See my post above... "NFC, which is short for near-field communication, is a technology that allows devices like phones and smartwatches to exchange small bits of data with other devices and read NFC-equipped cards over relatively short distances." if you use Google Wallet/Pay or Apple Pay they will prompt you to turn it on before use. If not it can be turned on/off via settings. Give me a shout if any issues

Yes entry level phone so no NFC, have to be a physical card then but your statement that most Android phones do not have NFC is incorrect...

No problem, happy to help!

NFC, which is short for near-field communication, is a technology that allows devices like phones and smartwatches to exchange small bits of data with other devices and read NFC-equipped cards over relatively short distances.

Almost all modern Android devices have NFC...? ("Android 10 and iOS 13 were released in 2019, and both can run on most smartphones going back to at least 2017. That means that nearly any phone made in the last six years should be able to offer full NFC support") Which Android version or phone are you talking about?!

https://wallet.google/intl/en_uk/ Have a read - basically a digital wallet that holds payment cards, loyalty cards, concert tickets and now season tickets... you just enable NFC, and use your phone contactless to pay or access places like you would with a card

Full details will follow, they will have to have a Bristol Sport account for you to forward it on. Might be the option of a print at home ticket/PDF as well as digital.

Expect an extra cost for these next season though... most clubs that do digital tickets charge around a £10 for a physical card

For iPhones, go to your Apple Wallet and onto the season pass. In the corner, there will be a circle with three dots, click this and on the next page make sure "Automatic Updates" is enabled, then pull down on the page to refresh/update the pass:

In Google Wallet, click the 3 lines in the corner, and go to Settings. Towards the bottom enable "Updates about your passes":

You only add it once, its there for the season now.

It's not really a squeeze, the scanner is on the top at the front. One person can stand there and scan the tickets through without causing a queue. It's not like the old style turnstiles!

Like @ralphindevonsaid above it makes it much easier now to transfer the tickets online rather than having to hand over and then collect a physical ticket... anyway just a thought!

Why can't you just add them onto yours? Pretty straightforward, same as adding all your families boarding passes on one phone, just flick to the next one and go through

https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/ℹ-digital-season-tickets-for-202324/ https://www.bcfc.co.uk/tickets-memberships/season-tickets/digital-season-tickets-faqs/?update Pretty straight forward, although social media replies will be fun

what does this mean for us non financial folk?

I think what will happen next season if the demand is too high is doing what other clubs seem to be doing and charging an extra £10 if they want a physical season card.

From reading posts on here and on social media there's going to be a lot of people requesting a physical one purely because they don't like change rather than not having a smartphone etc

For all the numerous people moaning on social media!

Good luck! It should be fairly simple, but feel free to ask if any issues! I use it for all my supermarket loyalty cards and gig tickets.

Can you not just download Google wallet if you have an Android phone? Pretty handy app
