New way of access to Camp Nou Barcelona: „from now on, mobile is just the ticket”

Fans of FC Barcelona are now able to use their smartphones instead of paper tickets to gain access to the Nou Camp stadium. The Spanish club has launched the Mobile Ticket project, a service that allows fans and members to store match tickets or Camp Nou Experience tickets on their iPhone or Android device.

Fans download the relevant app – Passbook for iPhone and iPod, or PassWallet for Android tablets and phones – and then store the tickets, bought online at the club’s official website, in the app. When they arrive at the stadium, the QR code provided with the Mobile Ticket is scanned at the turnstile, giving them access to the match.

See how it works in the video below:

„The Mobile Ticket scheme is practical and very simple to use. Once you have downloaded the application according to you mobile device operating system (Passbook for iPhone and iPod orPassWallet for Android tablets and phones), you simply follow the instructions.”, according to press release.

Didac Lee, Barça director responsible for New Technologies, places this project within the Club’s desire globally to offer services to fans and members: “The objective in the area of technology is to bring the Club closer to members and fans and we believe the mobile is the most useful tool to do this, because it is within everybody’s reach and it opens us the possibility of making this relation easier. The Mobile Ticket scheme is an example of how technology can make access to the ground easier and more comfortable, and it is not the only service of this type. Soon we will be announcing new functions for mobile devices that will allow fans and members to improve their experience with the Club.”

This service is now fully functional to use for matches at Camp Nou and for the Camp Nou experience.
