Is it possible to turn up on the day and buy at the turnstiles or are sales strictly online-only? I've some work to do on Saturday and, if it goes well, I should be finished by 14:00 and so have just enough time to get to the ground. If it goes less well, I obviously won't...

Yes, I looked at the tickets section on the website but couldn't see an obvious answer.

I'm sure I've seen paper tickets still being used - I suspect you might have to go to the ticket office beforehand though asl.

I did see a tweet this morning saying seated tickets are nearly sold out.

As far as I am aware, tickets have to be picked up at the kiosk, before proceeding to the turnstile

You can't buy at the turnstile, but you can buy on the day from the ticket booth.

I'm pretty sure you can buy online right up to kick off, though I've never actually tried it. So, as long as you have a smart phone, internet connection etc you can get a QR code to you add to your digital wallet without the need to queue.

Sorry...secondary question, if I may? I've never used the iFollow service: is it relatively straightforward to take that up for the first time with an hour's notice?

The iFollow service is easy to set up but you won't be able to watch a 3pm Saturday game from in the U.K. because of the broadcasting rules.

Unless you somehow make the system think you are accessing from another country.

Which is the reason why the club took these measures on the 8th September.

Unless you know something I don’t you’ll find that won’t work. Or at least not particularly well.

Last time I used a VPN it worked but it was some time ago. I believe other regular posters on here have done so successfully this season.

Well, in the interests of asl actually getting to see the game properly he's probably better off heeding my post than yours because I know of at least one poster on here who has had difficulties watching in the U.K. using a VPN this season and last.

No issues my end for the away matches I've been unable to attend, including last weekend.

That's my intention - unfortunately, I'm dependent on an off-shore DBA team not fookin' up my system like they've done nine times out of ten in last year. The irritating thing is, I have 25 years more Oracle experience than any of them and often have to give them keystroke-by-keystroke instructions because I'm not allowed DBA access to the database.

Thanks for all the answers, chaps. Hopefully, I'll be there.

Perhaps send Sprout a DM with the service you use.

It'd be interesting to know for future reference not that it's usually an issue as I'm abroad anyway.
