Why? They scan just like paper tickets. The technology is simple and venues have been doing it for years.get in line at 10:00 AM for Ball St. It's going to be a nightmare.
There is wi-fi at the gates and I never had a problem with cell service. I am sure they will be including information on how to download them. Like I said many venues have done this. Are you suggesting that Penn State fans are dumber than the average fan at other venues?Except when there is no cell service and not all already have the tickets loaded on their phone ready to go
NFTs!I have nearly 40 years of printed Penn State home football tickets, plus perhaps 50 or so away game tickets. I remember how excited I was every year when I got the damn things. And I can still look at them and recall memories of a few hundred golden Saturdays.
Paper tickets. Treasures really. Ah, but now "Look for them only in private collections, for they are no more than a dream remembered, a tradition gone with the wind."

Maybe 5G will help a little if the carriers deploy some UWB at the stadium and gates.
Each one could have their ticket on their own phone.One issue is going to be when a family of five shows up and the ticket holder is going to have to swipe left five times. This electronic transaction will take at least 10x longer than handing the ticket agent 5 tickets.
Ok.....you are the cell user who has never had problems with WiFi at beaver stadium? I am so glad to meet you Mr. Unicorn.There is wi-fi at the gates and I never had a problem with cell service.

It doesn’t take that long.One issue is going to be when a family of five shows up and the ticket holder is going to have to swipe left five times. This electronic transaction will take at least 10x longer than handing the ticket agent 5 tickets.
Seriously how long does it take you to swipe right? it is a fraction of a second. Countless venues have been doing this for years. Why do people act as if this has never been done and is going to be a major issue?One issue is going to be when a family of five shows up and the ticket holder is going to have to swipe left five times.

You obviously have not lived through the mobile ticket nightmares of 2019. May work great at other places but caused many backups in 2019.Why? They scan just like paper tickets. The technology is simple and venues have been doing it for years.
Please forgive my asking this very stupid question - but does this really mean no paper tickets at all, ever, even for season ticket holders? E-tickets via smart phone only?
There are separate, short-range networks at the gates for this purpose.Ok.....you are the cell user who has never had problems with WiFi at beaver stadium? I am so glad to meet you Mr. Unicorn.
Just save it to your phone notes instead and show that.Or for the thousands who don’t have apple or google wallet
Except when there is no cell service and not all already have the tickets loaded on their phone ready to go
Just take a picture of the QR code and keep it on your phone. If you don't have cell service you can still pull that pic up and get it scanned,.Ok.....you are the cell user who has never had problems with WiFi at beaver stadium? I am so glad to meet you Mr. Unicorn.
Looks like about 12% of people have 5G capable phones, from a quick Google. I would have thought it would be in the low to mid 20% range at this point.This would require people to have 5G phones
Some ticketing applications either prevent screenshots or have a dynamic code to prevent screenshots from working.Just take a picture of the QR code and keep it on your phone. If you don't have cell service you can still pull that pic up and get it scanned,.
Doesn’t work...the codes are dynamic (at least the ones they use for students which went fully mobile a few years ago).Just take a picture of the QR code and keep it on your phone. If you don't have cell service you can still pull that pic up and get it scanned,.
Nope, but the PSU admin is dumber than most admins. They will screw this up.There is wi-fi at the gates and I never had a problem with cell service. I am sure they will be including information on how to download them. Like I said many venues have done this. Are you suggesting that Penn State fans are dumber than the average fan at other venues?
They’ve also had charging stations at gate A to cover that scenario.Nope, but the PSU admin is dumber than most admins. They will screw this up.
Something else to make it interesting, people tailgating all day, phone battery dies. Oops!
This plan is designed to increase ticket sales for games like Villanova, Ball State, and other horrible games by making it harder for season ticket holders to sell their tickets on the after market. That is it. The one and only purpose regardless of what BS they are peddling.Mobile Ticketing Home

Yes. Season ticket holders are actually the target of this policy. They want to do what ever they can to restrict your ability to resell your unused MAC/D1AA game tickets.Please forgive my asking this very stupid question - but does this really mean no paper tickets at all, ever, even for season ticket holders?

Yes. Season ticket holders are actually the target of this policy. They want to do what ever they can to restrict your ability to resell your unused MAC/D1AA game tickets.
We shall see. I hope your right but my bet is on the other side. When PSU went to using a third party for all pre-game management, the gate lines exploded and have not gotten better since that time because they have to train/retrain 80% of the workforce because they never done it before or there is new tech.It doesn’t take that long.
This is the way it’s done at Ohio Stadium, but we never hear how much better they are around hereSOOOO...SANDY IS THE CURATOR FOR THIS NFT MODERN ART 😕
other than the fact that it is very easy to sell your mobile ticket .... smhYes. Season ticket holders are actually the target of this policy. They want to do what ever they can to restrict your ability to resell your unused MAC/D1AA game tickets.
The issue is, it is already a clusterfuk to get in to Beaver Stadium .... and now there is a new reason to blame for it ... that is allSeriously how long does it take you to swipe right? it is a fraction of a second.

Are they dumber than the geniuses in Columbus who do it this way?Nope, but the PSU admin is dumber than most admins. They will screw this up.
