Tony Tootle Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 I wonder what the thinking is behind this? Is it really going to save that much money by not sending PDFs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially weighed up against a father of two at the turnstile now having to cycle through different tickets on his wallet app to get his two phone-less young children through where previously he just printed all 3 tickets out and scanning their way in became part of the experience that they enjoyed. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest is there much difference between showing a photo and swiping to the next compared to scanning a print out and then showing the next? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say one person stood as kind of a bottle neck fiddling with scrolling and scanning is inferior to each person having their own printed ticket yes. However, the talk above is that scrolling between photos isn't the option here if pdfs are truly no longer being sent out and you have to enter them to your wallet. That is go to the ticket, scan, back out, go into the next ticket scan, back out, go into the next ticket, scan. It's not a deal breaker for me but there's people out there for sure that hate technology enough as it is and at the least, it slows down entry to everyone behind them and at the worst it is another drip-feed way of making a day at the football more hassle than its worth (not all the club's fault I should add....eg parking gets worse each season). 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollymarie Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 Whenever I take my little girl ( she’s 3 and we both have season tickets) I scan hers on my phone first, and then push the turnstile round for her, so she can go in, then I swipe across, scan mine, and go through the turnstile myself.

But the world is constantly changing and evolving. The internet didn’t exist 30 years ago: there was a time you didn’t know how to use it, but here you are using it to converse with strangers across the globe. Rather than throwing your toys out of the pram and punishing yourself but not buying a season ticket, why not open your mind to learning a new skill that will help you keep up with life in the 21st century - as you evidently have done previously? 3 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kit Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 I just tried to forward a family members ticket to myself, was not able to do this at all, whereas when I did it earlier in the season (maybe Millwall) I was able to forward the ticket to me and get the pdf to use it. Instead I've had to get said family member to log on and forward the ticket to me so that I can add to my wallet. I assume the inability to do what I was previously able to do on the linked accounts is related to tye changes to the issuing of pdf's. There can't be any cost difference between receiving a pdf or receiving a digital ticket that you can still scan anyway. Having to phone up for a pdf when required just makes the whole process more expensive if anything. The queues are much longer and slower at the turnstyles since this season and all of the delays are from people not being able to swipe rather than scanning of qr or barcodes not working so this just seems like even more of a retrograde step. I'm struggling to see what the upside from all this is but there are definitely downsides even if relatively minor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Cashless and paperless services discriminate. As I said, I don’t necessarily agree with the decision to get rid of paper tickets. I do think the option should still be there.

TV Tom Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 You can always yes postage stamps !!! David Brent: In fact, a postage stamp is legal tender. A bus driver would have to accept that as currency. Tim: Yeah, that'd happen. Gareth: Well, if he doesn't, report him. Tim: Yeah, I'll report him while I'm walking home. Gareth: Get a taxi, if you've got enough stamps. Dawn: Or cash 'em in at the Post Office. David Brent: Shouldn't have to. Shouldn't have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
