Through a combination of moving house, working in Glasgow It's been too long since I've been able to attend ER. I dropped the wife&kids off to watch Snoopy and hit ER about 2:25 and saw the queues.
I'd ready all you needed to know about e-ticketing (link below) but didn't find any answer on whether a barcode from a smart phone would work (although I recall reading a thread about this here a while back)
http://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/6013
So I started to ask around the security guys - no one knew (all polite and trying to help as best they could I may add).
I spoke with a couple - one referred me on to the head supervisor. They were a bit cagey said it should work but it might not (which I suppose is why it's not documented as an option). I said if I gave it a go and it didn't work could I speak to someone - I was told I'd have to go back and see the head.
So I took a punt. I took the barcode magnified it a bit and after about 3-4 attempts it worked! - as with the printout sometimes there's a knack.
My point was - and I made it to the security head if this option worked it would potentially be a way of reducing the queues a bit (I know not everyone has a smartphone)
Message for me is if I was a walk up and saw horrendous queues it would be worth a punt. And I wonder if the club would consider giving this option a trial?
Only gripe was for some reason I couldn't select the section (12) I wanted so MattyF was spared my banter for a game ;)
