Hi, I hope you don't mind giving our experience of changing to cashless.
All the turnstiles have scanners that read barcodes, season tickets have been replaced with monthly membership cards that have a barcode on them that lets you straight into the ground. There is a £2pm loyalty card that gives 15% of everything, tickets, merchandise, food and drink.
eTickets are bought online and work by showing the code you are emailed to the scanner from your smartphone or a print at home ticket. The club are building a new ticket office as we speak that will be fitted with terminals so fans can buy tickets in a similar manner to when you go to the cinema.
There was a lot of negativity and cynicism, particularly around the membership cards but paying monthly has nearly doubled the number of members compared to season ticket holders (Although not changed attendance numbers).

Anyway, sorry if you feel I have intruded and hope for a good game tomorrow.
