Just seen this on the Wigan Warriors site:- http://www.wiganwarriors.com/WContent.aspx?id=229 Looks like most clubs are going down the route of tailoring a ticket for different types of supporters..

Stop adults getting in with kids cards too which happens if there's nobody on the gate and it's just a machine.

Why do they need a chip in though? Just use regular turn styles and flash the card rather than hand over a piece of paper?

If its same system we use at Bradford it will be a printed card with a unique barcode on it. Turnstile operators have handheld scanners and just scan the barcode. No chip or magnetic strip to get damaged and because everyone has a unique barcode club knows exactly which tickets have been used at matches and use the info in marketing emails etc. we had doubts about it when it came in but in reality it's been a good system and can't recall any issues with it.

Thanks for that Mat. That was what my perception of the card system was. Sounds good.

I think security wise its also a good move by the club. We will know exactly who and how many are in the Wheldon Road end.

Just got my brother a bronze membership for Xmas...he'll probably be more giddy about the discounts at the food outlets in Xscape but its more money in the pot

Looking at the Wigan membership - the idea of bolts on seems a very good idea especially the electronic programs. No printing costs, no left over post game. Excluding the costs of design its basically a 100% margin.

Re: Memberships : Wed Oct 31, 2012 1:34 pm  

Brilliant idea from the Wigan club and surely the way forward.
