Quote: Bullseye "They didn't scan mine either. Someone else could have easily gained entry with a photocopy of my ticket.
One thing someone told me was that there was a very slow queue in the shop as a lot of people turned up on the day without tickets. Obviously some came on a whim and some hadn't know there were no turnstiles open. Anyway the queue was slow as two members of staff were dealing with ticket sales, season ticket collection and merchandise all at once. I was told that a few decided not to bother when they saw the queue.
Not sure this is the result the club wants.'"
This is why I'd at least open 2 cash only turnstiles. That way only having 2 open may encourage people to buy online or in store through the week as there will inevitably be queues to pay and buying online would avoid that. But at least it gives people who can't access tickets online the chance to pay on the gate on the day. If that makes sense?
Quote: Bullseye " give him it at work. But on gameday, we travel to the game separately and then meet up in the ground. So me having both tickets on my phone isn't going to work (assuming I even have my new smartphone by that point). Do I need physical tickets? Or do I forward the mail on to him and we both use the same QR code, which allows 2 people to use it?'"
If it helps, the e-tickets come in separate attachments on your email. I did this with my sister. I had all 4 tickets for my group but emailed my sister her ticket so she could get in and meet her friends in the ground beforehand. So all it means is that if you and your friend have a smartphone, there's no need for you to drop it off. Just simply e-mail their ticket to them.
