Mobile Ticketing: Downloading Your NFC Ticket

By: Watford FC Staff

Watford FC fans can now use Apple Wallet or Google Pay to store their NFC (Near-Field Communication) matchday and season tickets.

Our push towards a contactless stadium is driven by a wish to:

  • Reduce ticket touting; something many supporters expressed their displeasure to us about in recent years.
  • Be COVID compliant; a move away from the handling of materials such as cards, paper tickets and envelopes.
  • Make the most of our new ticket partner SeatGeek; instructions from your online ticketing account now drive turnstile access and greater flexibility with purchases.

Please see below for a video tutorial and written instructions of how to add your ticket to Apple Wallet or Google Pay.
