ecosystem so hate to break it to you, but whether you use their apps or not won't make much of a difference. |  |

I know, it is just another step towards reliance on Apple and Google. My point really was that fans should not be forced to use these in order to go to football. We are ever more reliant on American Mastercard and Visa for all our payments too, which is why the European Payment Initiative has been founded to try to build an alternative. Some counties are advising citizens to keep some cash at hone. |  | |  |

| People R receiving emails saying that a physical season ticket has been granted. on 13:40 - Aug 13 by RIPbobby | Mobile phones are an extension of you as a human being. My rules for using a mobile phone are use it for its primary purpose... talking. Difficult to survive without mobile banking use that and the things that come with it. But not google wallet. No Social media apps, use the websites. Deffo no porn. And never share anything you don't want anyone to know. |
What makes you say the "primary reason" for a mobile phone is "talking"? That may have been the case 15 years ago, but not now. I rarely speak on my phone, but it is as you say an extension of my being. . Some of these points you make don't make a lot of sense. Why do you think "the websites" scrape less information than "the apps"? Why is Google wallet bad but mobile banking fine? How do you know what you are sharing, seeing as most digital information is aggregated metadata and assumed I'd into based on the websites you visit? I'm not saying it's not sensible to be aware of data, digital creep, and suspicious of many of the companies that deliver the platform and places we use for our online selves. But these arguments below don't make a lot of sense to me tbh. |  |
