If that digital ST is anyrhing like the curremt QR codes, it will be a carcrash and make the queues 10x worse
You will be able to add it to Apple Wallet or Google Pay. My ticket for Saturday was on Apple Wallet and it worked perfectly.
If you can't attend a game, I wonder if you will be able to 'share' the digital season ticket from your Apple Wallet with a family member or friend ?
4. Season tickets are NON-transferrable. Should a season-ticket holder not be available to attend a match and wish a colleague/friend to attend, the season-ticket holder is to contact the Ticket Office, who will arrange for a paper ticket to be collected or send via email. This arrangement cannot be processed on a matchday. https://www.charltonafc.com/season-ticket-terms-conditions

Thanks Clive. Yes, I saw that provision, which I think also appears in the current 2024/25 T&Cs. I wonder how many (if any) season ticket holders bother to get in touch with the ticket office, rather than handing their season ticket card to a friend or family member for a match they can't attend ? My hunch is that this provision is more honoured in the breach than the observance.

I have some friends who share a season ticket but don't live near enough to keep swapping the physical card. For a while they were relying on printing at the ticket office before the game but there's massive variation in terms of what info they ask for each time, and whether or not they charge you a small fee for printing off a ticket. Over the past couple of weeks we've realised that emailing is much, much easier - they send over an e-ticket by email and it saves the hassle on the day.

We scrapped that provision in the late 1990s because it was unenforceable and undesirable - it’s not a railway season ticket; you can only use it 23 times a year. If I buy a match ticket I can’t use, why shouldn’t I give it to a mate? Meire reinstated it.
It gets a bit more complicated with concessions, which is where the club has a legitimate interest in stopping adults using child tickets, etc, and places an onus on the club to manage the issue at the turnstiles which they don’t really want.
In reality, you’d be nuts to waste your time contacting the ticket office to change an adult for an adult or other like for like and I doubt anyone does.
Obviously depends on how we implement , but I have been given tickets for other all digital clubs. You can transfer them the official way (the ST holder registers you, so you have a fan ID then formally transfers so you get an email and download) but most opt for the unofficial whereby you can screenshot a QR and just send to friends. For clubs that sell out they also allow you to sell back your season ticket to the club online if you can’t attend - perhaps not an issue for us in the immediate future !
Depends on how advanced the digital ST is, some gig tickets refresh a QR code every minute, if the ST is like that, it will be very hard just to transfer.
Yeah would be a QR code, I assume that you could add to the wallet on your phone like a train ticket
Will only be quicker if there’s a separate turnstile.
Think you’re probably right. The QR codes work well on match day tickets (when the user knows what they’re doing) but can’t imagine it’s any quicker than a card. It’s more a convenience thing, can’t drop a digital ticket and leave it behind by accident
Or put your ticket in your trousers, and then put them in the washing machine...
As a technophobe, I have to ask what one of those is?
A friend of mine is a season ticket holder at Spurs with her lad, earlier this season when they couldn’t go we had her tickets. Had to sign up for a free Spurs account but once I gave her our I.D number she sent the tickets over and they were available on my phone so this must be something Charlton can do as well surely?
I think they’re changing that next season though and you have to have a paid membership to be able to receive.

3 renewed, I should be able to gown down stairs fine by the time the season starts so won't be a waste like this seasons was. And I should have moved back over that way by the end of August too.

If it works like all other Apple Wallet tickets (trainline etc...) then yes you will.
Clive rightly corrects me on the process!
