Mobile Season Tickets

On approach to your entrance, locate your ticket within your Apple Wallet or Google Pay app.

At the turnstile, hold your phone against the contactless reader.

Please note, each ticket will only work once on the turnstile – it is not possible to pass your ticket onto anyone else once you have entered the stadium.

Ideally, each supporter would have their own mobile device however we do understand not everyone has a smart phone, particularly our younger supporters.

More than one ticket can be loaded to a single smart phone (although each ticket itself can only be loaded once). If anyone in your group does not have a smart phone, we would recommend loading their ticket to the device of someone in your group who does have a smart phone.

When accessing your tickets on your mobile device, you will be able to swipe left and right between different tickets to find the correct one to scan. When approaching the turnstile please have the other member’s ticket ready first. Scan that ticket and let them go through the turnstile before scanning and entering on your own ticket.

Any fixture changes will automatically update on your mobile Season Ticket.

Mobile tickets may be in use for certain away games for the 2021/22 season. This will be decided on a match-by-match basis by the respective away club with details communicated to supporters in due course as we approach away fixtures.

Please ensure that your mobile phone is fully charged before leaving for the stadium. The Club will be providing a mobile ticketing support pod at the stadium, with mobile phone charging ports available. Please note: there are a limited number of charging ports and we ask you to only use them if you genuinely need to re-charge your phone to access your mobile ticket.

Your mobile tickets will not have your name displayed on the ticket. If you have more than one mobile ticket downloaded to your device, the owner's name and supporter number can be found in the 'additional information' section in the wallet card.

Apple users- this can be found by clicking on the three dots in the top right-hand corner of the screen above the ticket.

Android users- this can be found by clicking on the 'details' button directly below the ticket.

If you have downloaded your mobile season ticket you will not be required to download this again at any point, unless you change your device. The ticket should state 'SEASON TICKET' under the club badge and show the fixture details of the next game. This will automatically update.

We’ll have a mobile ticketing support pod located at the stadium complete with phone charging stations and extra stewards to help you with any problems. Please note: there are a limited number of charging ports and we ask you to only use them if you genuinely need to re-charge your phone to access your mobile ticket. We’ll also have extra stewards at turnstiles to make sure your entry to the stadium is quick and easy.

Your mobile device does not require WIFI connectivity or signal on matchday as long as your Mobile Season Ticket is already in your Apple Wallet/Google Pay app prior to attending. If you need to re-download your Mobile Season Ticket at the stadium on matchday and you have issues with your data connection, you can join our free wifi by selecting Man City Wifi and clicking join, no registration needed.

You can manually refresh your Mobile Season Ticket using the below steps depending on the device that you have downloaded this to.

If you need to redownload your mobile season ticket to a new device or your mobile season ticket has disappeared from your device after updating your iOS software, please follow our FAQs.

A mobile ticket is a digital pass that can be stored within Apple Wallet or Google Pay on your smart phone or smart watch. Mobile Tickets use NFC (near field communication) technology and can be used for contactless entry into both the Etihad Stadium and Academy Stadium.

Models supported are original Apple Watch and later, all Face ID iPhones (facial unlocking) and all Touch ID iPhones (fingerprint unlocking) except iPhone 5. Please check here for further details on Apple devices. For android devices, click here.

Apple: All Face ID (facial unlocking) iPhones are supported. All Touch ID (fingerprint unlocking) iPhones are supported (with the exception of the iPhone 5). Mobile ticketing is also available on all Apple Watch models.

iPhones must be iOS 12 or above to download your mobile season ticket.

To check you have the most up-to-date operating system click here.

Android:  Phones must run the latest version of Android, where possible. Google Pay must be installed and up to date, and NFC must be enabled. Please check here for help updating your Android device if required. Mobile Season Tickets can be added to Android devices with NFC. Occasionally you will have a logo printed on the phone, or it will appear in your taskbar (when switched on). Otherwise, the best way to find if your phone has NFC is to find the settings for it on your phone.

• Open Settings.
• In the 'Search settings bar, type 'NFC'.
• Tap and turn on NFC.
• If you can't find NFC, your phone will not support Mobile Season Tickets.

Please ensure your Friends and Family list is up to date in your online account throughout the season. Ticket transfer is only available with mobile ticketing. Ticket Transfer is available for all Men's First Team and MCWFC Season Ticket holders. 

This is in addition to Ticket Exchange, which will work in the usual way allowing Season Ticket holders to list tickets for resale to other supporters. 

Once you have successfully downloaded your digital ticket, you will be able to view it at any time by opening the Google Pay app on your Android phone or the Apple Wallet on your iPhone.
