why would a screenshot not be allowed?  Don't they just scan them at the gate?

 

Screenshot is same as wallet.

 

I always screenshot tickemaster event tickets.  never a problem anywhere else

Well I use the Ticketmaster app, but I guess you could just leave the browser up too.  It's even less hassle than having to waste ink printing stuff.

If you have an iPhone put them in your Apple wallet. You don’t need an internet connection to access them there.

Maybe blame your carrier for having crappy and overloaded service near the stadium gates. ;)

When you have 70,000 people in a place that doesnt normally have 70,000 people, the cell service gets shot. Everybody is either pulling up their tickets, checking their fantasy team, or posting selfies online. I wish they'd have non-mobile gate lines available since i have season ticket card.

They just have to work out some very crucial details, imagine it breaking down before the first home playoff game

Best part of this story is that for all the ticket technology and modern security, the situation was resolved with good-old fashion sneaking in.

For all the guys giving him grief about screenshots, I think I heard on WGR the other day that the tickets are using technology now that refreshes every 15 seconds, so a screenshot will not work.

We were fine for a reason.  OP didn't do what we did.  Don't put words in our mouth when you don't know what you're talking about.

Ya keep the browser open and as a backup go ahead and download another browser like Chrome and load them up on there as well 

Expand  

Y’all do know you can have multiple tabs open in the same browser, right? Also, that you can download the tickets to your Apple wallet so that you don’t have to worry about internet?

 

the bills literally sent out a notification through their app this morning regarding this

Yes it does. It doesn’t refresh every 15 seconds, it only refreshes If you screenshot it.

If the wallet isn't refreshing every 15 second , how does it let you get in to the game?

Went to the game today with tickets purchased on NFL ticket exchange. Our phones couldn’t connect to the internet near the gates to pull up the tickets. The employees at the gates were zero help...and several people had the same issue as screenshots of tickets are no longer allowed. We literally just snuck in and found our seats. How they don’t have some other system in place for when the internet is slow is maddening.

there is it is called putting the tickets in your wallet on your phone so they can update. Only was talked about all week

Because it doesn’t have to. If you’re using the app, there isn’t even a barcode or QR code to begin with. It works like Apple Pay where you just hold the phone up to the reader

Yeah....I hate this mobile ticket only bull####. If you want to go mobile that's fine, but you should also have the option of using a paper ticket. 

Expand  

So you can't use paper tickets anymore? It HAS to be mobile? When did this happen?

Posted (edited)

I saw an older couple struggle with electronic phone tickets at a Major League Baseball game.  Electronic tickets on a phone are not for everyone.  Some people don’t understand all the technology changes and subtleties.  

 

Bring back paper for those that prefer it.

 

This is a time when we accommodate everyone and everything so this should not happen.
