Wrexham A.F.C. announced on Thursday, August 6, that its season‑ticket holders will receive digital membership cards via NFC technology, streamlining entry to the Racecourse Ground for the 2026/27 Championship season. The club’s final 2025 table placed them 7th in the Championship with 71 points, a record of 19W‑14D‑13L from 46 games and recent form DLWWL.
How does the new system work?
Supporters will get an email with a downloadable card that can be added to a phone’s digital wallet. Once stored, the card automatically updates with opponent, date and kick‑off time for each fixture. For fans buying tickets through the ballot, successful purchases are pushed directly onto the same digital card, showing seat number and match details. The NFC tap at the turnstiles replaces the old paper ticket, aiming to slash queuing times at both the gate and ticket office.
Why is this important for Wrexham A.F.C.?
The move aligns the club with modern ticketing trends and improves the match‑day experience for a growing fan base. By reducing physical ticket handling, the club also cuts costs and environmental impact. The Digital Ticketing FAQs on the official site provide step‑by‑step guidance, while the club’s Disability Access Officer will be on hand during drop‑in sessions on August 10‑12 to help supporters navigate the new system.
When can fans get help?
Drop‑in support sessions are scheduled at the Racecourse Ground: Monday, August 10, from 10 am to 4 pm; Tuesday, August 11, from 3 pm to 8 pm; and Wednesday, August 12, from 10 am to 4 pm. The club’s Disability Access Officer will assist during the first two dates. Fans unable to attend can email the ticket office or visit in person between 10 am and 5 pm, Monday to Friday. Note that the retail store will not handle digital ticket queries, and the ticket office will be closed over the weekend, with any enquiries answered at the start of the following week.
What about women’s season tickets?
The club clarified that the digital rollout currently applies only to men’s first‑team season‑ticket holders. Women’s season tickets will be distributed separately, with details to follow later in the week. This phased approach ensures a smooth transition while the club finalises the digital platform for all supporters.
What’s next for the club?
With the digital tickets set to go live before the first league game, Wrexham A.F.C. can focus on the on‑field challenge: they sit 24 points behind leaders Coventry in the title race, having scored 69 goals and conceded 65 this season (+4 goal difference). The club hopes the new technology will give fans a seamless experience as the team pushes for a higher league finish.
Stay tuned for updates on the digital rollout and any further announcements regarding women’s tickets and additional fan services.
