David Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Derby County has become the first club to trial the use of mobile tickets at a football venue in the United Kingdom. The Rams are continuing to explore avenues to make purchasing a ticket for home games at Pride Park Stadium as easy and convenient as possible. Derby’s Print @ Home option, which has been running for the last few seasons, has proved to be extremely popular. Now, though, supporters can have their match ticket sent directly to their smartphone. Derby are running the trial for the Sky Bet Championship fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Pride Park Stadium on Saturday 29th April (3pm), as well as the Premier League 2 Division 1 encounter with Chelsea’s Under 23s on Friday 5th May (7pm). Director of Stadium Operations Brandon Furse said: “We continuously look at ways we can help make our supporters’ experience of buying and using match tickets at Pride Park as easy and convenient as possible. “By embracing new technologies such as mobile ticketing we hope that we can do just that. “Whilst it’s nice to be the first football club in the UK offering this service in this way, which is testament to how we work with our suppliers to push what’s possible, delivering better options to our supporters is what we aim for.” Mobile Tickets: How To Guide! 1) Make sure you have access to your email on your phone 2) Wait for your confirmation email 3) Follow instructions on your confirmation email 4) Download straight to your Android Passwallet or iPhone Passbook 5) Save your Mobile Ticket 6) Scan your phones barcode at the turnstile Please Note: Mobile Tickets not supported on Windows or Blackberry and are only available via phone sales and counter sales. Should the trial receive positive feedback from supporters, the Rams will investigate the possibility of the option becoming a more permanent one. http://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/rams-trialling-mobile-tickets-at-pride-park-stadium-3694985.aspx#eKLqBJjTfAyq17Sr.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I've got to go into the ticket office, to get a ticket for a game which is free anyway, in order to have the ticket e-mailed to my phone for convenience? Have I read it wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have I read it wrong? You could phone the ticket office also. I didn’t read it carefully enough and tried to order online, had to do print at home instead. Still free, though.

Print at home it is, just the West Stand open I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few tickets reserved in the block I chose but these games are usually a last minute decision for most casual under 23 supporters, I think.

Ashz09 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I liked the idea of this with Arriva Bus Tickets. The problem is though it's a pain when your Battery runs out or something happens to your Phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually quite like them (I like the keyboard), mine is a personal one, and they must still be in business, they've just brought a new model.
