Season Tickets

[Bad English]

I had two tickets on one phone in Google Wallet. I tapped in, went through then reached back to tap in my mate. No hassle.

Haven't they got their own fancy entrances though?

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

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.

There was a visible group of empty seats towards the away end.

What happened in Witton Lane sounds worse. It might only affect a relatively small number of people but it beggars belief they were sold seats that don't exist.

Is this chaos all part of a cunning plan by Heck to force fans to get to the ground earlier and once inside spend more money quaffing pints of crap larger and so fill up the toilet troughs.

No matter how early you get to the ground there’s no point if you can’t get in

Was the problem that everyone had a smart phone, downloaded into their wallet BUT not every smartphone has NFC?
If it hasn't NFC then I assume you have to show the bar code to gain entry?

Surely the people on the gate knew this problem though!

In the que I was in for the lower holte most with smartphones got in no problem, the issue was the turnstiles not being opened till about 4.40

[nick harper]

At the Witton Lane, despite queues running into hundreds at all the turnstiles there was often one steward patting people down (waste of time that is anyway) and taking all the time in the world. That slowed things down further. Can they not just employ more staff and move down the queue to speed things up. The whole crowd management thing is unbelievably amateurish.

The queues were enormous on the Trinty Road. Had to queue for about 10 minutes at the top of the Holte steps.

The TR queues were made worse by that scaffolding, which made it look like some of the turnstiles weren't open.
Therefore, most people were queuing back down the steps.

I walked along the fence and went straight in at the far turnstile

[Lky]

That wasn't the problem on Witton Lane (late opening turnstiles).
The queues hardly moved until 10 minutes before kick off because people weren't getting in.
It seemed like the turnstile operators had then finally got a message to override the turnstiles if there was a problem.

My ticket didn't scan. Not sure what I did wrong. A man on the door grabbed phone off me and tried it but couldn't get it to work either so he told them just to wave me through.

It always amuses me when they pay down my 97 year old dad. What do they think he’s bringing into the ground?

I bet despite good advice you swapped hand holding the phone at the last minute?

Knowledge, wisdom, experience and a whole lot of history. Not under allowed by Heck!

[London Villan]

The Trinity queues were a free for all. Little security checks and lots of queue jumping.

I couldn't remember which hand I'd last touched it with so carried it between my toes to be on the safe side.
