Trial
Status:
Completed
Manchester City handed out phones to a handful of season ticket holders, enabling them to enter the stadium with a tap on contactless readers at the gate.
NFC Times Take:
One of the first NFC trials in the UK. Manchester City had been rolling out contactless cards three years earlier. Plans for loyalty and payment applications as part of a hoped-for NFC rollout have yet to materialize.
* Trusted Service Manager: Defined loosely to include companies or other organizations securely distributing, provisioning and managing applications, generally over the air, on secure elements in NFC mobile phones; or licensing their platforms for this purpose.
