I remember the days when getting ANYTHING to work at Cajun Field was durn near impossible.
But for several years now, on gameday, I've had NO problems accessing anything via my smart phone.
Now, I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to this stuff, but does your provider have anything to do with your success. I was a Sprint customer (now TMobile) and have not had the gameday issues some of you evidently have.
I had to have a ticket printed for me just last year after forgetting to put one in my Apple wallet. Couldn’t get connectivity to access my tickets. Until someone can seriously address how this situation would be handled without printed tickets AND the bigger issue (how do you transmit all walk up tickets electronically) anyone calling this a nothing burger is not thinking analytically.
Carrier has 100% to do with success of service. Years ago, by 2pm it was impossible to even make a call on an AT&T phone on gameday. One game, my daughter had a bad nose bleed once we got in the stadium. I was at the concession stand getting them drinks and popcorn only to get back to my seats and her and my wife were no where around. They could not get a hold of me to tell me what was going on. After about 30 minutes of looking, I found them in the Acadian Ambulance room.
The next week, I switch from AT&T to Verizon. From that point on, I have had zero issues with service. I was able to sit in the stadium and surf the internet and follow games via ESPN while others had a cell phone equivalent to a brick in their pocket.
Perhaps the serious issue surrounding transfer of excess tickets on GameDay is only an issue for those of us who routinely do so and for those who are the recipients of our generosity. After all most people already at a tailgate will buy tickets if none are available for free.
