[Albion] No more season ticket cards

[Sussexscots]

Cards work just fine. Take out card, scan, out back in wallet. Can do without a queue of people fannying about with their phones before entering the ground...... I'd never get to my seat in the Upper East.

Why do some people feel the need to get arsey about people pointing out the dangers? If the club decide to see reason and not discriminate I won't become angry (note the future tense - I'm not angry now).

There aren’t really any ‘dangers’. There will be cards for those that don’t have phones etc........

Great news as far as I’m concerned. One less thing to potentially forget on matchdays

You had me going for a minute there

I'm not joking,I am serious.
All these electronic passports,tickets,cashless payments will turn us into a society where unless you have a mobile then you will not be able to function in society.
In the short term it creates a two tier society with some people unable to access venues,events,pubs,vote etc.this in itself is bad enough.
In the medium term the seeds that have been sown will turn into a personal electronic ID card on your device(by this time everyone will have been forced to own a phone or not participate in society)things will start to move in the direction of having a microchip in our hands to make it "easier" than carrying a phone.we will then effectively have been chipped the same as a dog at the vets.
Long term it will end in humans having micro chips in their brain and being controlled directly by the state ,who by then will not be a government that we vote for,it will be a global government run by technocrats.
Previous generations chose to fight against tyranny for our freedoms,but we are the generation that are just rolling over and accepting the growing dominance of big tech and we run the risk of being the generation that failed future generations of humans and just gave away humanities freedom.
So I say again,keep the season ticket cards please.

In that case, fine. As long as it stays that way and doesn't exclude people.

Will need to keep enough phone battery life for the 'travel included' journey home also

I'm guessing it will be harder to let others use your season ticket if it is only on your phone!

Methinks you exaggerate with the microchip stuff, but as far as creating a two tier society, you're dead right.

Yes, but you know how it will be - all gates except one for preferred customers with smart phones only, the remaining gate manned by a less than average intelligence work experience youngster who hasn't been shown what to do!

Poor old BG, RIP, could you imagine,

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

You'd better get used to it. There is already discrimination against people who don't have a passport and don't drive. One more form of discrimination creeping in under the radar. Pity if a club that is purportedly totally against discrimination does it.
Still, I suppose some forms of discrimination are more acceptable than others, eh?

Calm down, grand dad. I'm sure the club will offer a workaround.

I know someone (in his early 50s, so, much younger than me) who refuses to have a bank account. So, the college pay him in a brown envelope that he collects every Friday

(He also refuses to wear a mask, and supports Millwall, but hey ho, different stroke and all that. The ****.).

Sorry, back on topic (or is it Snickers?). Ahem. Barber OUT!!!!

Poor old BG, RIP, could you imagine,

He'd love it - causing Mayhem while others solve the problem, and he'd be looking all innocent, the crafty fox

RIP BG, you provocative old b'stard, you.

Discrimination against people who choose not to have a smart phone?

Look on it as providing convenience for those of us happy to have our ST in our Apple wallets. The ever diminishing group of people who are not so keen will be looked after. The technology exists so may as well be used. We bought tickets for a game at Chester at Christmas (sadly refunded when the area went into level 4 lockdown) and chose the Apple wallet option. Print at home was also offered. It’s choice not discrimination.

OK, you're serious. I'm sure there will be some of opt out system as of course the club are shifting from giving you the mode of entry to expecting you to have it.

Having said that, the stadium will be cashless when we return, are you against that? You could say that is already a two tier system against people who do not have debit card at least.

You can pick up a smart phone that will be able to do this for less than £100. I would say the % of people who would attend a football match who do not already have access to this technology is pretty small.

Yes - as long as the choice remains.

The use of technology itself doesn't bother me in the slightest and I don't know anyone in my family or friends that doesn't have a smart phone. However not having a physical object that shows your connection with the club will be a bit sad. The only person with a season ticket card with my seat number is me and that feels a bit special.
