We need some fans to form a working party to help look at ticketing for home matches. More details are on the link as are details about how to get involved but just to clarify, this is looking at the technical side of things eg bar code entry, print at home tickets etc rather than cost. Very important that we get a cross section of supporters with non season ticket holders especially needed.

Online buying tickets is way forward. Season tickets can be in card form but will be expensive installling machines to gain entry. |  | | |

Notts changed from 23 tickets in a book to being a credit card type entry years ago,you hand it over at the turnstile and it gets scanned,once set up I can't imagine it being very expensive to run afterwards
Edit
A couple of years ago I forgot my season ticket and went to the ticket office to see what could be done,after proving who I was (drivers licence) they gave me a paper tkt to get in and the game was taken off electronically from my card so it has its advantages [Post edited 12 Jan 2020 21:38]

At Anfield you insert card like cash machine then the turnstile allows you in if valid. | | | |

These systems are becoming more commonplace not just because of the improved access and ticketing but also because of the information they provide about who buys tickets , where they live, how far they travel, what time people turn up, age, gender etc.
The information gathered can then be used to help improve the customer experience by enabling special offers, unique experiences etc to be offered to a targeted group. Apparently Aston Villa have partnered with Barclaycard to offer a season ticket and payment card combined which I guess can also be used at the coffee kiosks and bars inside the ground and parking outside the arena.

At Anfield if you cant make game they can sell on your seat and regund that game. Also that electronic entry is for paper tickets with hologram. | | | |

I did a season at Watford and they had unmanned electronic bar code access via a credit card type season ticket. Entrance is a lot quicker and smoother. The adoption of a paperless ticketing system will reduce costs of the ticket, staffing costs for the turnstiles and for games that sit outside of the season ticket such as FA cup the club can credit your ticket with the entrance to whichever stand you have bought. Booking fees should also disappear as this is performed centrally and £1.50 charge cannot be justified for crediting a fans account for a ticket.
A disadvantage could be perceived as to prove your seat number in high attendance matches but that's a first world problem of the highest order. | | | |

What would the likely cost of introducing a card based entry be? Is it something the club should be investing in? | |

Looking at it from a Facility managers point of view the turnstyles will need to be equipped with scanners and linked to a main computer which I would assume will be in the main office. Its a good idea that would cut down on printing and paper. | | | |

Not sure if it's used this way at other grounds but Villa (who usually have their finger on the pulse with this sort of thing) have been using barcode entry for 10 years or so and there's quite a few good schemes run through it. One which would be worth trialling here is entry into the ground gives the holder 'points' which then lead to discounts in the club shop. These points are staggered between 2-3 meaning the earlier you get into the ground the more points you receive. I'm sure helps to generate a bit more atmosphere and get more money spent inside the ground. |  | | |

Morning
We've had two volunteers so far for this group but could do with others so that a broad range of opinions are included. If you fancy it, please drop us an email to info@daletrust.co.uk.
The changes that are being looked at will impact on every supporter, and all parties are keen to make this work with supporter input before any decisions are made.
Please get involved, especially if you are a non season ticket holder. | | | |
