DEANO Posted July 17, 2023 Author Share Posted July 17, 2023 I get that but cashless is not for everyone especially the older generation. At the very least it should have been advertised 4 sometimes you have to take a step backwards to move forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaxbyKnight Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 There are a few issues at the stadium that I feel should be addressed. Yesterday, the turnstiles weren't working at gate 9, and in block C you could not hear any announcements over the tannoy. There was also a ridiculous queue to collect tickets when I arrived just before the Valkyrie game. Why can't tickets purchased on line be delivered via e mail like other organisations do? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are going cashless, I'll not be getting anything in the ground on my (increasingly regular) visits.

So if you buy a ticket online for Sunday, you still have to queue up to collect it? What's the alternative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the Ive bought my ticket online and was given the print at home or Q code option. My comment was based on speaking to somebody in the queue on Sunday who had bought their ticket on line and told it had to be collected from the stadium before the game. Hopefully you'll be able to print one or use the q code. I'd still recommend you arrive in plenty of time either way,just to make sure you get in for the kick off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyknight1967 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Bought my tickets in the stadium ticket office for a game a while ago, they also sent me a-tickets but they didn't work, came up as cancelled when I scanned the QR code at the turnstile, if I hadn't had the paper tickets with me, I might not have got in. I did report the problem so hopefully it is sorted now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
