Well they boot loyal fans off for protesting
They fail to consult fans on the switch to digital only tickets
They refuse to put simple things like a net up to protect people
Fans ask genuine questions to which they are constantly get told by SD they will look into it
Cancelling fan displays at the last moment
Dreadful customer service
Turning people away from autograph signings

Hopefully that answer your question

The other blatant reason they are doing this is so people don’t pass on season cards to friends or family when they can’t attend. They think it means they will sell more tickets to games. They won’t. We have six tickets across the family and it’s rare all six can go, we normally ask another member of family or friends if they want to go, especially the kids. Some of the younger ones have then loved it and pestered their parents into taking them again. We’ll not be able to do that now so they’ll not go to games as they only went in the first place as there was a feee ticket to use.

Can you not download the ticket like you do for theater tickets? Then either send it to friends or family, or print it and use a paper copy.

A fingerprint scanner would be good. You can’t forget your finger.

But imagine the state it would be in by 5 minutes past 3

Covered in chips, grease, beer, coke, and worse!

Can I ask just how gathering the information - your fingerprint would be implemented?

Very easy at work places as every one comes into work on a daily basis but a football match...? Really....!

Would they- The Club be willing to travel to every Sc holders addresses to obtain said fingerprint...? Or would the club expect ME to travel to the club shop/ticket office (that would probably be closed btw) to transfer my Fingerprint to a machine.... I really dont think Im going to be doing that....!

Then we have the problem of GDPR....!

Gus is an absolute legend and has been a major part of SO37 matchdays for years. He doesn't own a mobile phone and the lads at SO37 always update him on meeting times etc by phoning his landline. He's the least confrontational bloke on the planet. Fair play to him

Good post. Exactly the point here. I am not against progression but it has to be for the benefit of all. Otherwise it’s exclusion. Anyone should have the right to support and watch our club. It IS ours not KLD’s or anyone else’s. Let me know when the mass protest is and I will be there.

I think you know more than you are letting on.

You and the rest of the supporters associations were told about this at the last meeting... So I am told off a very reliable source....!

I haven't denied that. I've said on this very thread (or maybe the other one about digital season cards) that the club mentioned it during the last supporter's collective meeting. We're not really meant to mention anything from the meetings until the minutes come out, but given how poor the communication has been from the club, and how much the "no physical cards" thing is worrying some of our supporters, I felt it was only right to mention that they discussed digital cards, but that there will be an option for those who aren't able to go digital

At no additional cost?
 
Do you want to know something, This has "TICKETMASTER" all over it.......! An absolute horrendous system especially at the arena in Newcastle. Never had a good experience with it yet....

Cant add to Google wallet, cant transfer and cant screen shot tickets.

Let that sink in people. Thats what all this is about....!

This is what I expect will happen. There will be an alternative for those who literally can't have a ticket on a smart phone etc, but I expect the club will try not to promote it very widely, and possibly to have a cost associated with it because, as you say, they won't want lots who can use a digital ticket simply deciding they'd rather keep their cards

There will be an option for those who can't access a digital card, 100%

How will they know that you cant?

Of course it is but we have to respect the views of all fans and seek to understand their concerns and address them if we can

I agree, but to come out and state that it will happen for next season is shocking.... Why dont they give it a year consulting with the fans and selling the idea instead of jumping in with both feet and pissing fans off.

I mentioned this earlier, it seems like we are hard wiring ourselves to Ticketmaster
