Tickets Going Digital

[Kyle82]

Haven’t seen this discussed yet and just wondering what everyone’s reaction is to this.   Last season we had the option to use our paper tickets or go to our PSL Account and download the bar code to our phones for entry into the stadium.  This year it doesn’t look like we are given that option. The Panthers are even offering tutorial classes on this next week.

I guess it's for security reasons and maybe to cut down on counterfeit tickets, but it is possible to have problems acquiring them involving a smartphone. Phones do crash, I had one do it a few years ago and had to replace it. One instance last year where I had digital tickets, my phone app temporarily lost them. I was pretty concerned for awhile. They did reappear, thankfully.

I think it's pretty standard and a lot of sports teams are going this route.  It helps eliminate confusion and counterfeits.  A little extra hassle, but overall better for security.

So I guess we will no longer see ticket scalpers selling tickets outside the stadium anymore, right?

Thank you for keeping us all informed. This is excellent for our riders. Thanks to you, we can let them know. You are the best

Eticketing is good and convenient, and you can always just print it out if you’re worried about your phone dying by the time you get to the turnstile.

They wont accept printed tickets. That's the difference  if you have issues you go to the stadium ticket office.

This is quickly becoming the mainstay for venues of any entertainment type.

I'll be surprised if in 5 years any major entertainment venue is still using paper tickets.

Urgh, so it’s an app-only code? That’s not good.

There was something just so great about getting that ticket package in the mail...it was like Christmas Day plus having a souvenir.  Oh well.   The parking passes are still mailed

Will be interesting to see how this affects the resale market. 

It won't, I sold some mobile only concert tickets on Stubhub the other day. Really easy process, you just won't see scalpers outside the stadium anymore.

So you have to have a smartphone to attend games??
