E tickets and iPhone at the turnstiles


TheBigToePunt Flag 03 Aug 18 6.36pm

Can anyone tell me if the ticket reader machines at the holmesdale turnstiles can read the e tickets from the screen of a phone, or do you need to actually print the thing out on paper?

Print it. Even if your phone model fitted the slot you probably couldn't get the orientation on the bar code right.

Wrong. I've done it before with a £120 android phone. Posted about it in the ticket section.

It *should* work if you zoom into the barcode and rotate the image accordingly. Do not take that as a guarantee - I'm only basing this on my own experience.

It’s you holding up the queues?
