Satisfied with the response of fans to the government’s call to gradually adapt to the new system of entering stadiums with a digital ticket in Gov.gr Walletwhich will operate from today, was introduced by the Minister of Digital Governance, Dimitris Papastergiou.
“Around 10,000 fans spent their season tickets on Gov.gr.wallet (out of the approximately 80,000 lifetimes in total), this means that the process is progressing normally“, he emphasized, while pointing out that the new system and the old one will be operated in parallel for one month, that is, the fans will be given the necessary time to adjust until the end of the current season.
From September, the new entry method is expected to apply to the matches of other sports, such as basketball. He even stated that “for people over 67 years old there will be special care, so that the identification is done in the classic way“, while he stated that the transfer of single or season tickets is a matter for PAE and not for the Ministries of Sports and Digital Governance.
The minister reiterated that for any question that may arise, those interested can go to tickets.gov.gr in order to get all the information they need and added that the process is simple. Mr. Papastergiou noted that “citizens have already understood how to enter, as 220 thousand people have recently registered in the National Contact Registry, although 4.1 million Greeks are registered, while Gov.gr.Wallet has 105 thousand new downloads».
Let us remind you that in the case of minors under 15 years “we buy the ticket as we bought it and insert it into our own wallet“, while for those over 15 years of age, the minor himself will be able to register in the National Contact Registry and download the Gov.gr wallet.
Mr. Papastergiou emphasized that the goal is “to free the Greek police from the presence of hundreds of police officers at the stadiums. Without having to have police officers at the entrances to know who is entering the stadiums».
