NFC tickets in Grapheneos

Quick question on Google Wallet and NFC tickets.

I've searched through the forums so I am aware that NFC payments do not work on Google Wallet within Graphene OS even if you install sandboxed Google services. However, I cannot find any information on whether NFC tickets work on Google Wallet within Graphene OS.

Is it all NFC that doesn't work on Google Wallet or just NFC payments? If it is all NFC, then is there an alternate app that simply caters for NFC tickets that works within Graphene OS?

Thanks for any help in advance.

In some countries some backing apps support using NFC fort payments without Google wallet. That will work work on GOS.

Similarly PayPal is trialling a competitor to Google wallet and that works on GOS too (currently being trialled in Germany only though)

redfoxjumper Thanks for replying.

I'm not really concerned about being able to pay for things through Google Wallet. This essentially would only mean that I wouldn't have to carry a card, which is hardly any weight.

There are, however, certain events where you get an NFC ticket as standard. This obviously has to be held within a wallet app and so I was checking whether the NFC actually works with Google Wallet on GOS and it was just the NFC payments that didn't work.

Made an account to ask this question. Looking over some last things before pulling the trigger on switching over. I've accepted that Google pay will likely not work for me, but I already carry my cards with me so it's no big deal.

But yes I attend a fair amount of events that add tickets to Google wallet. If these don't function correctly it may be difficult for me to attend. If anyone has an answer on this it would be greatly appreciated :)
