Man City not even having season cards

[The Warehouseman]

It’s still instilling the notion that everyone should have a bang up to date smartphone. That should be a choice, not a necessity.

The assumption that everyone has a mobile has been going on for donkeys years though, but there are at least two people I know who even today still don’t have one.

Unreal the number of people who read something like this and instantly think of a random scenario as to why it wouldn't work.

For the vast majority of people the vast majority of the time this would be a piece of cake. There's a different option for the rest i.e. some of the oldies. What's the problem?


So it's a major issue, but at the same time it's fine for standard home games which is basically what a season ticket covers.

You managed to travel, go out on the drink all day and still get into the match by switching your phone off for an hour (which presumably would have died later anyway). Not hard is it.

Half this thread probably complained when we got rid of paper booklets.

No doubt about it at all, some people just hate the idea of progress and change

I keep all my away ticket stubs in a box - I guess this will be coming to an end soon. Shame like, I sometimes have a flick through them and it brings memories back.

Same here, I buy the match programme for every game I attend, hone or away, I’ve got boxes of programmes in the spare room and every away programme has the ticket stub tucked inside it.

you sound like the old man tie clip typoe from the sound of things. As Ive pointed out repeatedly throughout the thread, A lot of people dont bother carrying wallet around with them if they can help it these days. Its a great option for those who want this option.

P.S. For the semi final the tickets werent added to the season cards, you had to either print a ticket or keep it on your phone. So yes, it was a fanny on if you didnt have it on phone.

Ive never had a phone "suddenly die" for no reason to be honest. And in this scenario you could do exactly the same thing as you would if you "suddenly lost your wallet" that had a season card in. Get a replacement from the ticket office. Ive also said, in the message you quoted, that I hoped this will be an "OPTION" for SAFC.

Does your mrs, or mr get you ready in the morning, cos its a right fanny on, all that teeth brushing, weeing, and eating breakfast. Unless you are a blender.

Manchester City will be introducing mobile ticketing for all matches at the Etihad Stadium and Academy Stadium for the 2021/22 season.


Any iPhone 6 or above, and most recent Android mobile phone devices are compatible with mobile ticketing. If you’re unsure if your phone supports mobile ticketing, please check out our FAQ’s here, which includes further information about which mobile devices are compatible.


You will be able to download your Mobile Season Ticket(s) via the ‘My Account’ section in your online account here within the next seven (7) days. We’ll notify you as soon as this is available.


Alongside the reduced risk of lost and stolen tickets, mobile ticketing provides the flexibility to transfer your ticket digitally to people linked in your Friends and Family. This means that you will be able to transfer your mobile ticket to your friend or family member for the matches you cannot attend. You will be able to do this from your account on a match-by-match basis, removing the need to meet face to face to pass the ticket to them. Please ensure your Friends and Family list is up to date in your online account throughout the season. Ticket transfer is only available with mobile ticketing.


This is in addition to Ticket Exchange, which will work in the usual way allowing Season Ticket holders to list tickets for resale to other supporters.


iPhone and Android step-by-step guides are available here providing further information on how to download your Mobile Season Ticket.

I have a smart phone but need more help…

To help you prepare for the start of the season, we have provided answers to some of the questions that you may have on mobile ticketing here.

If you need further support as we approach the new season, we’ll be running a number of daily ‘Drop-In Sessions’ at the Etihad Stadium, every day from Monday 9th August – Friday 20th August between 10am – 4pm.

At the ‘Drop-In Sessions’, our team will help you download your Mobile Season Ticket to your smart phone and give you an opportunity to test your ticket at a turnstile. To find out more information and book onto a session, please click here.

What if my phone runs out of battery?

Please ensure that your mobile phone is fully charged before you set off. The Club will be providing a mobile ticketing support pod at the stadium, with mobile phone charging ports available. Please note: there are a limited number of charging ports and we ask you to only use them if you genuinely need to re-charge your phone to access your mobile ticket.

What if my phone has no Wi-Fi or signal?

As long as you’ve downloaded your Mobile Season Ticket to your mobile wallet before you arrive at the stadium for the first home match this won’t be an issue. Mobile tickets do not rely on Wi-Fi or a phone signal. Each match will automatically load on to your Mobile Season Ticket in advance of matchday.

I don’t have a smart phone…

We appreciate that not all supporters have a smart phone and have outlined alternative ways you can still enter the stadium below:

Option 1: Friends and Family

If you do not have a smart phone, a fellow supporter listed in your Friends & Family can download your Mobile Season Ticket on your behalf. This means that your Mobile Season Ticket is loaded on to their phone. If you don’t always go to the match with them, don’t worry, you can go into your account and transfer your mobile match ticket to someone else listed in your Friends and Family. You can then go to the match with that person. For the following matches, your Mobile Season Ticket will revert back to the original phone it was loaded on.

Option 2: Print at Home

If you do not have a smart phone and nobody you attend with in your Friends and Family is able to download your Mobile Season Ticket on to their smart phone, you will be able to request Print at Home tickets for each match via your online account. You’ll have the opportunity to request this within the next seven (7) days. We’ll notify you as soon as this is available. You only need to request this once. Once you have requested Print at Home tickets, you will receive an email no earlier than 7 days before each fixture, to let you know that your ticket is ready to be downloaded from your online account. You must then download and print your ticket on a match-by-match basis.

I don’t have a smart phone or access to a printer…

If your Friends and Family cannot help and you do not have access to a printer, you can collect a printed ticket from the North Stand Ticket Office at the stadium from seven (7) days prior to each matchday (excluding weekends and bank holidays), up to and including matchday itself. You’ll have the opportunity to request this within the next seven (7) days. We’ll notify you as soon as this is available. You only need to request this once.

I am a supporter with a disability or other access requirement…

If you have a disability, have other access requirements, or need specific assistance with Mobile or Print at Home ticketing, please contact our dedicated Mobile Ticketing Support Team on +44 (0)161 444 1894 (option 7).

It may be that our phone lines are very busy, but don’t worry, you have time. The Mobile Ticketing Support team will be available Monday – Friday, between 9am – 5pm up to and including Friday 20th August to discuss any requirements you may have before the first home game.

Pretty crap if you arent tech savvy then having to arrange your ticket every week rather than just have a single ticket and therefore limit waste also
