when distributing our block of tickets?

I don't think I've heard anyone yell it this century.

exchanging tickets with another person is not too bad...helps to have a 16-34 year old with you to sort through the details. My kids prefer the electronic version.

This is going to be a pain in the ass to get cheap tickets and there's going to be a LOT of empty seats in the stadium. I just ordered some tickets for the minor league baseball game tonight and the first thing I did is print them...phone tickets are such a pain.

There is a tendency to think everyone has one.

in 2018 never had a personal cell phone of any kind, other than the company issued him for a number of years.

I would prefer to use my phone only sparingly at a football game.

Also, phones do things like get lost or run out of battery or what have you.

So, suffice it to say I prefer hard ducats.

Oh well

I have all tickets on my phone for the family in this mobile world. Rather than have to be there with all of them in line and flip through the tickets on my own phone or transfer them, I just take screenshots of the tickets and the kids get in with the photos without any issue at all. The barcode still works and their systems simply check that it hasn't been used more than once versus some kind of verification that it is the original.

So, for scalping, you will be able to hand people you are friends with a photo to bypass the ND system of enforcing minimum prices, fees, etc. Technically you can do the same with any random scalper too -- but then you have to trust they have not given out multiple copies of the same ticket.

That will allow you to download before getting to the stadium.

So I’d be shocked if ND doesn’t.

And the tiny-minded, technocratic nonsense peddled by people who have nothing better to do with their lives than think up another reason for you to need one everywhere and constantly use it for things other than making phone calls.

Power may be the hottest commodity in the parking lots.

Because the cellular network is typically overloaded about an hour or two before game time until an hour or two after the game, your phone battery drains extremely quickly as it's constantly searching for a signal.

And just a psa, they upgraded the stadium wifi network during the remodel, and it works pretty well so join the network if trying to get a signal. Of course, they didn't extend the wifi network throughout the parking lots for reasons that I don't really understand.

wifi blaster that can deal with game days and handle all those phones?

For events with large crowds who will be using their phones.

How can a person show up without a ticket and purchase one on game day? Just wondering how that will work.

The app allows me to transfer tickets to someone via their email. There is no cost associated with that.

If that's available, I would think it is possible to find someone selling, agree to ticket price, wait for the email and verify tickets before paying. Of course, all this assumes you can get a decent mobile or wifi signal.

First, a lot of ticket jockeying goes on right before the game. Typically, there is not reliable cell service at home games. It’s going to be very difficult to parcel out tickets to family and friends at the tailgater. I don’t think I’ve been to a game in the past 30 years where we weren’t exchanging and trading tickets. I also haven’t been to a big game where my cell phone worked.

Second, call me crazy, but I just see this as another information grab. Now ND will know to whom I gave/sold my tix to. I guess I have nothing to hide, but you know they are going to use or sell the data and probably give it to pirates in a data hack.

Third, by not phasing this in with the general seating and offering a physical ticket option, they are asking for a shit show.

tickets to me using the MLB Ballpark app. It was pretty painless and quick, but you have to do this via the app.

an ND-controlled ticket portal (Ticketmaster, Vivid, etc.) so that ND get its cut and can apply price floors in the electronic marketplace.

I think this is just going to create more empty seats in the stadium when tickets you could get for $10-20 in the parking lot (MAC, Rice, etc.) are price-floored at $40-50 and people balk at paying. Eventually, people will stop buying those low-demand games on the primary market too - they already have to some extent. Think about how many games have ND ticket window availability on gameday - unthinkable 20-25 years ago.

while there will likely be some integration with Vivid as the preferred nd partner and the easiest way to sell, you will still be able to transfer to anyone so can theoretically sell in any fashion, but buying on the street will of course be more difficult.

All of the secondary market tickets have already been purchased. If I buy a ticket for $80 from ND and want to sell it for $20, can ND stop me? I can see them charging a fee for every transaction involving that ticket.

My experience is from being a season ticket holder for an MLS team (NYCFC) which is a relatively young team - first season 2015.

In the first few years, you could easily transfer tickets at whatever price you wanted on various online marketplaces (stubhub, ticketmaster, etc.).

Then, the Yankees/NYCFC partnered with ticketmaster so tickets could only be transferred through their marketplace, eliminated paper tickets and print-at-home tickets, and they instituted (through Ticketmaster's portal) transfer price floors (as I recall it was 1/3 of face value or thereabouts).

I got these tickets and can't use them, want to give them to my buddy?

I'm not doubting that they won't do it, I'm just trying to find the upside for ND. I'd think that if they were making $ on the sale/transfer fee that they'd want to make it as easy as possible.

I could send my tickets to another email address for free.

So you would be able to do that and scalp tickets but it's less seamless than the current system (i.e. here's my cash give me my tickets with holograms/artwork and I'm reasonably certain that it will work).

I have a large credit from 9 tickets for a game last year that was cancelled. I sure hope I can still buy through Stubhub for this year's game, as I'll otherwise never use that much credit before the credit expires.

I don’t know your particular situation, but I had a ticket for a COVID-cancelled game. For a while there was the “is it cancelled or is it postponed” wavering, and then there was the “we’ll give you store credit” response. Maybe enough people complained, because I recently received an offer to get cash back for 100% of the ticket price or keep the credit for 120%.
