I don't mind palace to be fair. Much better club than tinpot Charlton and Brighton

Took me a while today and was about to go over to club when I thought, 1 more go and there was my season ticket. Why it wasn’t there when I looked earlier I don’t know - grrrr! Also just had a visit from my neighbour who is having problems and he has an iPhone 6 which must be why he can’t download. Seems rubbish that it’s all geared to newer models for which many don’t have? What a palaver :-(

In fairness I was replying to the general theme of the thread at the time which was mainly people complaining about the season not appearing in their app wallet.

Although the number of fans without access to both a smartphone AND and printer is surely less than 5%, basically the club should be allowing season cards to be used for one more season to smooth the changeover.

Gives enough time for people without access to the above to prepare and work it out.

As vaccine passports are coming in, plus COVID still hanging around, and the PL directive regarding digital ticketing, all PL clubs are having to move to this model. It's not specific to Palace. It's also inevitable... personally considering how long QR codes, smartphones and contactless technologies have been knocking around I'm surprised it's taken this long for it to come into play.

And finally – this won't be happening every game. Once the season has been downloaded onto a smartphone, that's it for the rest of the season. Phone out of pocket, hold to contactless reader, enter. Done.

Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.

On the Palace Website:

The turnstiles at Selhurst Park will open at 10:30 BST on Saturday before the meeting with Tottenham Hotspur, with plenty of great deals on food and drink.

With the action getting underway at 12:30 BST, get to the ground in plenty of time to take advantage of special discounts.

Grab an ‘Early Bird’ meal, including a Burger or Hotdog and a beer, for just £7.00 up to 45 minutes before kick-off – a huge discount on the normal price of £10.50.

Alternatively, get a meal deal (a burger, a side and any hot or cold soft drink) for just £8.50.

Tickets are still available for the fixture - find out more by clicking HERE.

Saturday, 11th September. 12:30 BST.

Tickets for this game are on sale at Category A prices.

When purchasing online, tickets are sold as e-tickets. These tickets can be shown on your mobile phone, or printed if you prefer (follow the fold lines and keep it dry).

So it's all just a ruse to get everyone there early to buy more burgers and you can get a printable ticket if you are not a season ticket holder.

I'm so Palace I don't even know it

I will have two tickets one for me and one for my son, how does that work?

You don't need to set up a card on Google Pay to use it for your Season Ticket. I haven't and I have my ST downloaded onto it. You do need to ensure though that your smartphone's browser is set to Google Chrome, especially if like me you have a Samsung (which defaults to Samsung Internet).

Hope that helps.

See previous post. Obviously not everyone has one, but I'd be amazed if it's more than 5% of the fanbase. That said, the plastic cards should be still usable for this season to smooth the transition, besides that the old tried and tested of heading to the BO well before the game to get a replacement ticket will be the only option if you don't have a smartphone OR access to a printer.

A printer is the minimum requirement. If you don't have that then the plastic card should really still be allowed for one more season IMO

Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.

But is it an adequate requirement, as you seem to suggest? I printed off my Brentford ticket and would do the same for Spurs if sent one, but I have in recent days seen no mention of that happening.

You previously said that only 5% would have neither smartphone or printer, which may be right, but I suspect that the % with a printer but no smart phone is considerably higher than that.

Yes, we could have had a year to get used to the change, but I still can't see the point of the change.

So what's the best way to pass on a season ticket if I or my Dad can't make it?

I've literally just received this in an email from the Box Office...

We are really sorry to inform you that we have encountered technical issues delivering your Mobile Season Ticket to you. Rest assured, we have made alternative arrangements for you whilst we work to resolve the issue.

For the Spurs game on Saturday, we will issue you with an e-ticket which will follow this email. We are doing everything we can to resolve the issue in time for the next home match against Brighton.

Thank you so much for your continued support, and please accept our apologies for the issue.

We will be in touch following the Spurs game.

The Box Office team.

So the fiasco goes on. I'm one of those with a season ticket and membership. They've just emailed me the tickets for the Spurs game as an e-ticket.... Anyone else had this??

Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!
