westonred Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 I take it Digital Ticketing is an app on your phone that allows you entry through the turnstyles is it ? Problems i see with this is what happens if battery dies on your phone ? There's a crowd of us who all sit together, if anyone is unable to attend a match we give the ticket to a one of the others to bring a friend along to save the ticket being wasted this wont possible now as you are not going to give someone your phone are you 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 Jerry has also tweeted: the club have said numerous times there will be an alternative. I guess in most cases they are trying to get rid of the production and posting of 10k cards….a small number of the 14k+ Season Ticket holders will need an alternative.

I think it's going to be a bigger number than some think. Personally I don't need an alternative but I will be requesting a physical season ticket because I want one. 32 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glynriley Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 Why does @JerrySLO only seem to communicate on twitter?? For those of us not on it, it's as much use as an inflatable dartboard.

hertsexile Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 There now seems to be app for everything! Hopefully any new season ticket app will work better than the BCFC app which kept crashing! That aside I am fed up with being told you will need to download the app What ever happened to good old customer service and someone to speak too instead of a robot ! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see what happens next. Found why i thought it was Google Wallet. Had this in my ST booking email. Q: Will I receive a new season ticket? A.2023/24 Season Tickets will be digital so, prior to the start of the season, you will be able to add your Season Ticket to Apple/Google Wallet on your mobile phone. More information on how to do this will be issued in due course. We will work with individual Season Ticket holders to find a solution for them if they are struggling with using a digital season ticket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a screenshot and forward it on - it really is going to be VERY easy I used to support a disabled supporter who found that problematic. The replacement service was cold, unfamiliar and more time consuming due to this individuals disability. He stopped attending. A club that moves to a digital only system would be involving itself in a discriminatory practice. Your use of easy there is a perception. Easy for you is not everybodies easy. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
