I went to the box office today to get a printed tickets , as I did for the Brentford game.
I don't have a smart phone or a printer .
They could not print one out for me as the printer is in a different of the ground . That is what I was told , couldn't make it up .
They have taken note of my tickets and said that they will be sending me in the post by Friday my tickets for Saturdays .
I feel sorry for the box office staff being put in the front line and hopefully not taking any flack the PL should be getting .

I have a spare printer they can have, HP all-in-one

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

So long as an 'e-ticket', i.e. a PDF, is an option for each game alongside the new digital season ticket QR code, then I don't see any issues here.

If they're going full app or wallet based without offering alternatives (such as the PDF) then that is stupid.

However, I'd be very interested to know the ratio of digitally enabled vs. analogue (no smartphone or access to a printer, private or otherwise) fans. I'd estimate it's about 95/5 digitally enabled. And that's beng generous... Yes it's not ideal if you don't have access to a printer or smartphone, but the only alternative is to have the club send you physical tickets in the post. Once that's set up you don't have to think about it again.

Also I really don't think this is about saving the whales, or any other random suggestions on here – the PL have guidelines, most clubs are having to follow suit. Vaccine Passport system also coming on stream soon so whether we like it or not, it's happening.

So long as there is a solution for everyone then just get on with it.

Call the box office and be proactive if you feel shut out – by the sounds of the post above there are alternative solutions for the minority of analogues, but it certainly would help if someone spelt it out clearly on the site (or for the 5% took out a full page ad in the Croydon Advertiser??)

Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.

I think it is a case of fixing something that is not broken .
When this happens problems start . Just look at the Boeing max planes .

Fiasco aside, here's a handy hint.

I have tickets for my pal and his two kids in my 'wallet'. He can't get them.

Because I couldn't share them with him, I took a screen shot of each QR code and sent them to him on WhatsApp.

The readers on the turnstile were able to read his QR codes and he got in without issue.

It was harder for me (but not dramatically so) because I tried to access our QR codes through Google pay and I'd forgotten how terrible Internet connection can be.

This weekend, I'll ensure all tickets are available in a way that doesn't need Internet connection. So I'll grab them and save them as images some place.

If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

Good luck with that. We did exactly the same for the Brentford game and none of our four images/pdfs/printouts were read first time by the turnstile readers.
