Smart cards.

[southwickseagull]

Does anyone know where the chip thingy is on the smart cards, ie where is the bit that gets read on the turnstiles? I cant see anything!

 

[Everest]

Has your's not been put on?

 

[Triggaaar]

Mine looks just like on my bank card

 

[clippedgull]

What?? No chips at the Amex??

 

[albionite]

You just hover the card over the scanner.....no chips involved

Can anyone see on the ticketing website where you put credits on. I've finally got in, but cannot see where you would add credit.

The instructions say "visit online ticketing and clkick on the smartcard image" eh can't find it...

Smart Card Top Ups

same problem for me

Ah, I found it in the end. It's under "Fans" on the mail website page, NOT in the online ticketing. It says "E-cash topup".

But... it won't let you login at the moment, even though I was definitely using the same password as the ticketing page. The above explains, if it is from the Spurs game onwards, but nice for things to be easy explained and not at all confusing. Does this mean we won't get discounts if we want to get a shirt tomorrow, I wonder?

It's either RFID (radio frequency identification) or NFC (near field communication)

Pardon

a tiny radio transmitter. Info can be stored, updated and read from an RFID tag's microchip.

The tag's antenna receives electromagnetic energy from an RFID reader's antenna (like an electric toothbrush that gets charged up by sitting on it's stand)

The tag can get power from an internal battery or from the reader's electromagnetic field, and then the tag sends radio waves back to the reader.

The reader picks up the tag's radio waves.

near the back of recent passports you'll probably see one

Perhaps Gus should get in the ticketing office and give the guys a few motivational words. They should try emailing us to keep us up to date; putting notices on the web site to avoids fans all calling for information; drop tweets through with the bhafc hashtag; give NSC the inside track.

For example - the ecash top up that is under fans rather than the online ticketing is now just crashing. Not surprising as all the ST's have gone out at the last minute and now thousands are trying to top up at the same time.

Still - cracking stadium, brilliant manager, great team, exciting times.

 

[Peterrhodes]

My tickets and parking tickets have still not arrived! are there many people still in this position??

 

[seagullondon]

just see you breaking your card looking for a chip!

If we can't top up the card yet, what happens when I want to kit myself and junior 16bha tomorrow? Will we still be able to get the credit put on the card?

I'm sure the shop takes, debit, credit and cash, just like normal...probably amex too!

Why all the flappery about this card - on this thread and others....get with the program peeps....smart cards are the future!!
