Printed tickets and screenshots of ticket won’t work at Neyland this year

SIAP, just saw this article, if true this is the most asinine thing I’ve ever heard of.

This is the new normal it is an effort to keep people from selling fake tickets.

For every digital ticket there should be printed tickets a collector’s item.

There have been plenty of cool tickets to collect over the years, they should figure out a way to continue that tradition.

There’s many venues going to digital tickets. The Titans have been all digital for several years now.

It’s not completely accurate… they charged $50 extra for printed tickets for a limited time to season ticket holders early this year. Some of us took advantage of that and I confirmed this week that they will be shipped next week.

I hate that they are doing away with physical tickets. They were so much fun to collect. I like this additional security measure though

I’m more concerned for our older fan base without a smartphone.

Before I thought printing tickets was the fix, now that doesn’t appear to be the case.

You mean the fans that sit down the entire game and tell the people in front of them to sit down? You talking about these people?

Yeah, the people who’s dollars made that place into what it is today. The people that are growing old and may not be able to stand anymore but still love their vols.

It’s the standard everywhere.

My understanding is that, despite some previous information to the contrary, the printed “tickets” that were ordered will only be commemorative, and will not actually be valid for entry into the stadium.

I’m guessing you haven’t been to an NFL or major league baseball game in the last few years? Both of those leagues have gone to completely digital tickets, with very limited exceptions.

I would pay $50 for that every year. I currently have kept every UT game I’ve been to for the last 40 years and have my 225+ ticket stubs all in a photo album and it would allow me to have my ticket stubs at home and not have to worry about keeping up with them at the games.

Win/Win

Has anyone else already sold tickets thru Vivid seats assuming you could still upload PDFs? I’m unsure what to do in order to get tickets to buyers now.

I transfer electronic Braves tickets all the time. It’s very simple.

This system sucks. Tickets are nice souvenirs. And how do you do a digital parking pass? I guess we will find out soon enough. Blah.

 

[JacketVol]

How do you send a ticket to someone who is coming at a different time than you?

I see what you're getting at, and completely understand the sentiment. But folks with mobility issues like that aren't going to the game on their own. Whoever is assisting them can almost certainly operate a smartphone. It's hard to even find a working "flip phone" these days. Time marches on.

What do you hold up outside the stadium to sell your extras? Gotta be a scalpers nightmare..... OH DARN.

 

[jarhead]

And yet another reason to watch from the comfort of my living room.

How do you send a ticket to someone who is coming their at a different time than you?

You will be able to send the ticket to them electronically so they will have it on their phone.

You just transfer it to them electronically. There’s nothing to it.

Should read keep people from buying fake tickets!!!! Sorry there is nothing normal going on here...

I keep saying the same thing over and over… digital parking passes work the exact same way as digital tickets. Once you get past the initial apprehension, it’s so much easier.

Yeah and they play that way too! Do great things til the system is loaded only with high use programs then their digital system overloads and shuts down!
