Out of interest what are your plans for 27/28 as the club expect everyone to be digital for then and why did you need it? I’m nosey. |  |

I wonder what grounds the club could use to reject? If someone says they do not own or cannot use a smartphone, and have paid for their season ticket, what can the club do? Maybe recent new customers could get more attention, but anyone who has been going for years will surely be given a physical card if they ask. |  | |  |

Just used the 'I don't have a smartphone, and have no intention of buying one' line. If I have to have a digital ticket in future seasons, I have to have one. A physical one just makes it easier to lend to my dad on the odd occasion I can't make it. |  |

| People R receiving emails saying that a physical season ticket has been granted. on 12:53 - Aug 13 with 3122 views | Zx1988 | Interesting to see that even e-Tickets are something that German fans have railed against. There was a banner at the weekend that I can't find now, but there were also fairly wide-spread protests back in 2024: One link I found suggested that a game between Hertha and Lokomotive Leipzig had been interrupted by tennis balls in a protest against e-ticketing. |  |

....part of the terms and conditions next season. Digital ticket or no ticket. Without sounding like a total b'stard, if you are incapable of using a digital ticket then I expect you need to be accompanied to games anyway, so you can just have your ticket downloaded to the phone of whoever holds your hand at games. Sorted. |  |

I will have to buy a fo-un and leave it in the draw until match days. |  | |  |

And the thing is, the person accompanying could become a designated carer and get their ticket free! Or has that been stopped now as well? |  |

Yes I feel that this will be the case and if they offer no alternatives then I won't renew. C'est la vie. Plus I think looking at our transfer activity thus far I will not be able to afford one next season. |  | |  |

Fair enough thought they’d have said fook off to that! It’s actually easier to transfer a season ticket online, for people that you don’t know or see often tbf. Has been like that for a couple of seasons, saves the faff of trying to get the ticket back for the aforementioned reasons. |  |

I wonder how many people who applied for a physical season ticket will go to away games and happily use the digital ticket, surely the club will look at that |  |

You don’t have to share any information it doesn’t already know? Hope they let you in with your tin foil hat on |  |

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. |  | |  |

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. |  | |  |
| People R receiving emails saying that a physical season ticket has been granted. on 15:20 - Aug 13 with 2384 views | CM7blue | My daughter had her exception approved today. I'm not confident of it arriving via the post before Saturday 22nd though. We haven't received anything for 3 weeks, including something I know was posted on the 2nd.. We'd better prepare ourselves for a queue at the ticket office. |  | |  |

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. |  | |  |

So you will use online banking but won’t put a football ticket on your phone due to privacy concerns. Make it make sense. [Post edited 13 Aug 19:56]

If it doesn’t arrive then ring them on the Friday and they can send out a digital ticket Probably the old style QR code ones. |  |
