novice questions re google wallet / concert tickets ?

Hi all

Going to a concert this weekend, got tickets via O2 Priority/ Ticketmaster.
Obviously they dont send you physical tickets, they are QR codes on my O2 Academy app- it recommends to save them to phone in case of network issues at the venue....

So, i have downloaded Google Wallet app and saved the tickets onto that ok.

Do i have to enable NFC ?  as i wont actually be making any payments, just showing the QR codes at the venue,  and will the Google Wallet enable me to present the QR codes ok at the venue, even if i have zero 4G or WiFi connectivity ?

I wont be using the wallet to pay for stuff ,  i see plenty of folks doing that, im a bit old fashioned in preferring to pay by cards or cash......
