Following the distribution of iFollow codes to season card holders on Tuesday evening, we would like to provide further clarity on a number of common questions raised by supporters.
On Tuesday, iFollow codes for our season card holders were distributed by email to supporters who had a valid email address assigned to their season card account, supporters who did not have an email address on their account will receive theirs in the post.
Once you receive your code, please click here for our step by step guide on how to redeem it and access your free pass.
We aim to resolve any issues well in advance of Saturday's game against Luton Town so we would ask all supporters to redeem their code and check their account works as soon as possible.

Q. I received my code from the club but I am having trouble logging in to iFollow, who do I contact?
- For issues logging in, you would need to contact the iFollow support team as the club does not have access to the individual details of those registered on iFollow. You can contact the support team by emailing ifollow@efl.com.

Q. I have received my code by email but I purchased more than one season card on my account, where are the others?
- If the supporters you purchased the season card for has their own email registered to their account, they will receive the code directly to their email.
- If this isn’t the case, then even though you purchased the season cards on your account, it doesn’t mean that your email is registered to each individual. An email needs to be assigned to each individual season card holder to them to receive their code via email. The likelihood is that those you have purchased season cards for alongside your own do not have an email registered to their individual account, especially if they are U11s or juniors. In this case, the codes will have been sent in the post to the address on their account. If they have not received it by midday on Friday please call the ticket office on 0344 856 1966 or email ticketoffice@pne.com.
