Season Tickets

[Holte L2]

I've got an adult season ticket in my youngest Son's name but both my Son's use it. The youngest is off to Australia for 2 years & if he has any sense he'll stay there. I asked the club if I could change the name on the ticket to my eldest. They told me I couldn't transfer the season ticket to another supporter. But that I could transfer the ticket on a match by match basis, which is impractical & nonsensical.

I told them I'd leave it as it is. In my experience they rarely, if ever, offer any sort of help.

Download the ticket on your phone and have them both saved to your wallet.  Easiest way.  I do the same here.

I think I’m going to put my 3 on old phones

I have 3 ST’s shared across 5 family members ( don’t tell the club)
the only reason I applied for the cards (rejected) was for easy crossovers, I’m just being honest the phone thing is an arseache but it’s the way we’re going so just have to find a way around it until it becomes impossible ie Face ID

If anyone is able to share details of how I can go about this via DM I'd be grateful - I'm a proper luddite.  Surely an old phone will still need a SIM card in it in order to get the download ST from the club?

I guess the easiest way would be to have an old phone with the cheapest pay-as you-go sim in it?

WiFi? should have added you can use WiFi

Is it the case that you can only download your season ticket to one devices wallet? So you couldn’t login on another device and download the ticket to that phones wallet? So in effect have the ticket on multiple family members devices.. For the European games I had multiple persons tickets in my wallet. Just passed my phone back through the line

[London Villan]

It's such an overengineered way of doing things - which is all about the club controlling who had access to spare tickets. Nothing for the convenience of the fan.

If people are having to pass phones back to kids (elderly parents) it's going to be a right faff getting in.

[Drummond]

I guess the idea is to get the people who are supposed to be named on the season ticket to actually attend. The faff is deliberate.

There are a lot of people who would and could attend all/most of the games, and not be sharing season tickets etc. They can't go because there are people working elaborate schemes of sharing to maintain ability to attend big games etc.

It reduces touting, it makes it harder to fuck about. If you lose your phone, they will let you add to a new one, and cancel the old phone/ticket from the system. if you can't attend, you can pass on to someone else.

What happens if you want a 4th Paper ticket ?

It has the potential for chaos at the first home game, might need need to start queuing 2 hours before kickoff.

I’ve just received the generic rejection email too.

I have my ST and my lads on the one phone. Can we download them yet and can I get his on my phone too?

Have to say, I’m mighty pissed off with the club about this. I know there are lots of supporters of different clubs complaining about similar things.

I assumed they’d be chomping at the bit to charge an extra £20 for a small bit of plastic, but obviously not. This impacts me now, but they don’t care. Better off being a tourist or a corporate because you’re far more valued then.

Can I ask what reason you said when you asked? Is it so you can manage your son's as he is a youngster?

I was thinking this yesterday. I can see them asking people to arrive earlier than usual.

Will it be any different to eg the European games when everyone had to have electronic tickets?

[langleylions]

Has anybody had the email yet to download the season ticket to wallet?
