"Bayern Munich are officially going paperless for their tickets moving forward. The digital experience will now look like an app-based ticket wallet that can be scanned at the turnstiles at the stadium entrance. This also means that Apple Wallet and Google Wallet will no longer be supported for stadium access."
"This will ensure a uniform system for Allianz Arena tickets and ensure reliability for fans who know what they are getting when they buy their tickets. As someone who has bought resale tickets many times, it is possible that the reseller doesn't accurately describe the tickets and you end up trying to scan in a child's ticket. Not a fun situation to be in."
"On top of this, there are cases of those who list a particular ticket for sale, and share the document once you purchase. At the end of the day though it is a scanned piece of paper and there is no certainty that the reseller who sold you that ticket, won't just scan it themselves, as they would still have a copy."
"While it might create some difficulties, it should hopefully remove any situations where a fan spends thousands to come and watch a game at the Allianz Arena, and end up getting scammed. Let's see how this works next season."
Bayern Munich will issue paperless tickets that function as an app-based ticket wallet. Fans will scan these tickets at turnstiles when entering the stadium. Apple Wallet and Google Wallet will no longer be supported for stadium access. The change reduces paper use and aims to create a uniform ticket system for Allianz Arena. It is intended to improve reliability for buyers by reducing mismatches and scams involving resale tickets. Resellers may misdescribe tickets, leading to problems at entry, including attempting to scan the wrong ticket. Sharing documents after purchase can also allow resellers to retain copies and potentially scan them again. The move is expected to prevent fans from paying large sums and arriving to find they were scammed.
