Mobile Tickets Only

[RaginScotsman]

You can complain about this all you want, but everything you mentioned here is a legitimate inconvenience or barrier to attending a game. No matter what stadium you go to, if the weather sucks, fewer people will show up. If the product costs too much money, fewer people will show up. And yes, mobile ticketing will also create a legitimate inconvenience or barrier for a small but loyal portion of our fan base.

UL is in the entertainment business. If our goal is to grow attendance, we have to 1. focus on providing a great game day experience, and 2 remove as many barriers to attendance as we reasonably can. Many of those barriers are things we can't control (like weather,) but we can sure as heck print out tickets.

Granted. But if mobile ticketing is final straw for some people, you kind of just have shake your head. If it’s not that, then it’ll be something else relatively benign.

Yes, the things we can control have to improve. Dr. M has been vocal about that. But, it’s mobile ticketing. It’s 2023. Trying to get a paper ticket in advance of any event from a baseball game to a concert, is getting more difficult.

I hope the admin manages this well and there are no issues. Have a plan to accommodate the minority that will have issues with this. But you can’t stop natural progress with the times because a small group might be inconvenienced.

The problem is they will not have a plan B when the plan doesn't work. Eg Scanners, Connectivity Issues, Splitting tickets between groups. They will ____ this up, just watch.

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.

Nothing to fear but fear itself.

This will not be an issue unless some, have a fear of the unknown.

HHHHEEEEELLLLLPPPPP———.After all the posts ….Can you get paper tickets fora higher price?

[CajunEXPRESS]

No additional price for printed tickets. What’s so hard to understand about not averaging 40% capacity? UL needs to be focused on getting everyone they can. Fans don’t need UL sports. There’s already more football than they can handle.

Nope. Not according to what the school has communicated so far

[cajun4life]

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. Jesus.

Our fan base is a bunch of cry baby _______.

It goes back to my original premise on our fan complaints: the school created an entitled fanbase by giving away too many freebies for decades. And there was never a natural evolution of pricing to where fans could adjust. It was just “BAM! Here are the charges!”

With that, it’s about implementation. If you’re going to overhaul something like this, it better work flawlessly come September 3rd. Remember when the credit card machines were down due to bad reception a few years back which extended concession lines? Yeah, let’s not hope it’s a repeat with this.

The natural, migration should be printed tickets cost a little more.

OR

Digital tickets cost a little less.

The transition would be easy peasy lemonade squeezy.

I think it's to get ready for the new stadium, so they have time.

Having said that, pulling the rug out from under a decades long method, never goes smoothly.

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.

Friend of mine who owns A business just dropped 10 tickets he used to give to customers. Transferring those on a game by game basis is a hassle without printed tickets.
