Season Tickets

[AV82EC]

When I bought my ticket for tonight, I selected the option to add it to my Season Card.

I'm not sure if it will also automatically appear in my Apple Wallet (I opted in to that last week - see above).

At the moment, there's no sign of anything Villa related in the Wallet.

I’m going to be intrigued to see if it lets me in tonight. I’ve downloaded my Season Ticket to my AppleWallet and when purchasing my ticket for tonight chose the Upload to Card option so let’s see if it works. I’ll take my physical card as well to have as back up.

Yep, I'll have the physical card and a print out of the email

I didn't know you could add your ST to your apple wallet.  Does that stop the card from working or can you use either?  And how do you do it?

I noticed on the tickets section on the website, there's an option to 'forward' individual game tickets.  What does this do?

[UK Redsox]

I received an email invite to add my card to the wallet. Clicked the link and the ticket was added for the Newcastle game.
However, after the game, the ST dropped from the wallet

Not sure if it stops the card working


EDIT - Just had a Twitter DM from AVFC support confirming that my ticket for tonight will be available via both the physical card and digital wallet

Thats pretty good.  I wouldn't mind the tickets on my phone as back up just in case I forget my card one week.

Leeds are introducing a new policy where they won't invite ST holders to renew if they don't come to 80% of matches or more;

"United consistently register sell-outs at home and have a season-ticket waiting list in excess of 20,000 for their 36,000-capacity stadium."

"Despite the overwhelming demand for tickets, season-ticket holders not attending matches at Elland Road is still a problem as it detracts from our legendary atmosphere that is vital to the teams’ performance..."

"Season-ticket holders must attend 80 per cent of the home league games at Elland Road or they will not be invited to renew for the following season."

I think Arsenal are doing something similar.

In PL they’ll lose tickets if don’t go to 4 games a season then…plenty can’t do evenings or Sundays or Christmas period or have holidays or get stuck in traffic…pretty OTT.

I'm assuming they have a ticket resale or trade scheme, like we do. Maybe if you make your ticket available when you can't go it takes it off the calculation? If they want to make sure the seats don't remain empty, that would help encourage returns.

[London Villan]

Brentford do it too.

[nick harper]

I’m not sure why this is such an issue if fans can pass tickets back to clubs for re-sale. They allow TV to dictate kick off times for millions of pounds per game and should be more tolerant of fans who find personal arrangements clash. One day maybe, supply will outstrip demand.

Just give the ticket to a mate and bollocks to the resale, job done.

This.

What a load of shite. What about a spell of illness for you or a dependent? Holidays, last minute fixture changes, work commitments, transport issues, religious holidays, weddings, christenings, anniversaries, funerals, birthdays, or perhaps you're an older person who might miss a few games due to the fucking freezing fucking temperatures?

I know it won't affect that many people in the grand scheme of things but I just hate the contempt in which fans are held these days, "if you don't we'll punish you"

Fuck off.

Is it just because people who don't attend can't buy beer and pies? because that stuff about atmosphere is hogwash.
