When approaching the turnstile please have the child’s pass ready first. Scan that digital pass and let them go through the turnstile before scanning and entering on your own pass.

Please ensure you charge your phone before arriving at the stadium.
For supporters with an iPhone, make sure that you have set up either a passcode, FaceID or Touch ID on your device as one of these is needed to use your digital ticket.
- Before arriving to the turnstiles open the digital pass by either tapping on the notification on your lock screen or selecting it directly in the Wallet app.
- Once at the turnstile, scan the QR Code on your digital pass at the turnstile. If you have multiple passes stored on your iPhone, simply scan the QR Code on the first one, swipe to the next pass and once again scan the QR Code on the reader.
