Not sure it is the tiny minority but I'm fine with technology and it was a real chew guessing how it works.

It's not exactly hard. People just twisting because they don't like being told what to do
A lot of people find technology difficult for various reasons. It's not just twisting, it's genuine difficulties that should be catered for and options given.

to some people it may seem hard, to others it isn't.
but as a business SAFC should be making it as easy as humanly possible for fans to buy tickets and attend games. there are 10,000 empty seats every home game, they should be doing everything they can to fill those seats but they are in fact doing the opposite and putting hurdles in place at every opportunity.
yes, a lot of people will jump those hurdles and find their way to get into the ground, but there are 1000s of floating fans who will sack it off if its too inconvenient. its not a new concept, any business in any sector will try and make it as easy as possible for customers to buy their products. SAFC make it as difficult as they can

It's not hard. It couldn't be simpler. People see advancements and just close off, claiming not to be able to do it. There's no desire to learn with folk like this

Like an a 80 year old bloke trying to figure out how to work a smart phone and then having to rely on our ever so efficient club to get the ticketing system working correctly?

I'm not saying digital is a bad thing I just think the club should have different options in place to make so it's as easy as possible for anyone to get to a game.
Right now that isn't the case.

100% agree with this. They can have Facebook and post on this forum, put there personal details in but refuse the online ticketing system
Well it obviously can be simpler, give people a card, that's simpler for most people, as proven by the queues getting slower because people are using phones.

good to see the system working
i have two spares for the weekend it seems (and adult and a kid) both cards and digital.. i'll see on the day if anyone wants to use them and they'll probably come for pint before the game with me and walk over and i'll hand them the card at the turnstile and get it back once inside. 10x easier than having them set up online accounts when sitting in the pub

Surely any match going Sunderland fan will already have an account? It takes less than a minute to forward a digital ticket it’s hardly a hassle.

not really. i might offer them out on facebook on saturday morning if no one is using them, who knows will take up the offer. could be a dad and son who have never been before
if they have got online accounts and don't want to meet me, i'll not be able to forward them on as the cards aren't mine and the lad who owns them is away. if i didn't have the cards they would 100% be going to waste.
with having the cards, there's a good chance i'll find someone to use them. maybe my lass and her niece. or my mates son and a mate
for the avoidance of doubt, i'm not saying the digital option shouldn't be there, i'm just pointing out that there should be both options

Took me about 5 mins to set an account up for one of my sons and a grandson. No bother at all.

Resurrected a thread that hadn't been posted on for 10 days only to say the same nonsense that had already been explained why it's wrong. Absolute genius right here.

That's fair enough but if you weren't going it would be simpler to just send digitally then nobody is running around.
I'm all for choice for those that can't understand digital mind, but it's an absolute doddle for most to send to someone digitally.

Striker
It is. It's also a doddle for lots of people to hand over cards between friends. That's why the club should be keeping both options, to keep attendances as high as possible

There’s a reason why there are thousands of season tickets unused every game.
