Right decision made. I'm going to the Panto instead.

So am I. I'm going to the match.

Oh wow, we do proper digital tickets now?

I just got mine through, I have the standard printable version but with a QR code, not a barcode. I also was able to add them to my Google wallet! What a time to be alive...

Look forward to your post around 5:30pm tomorrow about it being absolute chaos and nobody being able to get in.

Tinpot clubs.
Wednesday are miles bigger than Utd, always thought that.

Wednesday only managed slightly more for their Friday night game in the cup against us, and it wasn't -5c.

Lucky I'm chronically early so have not experienced the chaos!

Is it going to be a case of new year, new scanners at the CBS?

How long has this been a thing?

If only Greggs was still here to advise!

Beware, for the friendly games lots of people were experiencing trouble scanning the digi tickets. The trick is to set your phone brightness on full and don't try and rescale the QR code. Then the scanners work. For the Everton game I printed my ticket and it was fine.

Mind you weren't they going to upgrade the scanners?

The proof of the pudding is in the eating as they say.

Nice, I've never really had an issue getting in (digital/paper tickets). The QR code and an actual ticket in my Google wallet was a curve ball.

It's good to know the scanners can actually deal with QR codes!

Just saw the Cardiff goal last night. Can’t think of any of our available players who’d finish that, which is a worry because it wasn’t the hardest.

It won’t be -5 will it?

I heard that loads of SW fans bought their tickets for the 30 points/ £13 trade-off.They will not bother to travel.

Sheaf Utds first target is promotion, and Cardiff's survival , not a 3 Rd rate cup competition.

Its only been made third rate because of greed by the top clubs. It was once the greatest competition in the country until the greedy few started messing around with it.

Anyone know if this will be televised live anywhere?
