Yeah used that, but still use the card strangely enough, even though I use my digital wallet for everything else. The books you tore out that have been mentioned, were good. Then the cards were an improvement. Now the new fangled app that's coming will be great. Progress. I hate cash, and having to carry stuff around. Might be tricky throwing the digital card over the fence to let a mate get in though. 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the statement could have been clearer simply by saying it is an alternative to a physical card. And made it clear that "What You Need To Do" was a need to do only if you wanted a digital version.

Thunder and Lightning Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 51 minutes ago, davemclaren said: Sneaky. 😏 It's a flawed system, if you need to sell/transfer your ticket you send the whole season ticket. You have to rely on them sending it back. Fine if it's a friend but means you can't sell the odd game if you can't make it without knowing the person. Will likely help the ticket exchange.

Whats the advantage to the club ? The question you should be asking is, "what is the advantage to the supporter". The answer is fairly simple. A good % will prefer to use this method, you don't need to worry about forgetting your ST, it's on your phone. In time more people will use this method. Nobody has said it's compulsory, so only those who want to use it will. A great move by the club, more positive evolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartened Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 If this always remains optional, I have no problem with it but I would not be happy if it were to become the sole form of season ticket. I possess a smart phone so, in theory, I could engage with a digital form. The heat generated by my birthday cakes is now becoming more significant and threatening the very existence of ice flows. I have reluctantly and only recently embraced this technology and only to a limited degree. I don't use nor want to use a digital wallet, in fact, I'm sick of everything having to be done by App. I don't have to be surgically removed from the phone and quite happy to go out without it. If you want a digital ticket then fill your boots. Just let me continue to use my physical card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Striker Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 1 hour ago, **** the SPFL said: Not necessarily I’m sure there was a scam down in England recently were a fake QR code was placed over another at some parking area resulting in a few folk losing out Yes. I heard about that. Its a newish scam taking advantage of the gobbledygook-ness of QR codes, and that folk now just point their cameras at them to pay for something or "visit our (fake) website" etc. The scammers just put their own QR sticker on top of the correct one. Car parks were the easy ones - it only came to light when drivers got parking tickets and argued that they already paid by phone. QR codes present a problem for legit businesses in how to prove to a legit customer that they're actually the legit business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handy for letting someone else use your ST without having to meet them. I bloody well hope so. Apps are great until they aren't, my council gym membership has an app that refuses to work on my Samsung phone so they have had to give me a card.

henryheart Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I don't have a mobile phone so this is no use to me. It is my choice, a lifestyle decision and I'm perfectly happy with it. I've no problem with what is proposed as I can see that some people on here are wildly enthusiastic about it, but only on the basis of that it is an option and I will be able to keep using my card.

Francis Albert Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Another thread illustrating that ageism is the last acceptable prejudice. Why the anger when people express a preferance for phisical rather than digital tranactions.

At the recent Newcastle match, lots of folk who don't normally go having real trouble with digital tickets at the turnstiles, queues were mental, that and everyone was pished Most folk do use the digital version though, and it can be a QR or NFC whatever you fancy.
