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

Expand  

Not sure. This is a college game, so I don't know if the same rules apply. But, on StubHub it's says instant mobile ticket and in the next screen it says "do not print"

You do in NYS.  The law is that they must provide paper alternate when asked but they do not limit how much they can charge.

 

My understand is Bills ticket office will print them out for $5 each and this proves this is not security or anything else but way to get extra money and try to redirect them to vendors who give them kickbacks and advertise on NFL.

It’s an NFL mandate to all the teams. The options to print tickets are there now because that IS the warning. Come next year, there will not be any options. It’s only on your phone. 

 

This was all confirmed by one of the Bills reps back in August. I spoke to her personally.

Travelling from abroad I am reliant on connecting my phone to wi fi but this was not working properly today at the stadium  ( I had no issues at the Giants game last week)..

 

Luckily I found an understanding lady at the ticket office that was able to trace my stubhub purchase via my photo ID and print off tickets for me..

 

Also, as mentioned, screenshot wasn’t an option as the bar code on my stub hub tix is constantly changing..

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.

Exactly. This will give them a heads up on some of their cell issues. I noticed today the stadium WiFi seemed better than it usually is. But that was IN the stadium. I’m not sure if it extends to the lots or the gates. 

 

My guess is they will perfect the process before next year. But make no mistake about it. It’s coming. The teams and league in general are sick of scalpers stealing money out of their pockets.

Where's his family in all of this? Momma Brown should take over and put him in his place. A good slap in the face and a couple of tears might help. To me, this has gotten down to a human being with serious issues. For his sake and his family, I really hope he gets help.

I got a warning that screenshots would not be accepted and the codes change every 10 mins. Just FYI. No issues but we used paper today.

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

This really came to a head this week at a Black Keys show at the Wiltern.  They didn't tell people that the barcodes would rotate.  Brokers sold them as screenshots, etc. on Stubhub, etc.............Lots of people left outside:

The NFL will be dealing with ADA lawsuits.  Not everyone is capable of seeing "smart" phones.  An answer of "give your phone to someone else to provide it" will not be a satisfactory answer.

it is not stealing out of their pockets. It is stealing them out of consumers pockets since they were selling at same price before.  NFL just wants a backdoor way of getting more money.

 

Reminds me when ice cream companies went from 2 qt to 1.5 qt contents but made the containers look about same size.  When asked (and multiple companies did it at same time so there was some illegal collaboration) they said it was to make it easier for stores so they did not need to change stocking of shelves.

It is stealing money out of the nfls pockets. If they can sell the original ticket, and then tale a cut on ticket exchange or whatever site they use now, they make more money. 

 

They also have problems with scalpers printing fake tickets and having to deal with customers issues. Because they go to the teams looking to fix the problem even though they bought from an unreliable source. 

 

Im not really sure why it’s so hard to grasp, but you do you. Have fun next year pulling the tickets up on your phone or not going to the games.

Does it work in a wallet even if the barcodes are rotating?

I wouldn’t know. I have one of the credit card tickets. I don’t use my phone. I’m one of the people that will have to learn like the rest.

Hahaha.....Does your phone have a wallet. There's something you don't hear every day. You know what makes it easy. If you can hand the attendant a ticket. I'm all for technology,  but sometimes the simple things get more convoluted than they need to be.
