It isn't is the answer. Google/Apple Pay are not the app that would be used. Google wallet is merely a storage app for documents, usually things like tickets. As others have said, it would also be an email so you just open the document in that and scan code. That said, for younger kids with no phone at all, not sure how the club will deal with that but I'm sure they are aware of the problem.

The parents can just add the child’s tickets to their phone.

Thanks for the explanation. But there is no 'Google Wallet'. It was merged with Google Pay 2 years ago. I guess it will save there. I hope I don't have to put another card on it.

Sorry, didn't know that. However, do you still need to add a payment method to use the app then as there is an option at the bottom for 'Passes'?

Perhaps not unless for verification? I am able to open the app and passes section okay. So I suppose it will work? It added a couple of Hotel rewards from Hilton and IHG so I imagine the Albion's will automatically be added as well. Cheers!

My understanding was that if you are successful in obtaining a ticket your credit balance will reduce by 1/19. So if you can only get a ticket for a higher price range it does not cost extra. Similarly if you sit in a lower price area, by choice or necessity as some seats around the dugouts will not be available, it will still cost you 1/19 of your season ticket. I may be wrong but I thought they mentioned staggered ticket purchasing after the ballot so that higher priced ticket holders go first to pick a seat in their own area.
You have a completely different understanding to me.
What I took away from the video conference was that you could buy a ticket in your price band or lower and 1/19th of the ST price for the block you purchase you game ticket will be deducted not 1\19th of your ST block.
I also recall it being mentioned that NS ST would only allow you to buy NS or SS seat under ballot.

Some east and west upper based on the same price band I thought?

My understanding is that everyone will be seated in alternate seats - so if you are in a group of 5 effectively 10 seats are your bubble. Indeed if you were to use the ticket exchange for say 2 of your 5 tickets, that makes complete sense from a social distancing point of view to have 'strangers' seated in alternate seats in your row. But assuming all 5 of your group do go to a match, do you all sit across a row of 10 and not sit next to each other? If stewards were to enforce that 'rule' for a family bubble, that's daft. But of course we are used to too many daft and inconsistent edicts from the Government these days.

But the 5 wont be a family bubble will they. They maybwell be 5 friends all from different households who have to distance.

This doesn't seem fair at all...

"Fans will automatically be entered into EVERY match ballot, and each match will be subject to a fresh ballot (eg – if you are successful in one, you are NOT ruled out of the next)."

I would have thought that if successful in one ballot you should not automatically be included in the next ballot. Share nicely eh?

You raise a good point. Have fans of all Prem clubs had a similar communication like ours on Monday? Or is Barber being productive?

That means a family group of 5 gets 5 chances every ballot and mr nomates gets one per ballot. I have family in other areas can we all go together in a ballot?

Are tickets transferable to friends with advance notice to the club? That way people can share in the luck. I don't have 5 family members in each ballot.

You have misunderstood. If you elect to be a group the group goes into the ballot as one so no better cchance than Mr nomates.

How are people taking a leak at half-time in particular, but also other busy times, going to socially distance? I am not keen on being crammed into either a train or concourse but I will go to a game or two if I can get to the match by car, but at my age I need a pee at half-time!

If they can get the approval for drinks being delivered to seats, then you just use the empty pint glass afterwards.
