Printed a ticket for tonight's game off last night and there's a QR code in place of the barcode on it now.

When did they change that or have I got a faulty ticket?

Is it because the print at home ticket barcodes weren't very reliable because I've had a bit of grief with them in the past?

I'd ring the provider.

I was at the stadium on Tuesday and there are new scanners on the wall outside the turnstile

The old style barcode scanners are very limited, the newer style means that they can scan codes directly from a phone, or they should be able to. this was discussed earlier in the year so if they've changed then that should mean not having to print a physical ticket at all and just have a virtual one.

Virtual season passes are the way to go! Have it on my phone in case I forget it!

Thanks for your replies folks, the QR code worked perfectly, far better than the barcodes that they used to have on the tickets.
