Hartleysbeard Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 Hi all. I’ve always printed tickets at home but it was suggested that I can just scan the barcodes for each ticket on my phone and that will be fine as it’s scanning the same code but without a physical ticket. I’m sure it should be ok but just asking if anyone else has experience of doing so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nest Egg Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 Yep, I've done this and it normally works. The scanner can be temperamental but if this happens just show the steward the barcode and they'll let you in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the physical ticket printed at home is not quite the keepsake that proper tickets were! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most recent gig I went to issued proper tickets but they’re all rather generic now. I have loads of ones from the 90s that are full of colour.

Hartleysbeard Posted September 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 No trouble at all using the e-tickets today; can’t see how that could cause any delay to entry compared to printed ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky you. The link to mine in IOS wouldn’t work so I had queue at the ticket office. Woman who served me said a few people had the same issue today. Bit annoying, could only manage 1 pre match pint instead of 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made sure the attachments were downloaded before leaving home as find the 4G or stadium WiFi unreliable (overloaded). Another way to overcome this issue in future would be to screenshot your tickets (at least just the barcode bit) so it’s there ready to go in your photos.

Sandhurst Red Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 Speaking of tickets, I'm planning on bringing a friend to the game tonight and wondered if anyone had a £10 members ticket offer that I could perhaps use etc? Can transfer money over immediately and then you send the ticket via email etc. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The physical ticket is a representation of your affiliation to club and it serves to re enforce loyalty ‘and’, frequency of attendance IMHO. Modernity has served up a bland, emotionless and purely ‘transactional’ experience which in my opinion is the complete opposite of the character and make up of footballs roots, considering it’s humble beginnings . Does it make the club’s processing more efficient? Yes of course. I call it the McDonald’s ‘isation’ effect. I will always cherish my childhood memories Ashton gate of the 80’s and 90’s.
