Curt Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 http://prod.static.bills.clubs.nfl.com/assets/pdf/Mobile-Ticketing-Instructions-2018.pdf As season holders I don't know if we will still be getting the cards but pdf tickets are no longer an option. I and the people who I am giving/selling tickets to will need to play with our freaking smartphones. It was so much easier to email the tickets or print and mail them. Definitely harder for people like me who are a bit older. We need to download the App My one Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 UGH, I had that with my tix to Atlanta last year. Not only do you need to have the app, but there was a problem with my settings. The first 3 phone calls were unproductive, but the last guy knew his stuff. Something about allowing location I think. PITA! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Nails Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 And Jacksonville for the playoff game- it sucked 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 I am definitely not happy about the change and I wish I'd been told before the renewal (Not that it would have changed my decision). I guess that I need to get familiar with the latest technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plan early,if you know you won't be attending a game,donate the tickets to The Big Brothers & Sisters of Buffalo organization.They will be more than happy to make the transfer a easy one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 My son recently bought 2 tix on line for a concert. They were bogus so he lost about $120. The cops were all over it, even came back into the venue (after he bought REAL tickets) and wanted screen shots from his purchase. Apparently they are trying to clamp down on the bad behavior, but I don’t see it ever going back to the old days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) Just an example. I have 4 seats. We normally enter all together but sometimes 2 want to go to the Bills Store or the field house just before we get into the stadium. If the 4 tickets are in my phone how am I supposed to handle that? In the past I'd have just given them their tickets/cards/pdf. PITA indeed. Edited April 19, 2018 by Curt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanbillsfan2206 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 So I can’t print tickets from stubhub? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 Just now, Seanbillsfan2206 said: So I can’t print tickets from stubhub? That's my understanding. You will need to download the Apps. Open an account (Free) then wait for the seller to email you the tickets. Then they will be on your phone. If you buy more than one ticket and your friends are not entering the stadium with you, you guys will need to do the same thing (Download Apps, register and transfer). Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I hate this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have the apps but I’m old fashioned and just like having an actual ticket to scan... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sullim4 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I dealt with this for the Chargers game. Let me be the first one to tell you that it sucks, a lot. If you want to buy tickets off of stubhub, you have to sign up for an account with the team, sometimes Ticketmaster. The site then recognizes you as a season ticket account holder. You then have to accept the ticket from the seller and download a mobile app to access your ticket. This actually assumes that the seller follows these steps correctly; my first seller did not and I had to call Stubhub to get another set of tickets due to non-delivery. It makes resale 1000x more difficult with no real benefit to the customer - just the team. It is odd that the NFL, which is concerned with declining attendance, would make it more difficult to fill the stadiums with paying customers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemac2001 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 On Apple it’s not that hard it downloads. Wallet file similar to a pdf and you can share via text email now I haven’t used the one Buffalo app but should be same I’ve used tickets this way for years 26 minutes ago, sullim4 said: I dealt with this for the Chargers game.

Yes i I had to do that for the jags game and it was confusing but my seller sent me them right away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills1955 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Another option (if you have 4 people) is to take a screenshot on your phone, save it to photos & then message it to the others in your party so they have it on their phone. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My nightmare for the end of American society is that another country, (China, Russia, North Korea) hits us with a giant electromagnetic pulse from a space satellite which makes all of our computers, cell phones, etc useless and they just come in and take over because we can't do anything without them.

Stubhub and the ticket brokers also hold a great deal of influence at this point. Concerts practically sell out on Ticketmaster before ever going on sale these days. The resale business is influential, and huge in its own right. No one wants to stop it at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zonabb Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 And surely with it you'll have to cough up ALL your personal data, information, and location in the user license. More ways technology is being used to make things "better" but really is being used to make companies money harvesting and selling your personal information. I guess if you're the two guys next to me in my section, in their late 60s, who don't even have phones but have been STH for decades, you're no longer welcome unless you plop $500 down for a phone and buy a monthly service. Real cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
