Absolutely rubbish. This has removed choice. Not everyone wants this. Not everyone has a smartphone. It doesn't speed up access at all. I have attended every home game this season to date and this is just not true. It actually takes longer to get into the stadium than ever before. Also, despite the clubs heavy-handed propaganda, this is not compulsory. You can have the usual season ticket card or print at home ticket which obviously have the QR code on and work exactly the same as the e-ticket. They are not slower options. In fact I access the stadium quicker than most people with the e-ticket. Most of the information stated in this as facts are not. The club should be ashamed at taking away choice from loyal supporters who pay through the nose to watch their team. I'm disgusted with the club, I've had a season ticket since 1976, for rushing this through. And Bamford, you are supposed to be intelligent. What a myth that is.
Thank you for your feedback. We understand your concerns with eTicketing systems. However, it is good to know that the club is still providing an option for traditional access and that it is not compulsory. eTickets have several benefits compared to traditional paper tickets. They are more convenient and eco-friendly, since they don't require printing and can be easily stored on a mobile device. Additionally, electronic tickets can't be lost or forgotten, as they can be easily accessed through a mobile device. Electronic tickets also make it easy to add new features like dynamic pricing, resale options, and refund management. Overall, electronic tickets are a more efficient and cost-effective solution than paper tickets.
@SKIDATA thanks for your reply, patronising as it is. I fully understand the "eco-friendly" arguments thanks very much. I just don't buy them. You should know that we are not all gullible. The club went out of its way to discourage loyal supporters (customers) from taking up the choice of an actual physical ticket and will do the same again at renewal time in a couple of months. Out of all of my Leeds United "family" who I've enjoyed sitting with for many years, I am the only one who held out and insisted on a physical ticket. They felt bullied into accepting this and at the risk of repeating myself, I am disgusted with the club. Good luck with your business, but please don't assume that we are all on board with this. Removing choice is not democratic.
