Season card arrived, shame they can't spell 'seat' 
I haven’t got any colour ink. Will that make a difference?
I’ve not received anything as yet.

Bin VAR!
Ours arrived half four this afternoon.

No red ink = no entry to ground.
You aren't the only one who hasn't got their's yet. It wouldn't be too difficult to guess who also hasn't and is having a panic on X

I wasn't around for his problems! It's our usual ticket worrier, Hannah. Thankfully it has arrived now though

So if I understand this correctly there is absolutely no reason why you can't forward this barcode on?
If it's genuinely a static QR code as they say (and tbh that is the easiest option for them to implement so it's probably correct) - then yes there's no technical reason why doing so wouldn't work. I'm slightly surprised they're not using rolling codes as that locks it down so much more.
The only reason why you wouldn't, or couldn't forward it are firstly that you'd need to have full trust in the person - if the QR code remains the same all season then that person could in theory abuse it and you'd be the one on the hook. Or secondly and perhaps more problematic is that if the club spot you're sharing the ticket (and they have been more proactively looking for this in the past couple seasons) then they'll likely revoke the ST.
Personally it's not a risk I'd take other than maybe as a very occasional one off. But then I don't have a ST any more.

Thanks, that's how I understand it. I really thought they would implement the rolling barcodes, unless of course Forest haven't got the infrastructure in place yet to do it.

Forest blamed Royal Mail for losing my Season Card.I wasn't around for his problems! It's our usual ticket worrier, Hannah. Thankfully it has arrived now though
I had to go to the ticket office the first three home games with a code so they could give me a paper ticket to get to my seat. That was in the Championship and thankfully it wasn’t too busy.

Sorry if I've missed this obvious question, but can you download your season card on more than one device?
Yes you can.
The Ts and Cs and FAQ's say you are able to load and store your card on multiple devices.
However. you're not permitted to forward your card to another person unless you transfer via the club's platform to another member or through the official resale process.
The club say that transfers will only be permitted once a game has sold out. They also said that last year . Yet often opened the possibility not a sale or transfer, well before a game sold out .
The club don't address the sharing of cards situation of family members and friends buying a season card between them and then deciding between themselves who goes when .
Illegal transfer of season cards is a hot PL topic. Scouse have made a big point of banning hundreds of touts. Man United in hot water with families saying that they have their cards suspended as illegal transfers are investigated.

Presume that for us , when you use your card at the turnstile , the reader identifies both your QR code and your device. So they will spot if your card is being used across the season by multiple devices.
Should you share your card with another by allowing them to download it to their phone, then the ticket office wouldn't know who owned the device , so you would be fine.
And should you download the ticket to a burner phone and then loan the phone on temporary basis, the club wouldn't know who was attending. So while in breach of ts and cs with associated penalties, not sure how they would police.

And how would the reader identify your device?
It cannot, from a simple QR code (which is what I’m assuming Forest are using?)
The only way to identify a specific device would be via NFC, and f*** me this is Forest we‘re talking about, I very much doubt the turnstiles have NFC readers available!
1: It's only problematic if they deem it to be a problem.Yes you can.

You have an adult season ticket. You can't go to the game. You let your trusted adult friend download the QR code.
They go to the game, sit in the seat, cause no problems, go home - what's the problem. There isn't one.
It's a static QR code (which in 2026 for something like this is ludicrous)
It's on your phone as a convenience only.
It'll work off a piece of paper.
Hell, you could stencil it on the side of a swan and scan that and it'd let you in.
You might get a funny look off the turnstile operator but a QR code is just a QR code.
Rolling ones are nothing hugely special either.
Depending on your level of sophistication, on the device (your phone) you can simply append the UNIX time to the qr's content ( the QR base content is a plain number in NFFC Season Tickets's case) and cause that timestamp number to be refreshed every 30 seconds at 00 and 30 past the minute, and then re-code and display the new QR.
The scanner sees the base QR number, and the UNIX time appended on the end - checks if the timestamp is valid against the current time, then strips that timecode out and reads the base QR code and allows you access.
There are other ways of making rolling QRs but fundamentally a QR code is just a QR code.
If they want to get technical then they'd put a camera or two in the turnstile area and grab your biometrics and tie that to the season ticket. That'd tell 'em immediately if the regular person is the person scanning, but I think there might be just the tiniest bit of pushback against that.
A static QR code is ripe for problems.
Next time you're in the queue at the turnstiles, look around and see how many people round you have their phone showing the QR code full screen, nice and bright...
I bet you could photograph it.
It's just a static QR code.
That photograph is someone else's season ticket.
Valid for the whole season.
But if you get to the turnstile first with that code, you're in.
Or you can sell it. And it's THEIR problem not yours.
A simple rolling code stops that in less than 30 seconds.
Assuming Forest and Forest ticketing are reading these boards (we know you do...good morning!), you could maybe have a think about this.
Static code for 8 months, 19 instances...daft. Make it a rolling one. Or make it re-code after each game at the very least.

I might head off for the first game now as you just know Forest will find a way to make a mess of this the first game or two.
The good old fashioned season cards were NFC.....
The Premier League in its infinite wisdom has outlawed that.

I get the whole ticket touting element of this, but there are fans up and down the country who share season cards amongst family and in actual fact often can't afford to buy separate season tickets. There's a family of four who sit next to me, but they only have two season cards. Sometimes the Dad goes, sometimes the Mum and then the kids share it amongst themselves. The club aren't missing out on anything if someone else uses the season card. I understand why there is a strict approach to away tickets, but if someone wants to give a family member their season card to attend a couple of matches and in doing so, they risk a potential ban, then it's come to something!
Thing is the PL guidance specifically includes NFC as a valid option within the Digital Tickets requirement. It's the physical card that they've said no to.
So the club could still use NFC via digital wallets on a phone, but I guess they've decided that's too complicated for the staff and probably plenty of fans to deal with.

They were Flaggers. It was always important to check every voucher in the booklet on receipt to ensure none were missing. Also, being careful not to unwittingly rip-out two vouchers at the turnstile.
Agree
Sharing SC's with friends and family is generally a good thing . Helps folk who can't make full financial outlay themselves or have commitments that make 100% attendance challenging.
But the Ts and Cs can be interpreted as saying it can result in bans or SC's forfeited.
