Season Tickets

[Luffbralion]

Is part of the cunning plan to get us oldies to give up in the face of technological barriers so  that they can sell our seats at the crispy new prices for adults? Digital exclusion at Villa Park.

I’m no Tech wizard, but I assume the phone you use at the turnstile won’t need to have a phone connection (I can rarely get a signal there anyway). So if you sometimes let a friend or family member use your ticket it might be worth using an old phone solely for your ticket, which you can use yourself and then lend to whoever’s using your ticket if you can’t go.

Yes that would work.  Just make sure it's charged!

But really that would only be for people who share a ticket, it's really not difficult to get a paper ticket for occasional passing on.

You're limited to 3 paper ticket replacements a year.

OK thanks, I wasn't aware we had implemented that restriction.

[Des Little]

I'm guessing you can only download your ST to one phone - so that plan would need implementing before the Arsenal game?

Amongst all this I haven't got a season ticket less than 2 weeks away from the first game. Has anyone?? Add in likely technical issues I fear a shit show at around 5 on the 24th.

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

this is what I do when work commitments got in the way of getting to the match, easy to do.

There is no excuse for this. They’ve had the money therefore in my opinion it should have been digitised within days and not so close to the wire. Even last season with the humble card they failed to get mine out before the first two home games. I had to have my tickets sent to my email address and print off the ticket from there.  That aside, it’s fine and dandy having everything on your phone, what happens when you drop your phone in water/tea/your pint? I’ve managed at least one of those and i’d guess that prolific phone users have done all and more.

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?

Bring back the old season ticket books where you pulled the  voucher out every game at the turnstile.

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.

It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't skew the resale process so that you can't resell until ever last sodding GA+ seat has been sold - that really pisses me off.
