Stadium Management SA SMSA chief executive Bertie Grobbelaar says theres no turning back on the era of digital tickets, while admitting that the new ticketing system implemented at FNB Stadium last week to eradicate match-day fraud experienced teething problems.
SMSA came under fire last week when its new system experienced hiccups at the turnstiles when Kaizer Chiefs hosted Golden Arrows at FNB Stadium, leading to frustration among fans, who told Sowetan they feared there could be a stampede should there be bigger crowds at the venue.
But Grobbelaar said his company was working hard to eliminate the cited problemssuch as an insufficient number of scanners, which led to long queues delaying fans entry to the stadium.
