Valencia CF and LALIGA have teamed up to introduce NFC technology at Mestalla stadium, making it easier for VCF Socio season ticket holders to enter the stadium. Starting from May 5th during the match between Valencia CF and Deportivo Alavés, fans will be able to use their digital pass at the turnstiles. Previously, the club offered season tickets digitally through QR codes, but now they are switching to contactless NFC technology.
This innovative system allows tickets to be stored on mobile devices such as phones or smartwatches and scanned at the turnstiles. By scanning the circular icon on the contactless reader, fans will gain access to the stadium. This eliminates the need for physical tickets, reducing the risk of loss or theft while ensuring smoother entry at stadium access points.
The physical 2023/24 season tickets are multi-season, valid for the current season and the next two. For those without NFC-enabled devices, the current digital pass also includes a QR code for entry. To download the NFC passbook, fans can access the Member Portal, log in, click on ‘Download Digital Pass’, and follow the instructions provided via email.
It is important to note that only the first entry to the stadium for each game will be accepted, with subsequent attempts not allowed. Fans may be asked for identification at the turnstiles, and resale of tickets to third parties is strictly prohibited. The club reserves
