Season Tickets

[astonvilla82]

Two lads in front of me one tapped his phone and went through and the other one tried the same and didn't work, he then inserted his phone into the reader and worked no problem.I tried my phone for internet connection but couldn't get any at all including WiFi to see if it would work,luckily I have the season ticket card

I had to switch to the QR Code too. Last week I just needed to tap my phone generally in the direction of the reader to get in. Didn't seem to work this time, so reverted to the code.

Is that the QR code that’s on the membership,card in the app ?
So is that like a backup up way of getting in if the ST doesn’t read ?

If so, I didn’t know that and wondered why we had that QR code thing.

Not speaking for Ads but no, the option is in the wallet itself.

Last week there were no issues using the same tech in a stadium holding 50% more people, and I've never had an issue at gigs using the same tech and handset.

If I'd have been part of rolling this project out I would expect to be on a very angry, finger pointing Teams meeting tomorrow morning.

The game kicked off bout 5 mins late , was it linked to the queues outside .

No,apparently the comms weren't working between the ref and the fourth official.

Hope this is not going to be a regular occurrence. I fear that it might be

Well, maybe if the GA+ and premium 'customers' were affected but when it comes to us plebs its more likely nothing will happen and Heck will be doing more PR saying how wonderful it was to be back and how all the things he is overseeing are the envy of the league yada yada yada.

[Risso]

The GA+ people will be affected, as they're just sitting in the normal stands, ie Holte or Trinity mostly.

Haven't they got their own fancy entrances though?

I assume the empty seats in the North upper were part of "The Cells" offering

[john e]

so am I getting this right

there were season ticket holders who lost there regular seat and moved elsewhere to accommodate a new semi- corporate supporter experience for those who can afford it

but they didn’t sell all the seats in the new corporate area so they remained unsold and empty ?
I’m only asking for clarification because I can’t believe it happened

[chrisw1]

Correct John, but not semi corporate it was the full hospitality seats that look like they didn’t sell.

Ok thanks

Ahhhh, found it. Thanks. I didn’t know about that backup option

We are in T3 row W right in the centre. We were pushed up a row and slightly to the left as result of "adjustments" and it's all good. However there were no empty seats around us but noted that lot of regulars had not turned up this season, which is a shame.

Yeah, none of the usual faces were round by us either, unless they were all in their holibobs.

[john e]

There were quite a lot of supporters, well I counted half a dozen who had gone to the trouble of getting t shirts printed  saying

Who the HECK stole my seat

as it happened it was obvious who the culprits were as they were all wearing half/half scarves

And of those people who lost their regular seat, many have been sold new season tickers in the DE Upper that don't exist because that's where people were kicked out years ago when they moved the TV cameras. And they only found out when they tried to find their seats.

I spoke to 3 people at the game who had been booted out of their lower DE season tickets and then bought  DE upper row AA which doesn't exist anymore, and there is a guy on another forum with the same story but bought a new season ticket in row BB which doesn't exist anymore. 

They all kept moving to unoccupied seats and being booted out when the seat owners arrived late because of the queues outside.
