Mobile Tickets Only

Guess we need some players to get some NIL from some phone dealers

I mentioned this the other day in another thread after I called and renewed my rcaf and ordered my tickets this year. I waited since I wanted to switch seats this year.

I often come alone to games and usually end up giving away my extra ticket to someone at the tailgate, this is going to be a pain in the ass to transfer now. Also I'm sure we all will have to still go to the ticket office to pick up our parking passes before the season begins which means that I have to come in a day early for the first game of the season every year.

I would much rather having paper tickets, and the reason they gave that athletics is still in the hole from covid was a pretty weak excuse. Also, it really can't be that much of an extra expense since only a portion of the season ticket owners order paper tickets, so the savings can't be much especially for the number of donors that they are ____ing off.

RCAF DO THE RIGHT THING AND LISTEN TO THE FANS AND DONORS AND GIVE PAPER TICKETS TO THE PEOPLE WHO REQUEST THEM.

Biggest mistake for a non growing and old fan base.

Maybe they found that too many paper tickets were being photo copied and used over and over again.... but system would only count same ticket # once, probably our attendance was quadruple what was reported

Such a long history of the school hiring third parties to get out of work.

This is par for the course.

With the ticket money they hand over on third party fees they could, employ a small army and print tickets with embedded chips.

But that's work.

After reading this thread, I feel the unstated concern may be this is a great idea but the university will find a way to USL this.

I know someone who always bought an extra ticket as a souvenir.

One season ticket lost.

He can chime in if he desires

Yea, but we want the old farts in the stands. Once you give a fan a reason to stay home, they see how comfortable ESPN+ is. Seems like it's a cost-saving measure, but I wish they would give the option for some people to maybe pay x dollars more for physical tickets.

No one that can’t figure out a mobile ticket will be watching ESPN+ on a Roku or fire stick. Lmao.

I like this move if done to be cost saving and modernize. It’s our administration’s responsibility to be fiscally conservative. However, I learned my lesson last year when I forgot to download my tickets to my phone until game time. Cajun Field Wi-Fi didn’t allow me to access my tickets. I walked up to the ticket office to print them. It was a customer service experience I will not forget. Remember to download your tickets ahead of time and it will be easy!

I stated I’m a fan of the physical ticket because I keep them all.

But this is the way most ticketing for all events is going. Try going to a big concert now. Pro sports. Universities are going this way too. Miami just to name one is completely paperless for major sports. I can imagine most will be soon enough.

They are going to have to have physical tickets for walk ups, though, right?

You think Miami has service issues? It’s not the idea, it’s that you can’t use your phone once the band starts at the oak. It’s setting yourself up for failure…again. I tailgate right there at the main gate, trust me it’s going to be an issue until service is upgraded
