How to Scan your Mobile Ticket

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

More than one mobile ticket can be loaded to one smart phone (although each mobile ticket can only be loaded once). If your child or anyone in your group does not have a mobile device with (Mobile Wallet) or NFC capability, we would recommend loading their ticket to your smart phone.

When accessing 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 child's ticket ready first, scan that mobile ticket and let the child go through the turnstile before scanning and entering on your own mobile ticket.
