They might be firing blanks on the pitch judging by last weekend’s match against Chelsea, but Manchester City are leading the Premiership in one regard: they’ve become the first club to offer radio frequency (RF) enabled mobile ticketing, scanning fans’ phones rather than tearing their paper tickets.
Cool stuff. But hang on a minute. “Those wanting to take advantage of the mobile service will have to upgrade their phones to an RF-enabled Nokia device supplied by Man City.”
What if you don’t like Nokias? What if you’re happy with your current phone? What if, ooh I dunno, you won’t trust Man City to supply you with technology until they can supply you with a decent defence?
It seems a strange move to use the RFID technology, when they could use other forms of mobile ticketing that would work on the phones fans already own.
