Which Android devices can be used for my Arsenal Digital ticket?
You must be running version 9 or higher for your Google Wallet to work. For information on how to check you software version and how to update it click here.
To use NFC tickets with Google Wallet on a Samsung device, you may need to set Google Wallet as the default payment app, as some Samsung devices may default to Samsung Wallet. You can verify this and make the change in your device's settings under "Connections" then "NFC and contactless payments," where you can select Google Pay as the default.
Most android devices should support NFC, however if your device does not, all Android digital passes will continue to contain a barcode on the back of the phone which can be scanned on the barcode scanner.
These barcodes will change every 20 seconds. This means supporters are not able to screenshot their tickets to enter the stadium.
