Valencia CF and LALIGA have announced that they will be introducing NFC technology at Mestalla to streamline the entry process for season ticket holders. This new system will allow fans to use their digital passes on their mobile devices, such as phones or smartwatches, to scan at the turnstiles with a circular icon on the contactless reader.
The transition to NFC passbooks will begin on Sunday, May 5th during the match between Valencia CF and Deportivo Alavés. Previously, season tickets were available digitally through QR codes but this new system eliminates the need for physical tickets, reducing the risk of loss or theft and ensuring smoother access to the stadium.
For fans without NFC-compatible devices, the digital pass also includes a QR code for entry. To download the NFC passbook, fans should visit the Member Portal at https://portaldelsocio.valenciacf.com, log in with their ID and PIN, click on ‘Download Digital Pass’ and follow the instructions sent via email. It is important for fans to remember the terms of use such as only one entry permitted per game, possible identification checks at the turnstiles and prohibition of selling tickets to third parties.
Valencia CF aims to enhance the matchday experience for its loyal season ticket holders and ensure a more efficient and secure entry process at Mestalla with this new NFC technology in place.
