I'm 52, and if I didn't need a smart phone for work, I would just have a flip phone as well.

Still waiting on the answer as to how will walk ups be handled at the ticket gate.

They will also need the phone to go to the concession stand.

The vast majority of people don't have a problem with mobile tickets. It is the lack of connectivity that is the problem. This goes way past tickets as well. For the younger generation who grew up with a phone in their hand it is a problem when you basically take that away from them for 3+ hours. It should not be difficult to understand that many people, in particular students, are not sticking around long without service.

If you look at news articles about new stadiums built around the country you will often see info about how much work and money they are putting into cellular/wifi systems. With 5G systems becoming more and more common this should be something that can be rectified.

By the time we have bigger phone and keys in pocket how will we have room to hide a flask

Great points. This should be a no brainer but I'm not taking anything for granted when it comes to football.

Have to. How else do people get free tickets when the elite whale donor employers wish to give tickets to their illiterate underlings.

Just tell the seat Nazis your phone died?

Or eliminate wasted labor hours on hiring staffing service workers. They just stand and do nothing. They should have two at the gate to check bags, etc and that is it. If you are in someone else's seat they will tell you to move anyway, no staffing person is needed for that.

Agreed. What’s the worst that can happen? The sections right behind the team look more full?

Well if they're trying to cut costs... It's sure as hell more expensive to pay those people to stand around than it would be to print a few paper tickets for those requesting them

Too many phones in the bag man's bag would be too heavy

From what I am hearing is some folks are going to be dropping season tickets in every sport because of this. This is the last thing UL needs dedicated season ticket holders to do.

While it doesn't effect me at all.. I can imagine the majority of our over 60 year old fans won't be happy. Some still have flip phones....

Why do people all think anyone over 60 is a Luddite and hates technology. I have been using mobile tickets since they first came out without a problem. Never had a problem getting a ticked scanned and most of the time decent cell service. Maybe you young whipper snappers need to keep up and get rid of your IPhone 6.

Did you not read this thread lol?

In the past you could use electronic (which I don't mind) or go by the Cajun dome and have them printed. I thought this was the best of both worlds.

Sad yet not surprising when talking about some of our fans. Can’t tailgate where I want, have to pay to park, it’s too hot, too cold, there’s a chance of rain, I can watch from home, concession lines too long, and now……they switched to mobile ticketing.

I am not the one complaining. I just think this plan will back fire with our non fan base than is mostly older.

It’s a valid concern.

Corporate tickets are most definitely printed as the company I work for offers them. Last year and same for this year. I have already seen printed tickets for auburn and Florida games.

I read this is going to be for the athletic year. I will be curious to see how this works for baseball as many people in patio and loge suites split the tickets. For instance we have 12 tickets in our loge suite 4 guys get 2 each and one guy gets 4. Every year I divide the tickets into 12 stacks with all the games in each. With a mobile ticket will we be able to divide the entire season into 12 individual tickets and distribute before the season starts? I have never used a mobile ticket not sure how they work?
