Oyster Card query

[GloverMart]

Hi all, excuse the daft questions but here goes.

My lads and I are doing a charity trip in April, visiting all 92 Premier and Football League clubs. The vast majority of it will obviously be done by car but we were planning on doing the London ones via tube and train. I'm looking at the TfL website and giving myself a headache, hence posting here.

The itinerary is such that we will be heading from Barnet to Wembley on the Tuesday before staying the night in Finchley. Then in the morning, we whizz around Spurs, Arsenal, Leyton Orient, West Ham, Charlton, Millwall, Crystal Palace & Wimbledon, then stopping in Sunbury. Finally on Thursday, we head for the four West London clubs then back along the M4.

It looks like I have to pay a £20 admin fee for each card as my lads are sixteen and will need a Zip photocard. Add another £20 for me and thyat's £60 before I load it up with PAYG credit. Am I reading this right or have I cocked up?

Visitor Oyster Card.


£3 plus top-up

If you've got a contactless credit or debit card each then you're all set. They automatically cap so you won't pay more than a day travelcard for each day you use it.

Zip not worth it unless you'll be saving at least that much on fares.

Thanks guys. My debit card isn't contactless so I'll probably go for the Visitor Oyster card. It suggests putting on £15 credit for two days travelling so that looks like my best option.

Apple Pay works just like Oyster too

Apple Pay of android whatever on your phone if your card isn't contactless. It is the cheapest way to travel around. If you do buy an oyster then you can go £3 in debit on it as you paid that for the card
