About 10p of paper & even less of staff wages & electricity, mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the idea is its a deterrent... Yes it screws over the fan who genuinely forgets or loses his print at home tickets but it also helps dissuade people from using the electronic option to avoid postage charges or whatever else then show up on the day causing bigger queues to then get it printed.

Just charge them postage price on the day? People will pick the postage option rather than paying the same and having to queue as well. Too simple for City of course.

Akira Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Why can't people scan the ticket on their phones? You can board a plane with the ticket on your phone, so surely you can get into a football match with one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomerRed Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I just bought a couple of e tickets and noticed the middle row of the Dolman was 'sold out' on the planner, but 532 seats left for E30. Not sure how that works out in practice with it being unreserved, but after the Portsmouth fiasco last pre-season have decided to take no chances.

Is it if for example I bought one online but needed it reprinted I pay the £5 extra Or, If I plan to POTD I have to pay £5 for the club to print those tickets? @AdamB are you able to confirm please? If you pay on the day you pay the £11/£6 price (inclusive of fee). If you pay £10/£5 in advance because you've opted to print at home and then rock up on the day without said ticket, there will be a £5 admin charge for going to reprint. Last season we saw a rising number of people opting to "print at home" - saving on a £1 fee - and then not showing up with the ticket.

Akira Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 You should be able to, as you can get into concerts, clubs and even airports with a eticket Barcode on your phone. Printing at home or at the club, incredibly, is quite old fashioned now in my opinion. Everything is done via smartphone, no need to print tickets anymore! Save a lot of hassle, time and money if you can get in with your smartphone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question. Did I dream that I've done that in a previous season? Another question for Adam, when is the ticket booking system going to be compatible with iPads? Quite a system flaw given the number of iPad users. Again, I thought I'd cracked it once, but this season it seems we're back to square one.
