Seems to be the way forward nowadays, and should make buying tickets easier - it does need some improvement.

But I wonder who absorbs the costs, the club or the customers - will we have additional fees to 'print at home', or similar?

The additional costs of buying a play-off ticket at Wembley, for example, are horrendous.

A significant number of season ticket holders who are retired and who are not living on large pensions may not have the latest mobile technology and many have "pay and go phones" with limited download potential. Others who are in less than 100% perfect health can struggle, too.

I trust this new ticketing system will accommodate all supporters

Long overdue and an excellent idea. I am sure this will be in addition to the traditional ways of obtaining tickets.

I believe we are having a credit card style season ticket this season rather than the booklets we have had for the last few seasons. So perhaps STHs will be able to swipe on the turnstiles to gain entry rather than the more manual method previously.

I presume this will replace cloudfare which we have used for the last couple of seasons for online ticketing. Hopefully we can sell tickets for events like this as well as things like Seasons tickets too. Possibly this could even pave the way for an online club shop in due course too.

Obviously the devil is in the detail but this sounds a good step IMO and definitely a potential improvement in the infra structure of the club.

I somehow doubt we are going to put up electronic turnstiles, would need 3 times the manpower to get people into the ground when they didn't work.
Nothing much is going to change just less need for human interaction and less cost due to no printing or posting, those who use their phone to manage things will find it much easier and it won't be long before this is the majority (if it isn't already)

We had a season ticket card like that in 2014/15, our first season in National League...still got it too.
