"It will also introduce an approved method for season ticket holders to transfer their ticket for specific matches to nominated, eligible individuals when they are unable to attend themselves. Further information will be announced in due course."

 

Think they'll have to have an account via the ticket site or new app if there is one. 

 

Mainly worried about what the craic will be for members. I've got a membership but I've bought tickets for my brother through my dad's account/name as he's a ST holder, so the name on the ticket that brother uses has been his. Guess he'll have to get an account but given I got his ticket through STH/member sale, will he have to get a membership too? So the name and account type matches up? What a fanny on.

Very much doubt any kind of checking will be done on a wide scale basis. 
 

Much like the cup final at Wembley, promoting the idea of it is more the deterrent than actually doing checks.

Why change something that ain't broken?

 

I like having a card for my season ticket - always a bit of an occasion when it arrives.  I don't just want an 'app' on my phone.  What about people who don't have a smartphone?

Each time we got relegated an extra year was added to the deal. I think that's why I'm still there.

The mackems went through all this carry on when they announced they were introducing it. ‘What about X, what about Y’ etc. etc.

 

There will be a (very) small amount of fans who, for whatever reason, wouldn’t be able to use digital tickets, and the club should work with them on an individual basis to find a solution.

 

The rest of us (the vast, vast majority) will just have to get on with it. The club needs to be embracing modern technology, and in two years time we’ll not even think twice about using a digital ticket.

 

On top of that, it makes touting far harder, which can only be a good thing.

Is there a set up for "giving" my ticket to someone else should I not be able to make it ?

Yeah, it seems you can list ‘eligible’ people to use your ticket in your absence. Not clear exactly how, or how many people you can list yet.

 

Suppose it means you can’t just give to someone on a whim. Although having said that, I very much doubt any match day ID checks are going to be extensive.

Depends - if people get a QR code for general sale tickets it won't make a difference.

We’ll have to wait and see, but I’m expecting it to be more sophisticated than that.

IMPROVING STADIUM ENTRY

Updating personal details is just the first step in the introduction of the new digital ticketing platform for the 2023/24 season.

The digital ticketing platform will ensure more efficient entry to St. James’ Park using smartphone ticketing at turnstiles and will improve sustainability by eliminating the use of paper and other resources for physical tickets.

It will also introduce an approved method for season ticket holders to transfer their ticket for specific matches to nominated, eligible individuals when they are unable to attend themselves. Further information will be announced in due course.

A SAFER ST. JAMES’ PARK

The new digital ticketing platform will assist the club in ensuring St. James’ Park is a safe, welcoming and enjoyable place to watch football.
