Mobile Tickets Only

[RaisingCajun08]

Our fans will complain about anything. It's not that hard to use simple technology. All you do is add the tickets to the wallet on your phone before you leave the house. Even youth travel baseball tournaments are using digital tickets. No grandparents are complaining about that, they simply make it work.

Yes, this is all easy. Many of us have been doing it for years. What is not easy, apparently, is scanning the tickets. It has been a total cluster every game since they had the mobile ticket option.

I've been thinking about the reaction to mobile tickets. Everyone complaining must never go to any events outside of Lafayette. I can't remember the last time I used a paper ticket for Astros games and I'm pretty sure the Saints & Pelicans also do mobile tickets. Here's what I find funny.

Stadiums get renovated and people have to move seats during construction. Inconvenience but fans adapt to a simple solution & continue supporting the program.

Covid makes us switch seating & limit attendance. Inconvenience but fans adapt to a simple solution & continue supporting the program.

Hurricane passes through the area. People come together, help each other out, & move forward.

Tornado passes through New Iberia. People come together, help each other out, & move forward.

UL switches to only mobile ticketing. Fans go crazy, find every possible thing that can go wrong, threaten not to buy tickets, threaten to quit supporting the program. Where did the Louisiana spirit go? First sign that things won't go perfect for some fans and they want to quit supporting on the spot. I saw on Facebook once response from a person saying they were part of the "older" generation that everyone says won't show up. They said they will adapt, figure it out, and still support the program. That's the attitude all fans should have!

How many times have you had issues getting your mobile ticket scanned at a MLB, NFL, NBA, or any other venue? Answer is probably zero. Experience at UL football is every game is an adventure trying to get into the stadium one way or another. Mobile tickets were a total _____ show last couple of years. That is the issue I have.

With that said, zero issues for baseball. Hope USL football can figure it out. Yes, football USLs everything. Sometimes I wander why I even bother anymore.

This is prep for the new stadium.

Swift as swift can be.

I have had issues getting mobile tickets scanned at Astros games. Same as everywhere else. I was sent to the next scanner since that one wasn't working.

I’ve been to saints playoff game with a quarter million people in and around the dome and my phone still works. 12k at Cajun field and you get no service. Not sure how me paying extra to get printed tickets effects you in anyway. If you could still use a screenshot it wouldn’t matter.

Doesn't effect me at all, just making points in this debate. Has anyone thought that maybe the university did a cost-benefit analysis of how much money they lose on things like equipment & ink to print a few paper tickets. Of course, the typical reaction will be that the university is stupid and this is USLing it like always.

Well at least we have an excuse now for 7000 for a home game this year. Lol. Whatever. Adapt and get to the game!

They have had service issues at the field for what, 15 years? i dont know... maybe address that before you do this? just a thought, you keep igoring the fact that you cant use your phone at the field starting about 3 hours before kickoff. Half our season tickets are corporate sponsors and get like 20,30,40 tickets. You think someone is going to sit their and transfer all those individually?

I can only hope they won't half _____ this.. but knowing my university the way that I do.. I don't have high hopes.

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....
