FYI - Screen shots will no longer work for ticket entry at games

Add tickets to your Apple/Google wallet before you leave your house, this fanbase is full of whiny *******
I've been one of the ones who prints out our tickets. There were many times when the scanners were not working because of glare or the ticket holder couldn't bring it up on their phone. We were able to waltz right through.
I can see this working really really well.

I will have to call them. Not all ticket holders have smart phones.
In the past, they always said this was the case but still let printouts in
This will be a disaster. People better get into the game earlier than they planned... it's going to be a nightmare.
Maybe with these new tickets you won't be able to get back into the game if you leave at halftime? Now that would be a huge upgrade!

And maybe some won’t be able to get in until halftime.
j/k maybe.
Help me understand how that helps if it is generating a new barcode every 15 seconds. Doesn't it still have to "talk to a server"?
This shouldn’t really be an issue, but the problem is the cell service at JTS is abysmal. I could see it becoming a problem for those that don’t download them beforehand.
Also, any time my ticket hasn’t scanned they’ve just let me in anyways. The Buena Vista baseball players or whoever they’re paying to do “security” couldn’t care less

Not necessarily. Something like a bank token has no data connection but it has a pre-programmed set of numbers on it for 2FA.
This is an absolutely terrible idea. There is pushing electronic tickets but still having options for the non-tech-literate crowd, and then there is requiring it with really no other good options for those people. You are totally pushing people of a certain age away from attending games with this move.
I have absolutely no issues with electronic tickets because I know how to download an app, save to an Apple Wallet, I charge my phone, and know to turn the screen brightness up to maximum. From personal experience at JTS, many, many people do not know part of or even all of these steps. This does not expedite entry to the stadium at all. It will create even more of a backlog as you are eliminating the ability for people who know they don’t have the tech skills to do this to come up with the alternate solution of printing them out.

For the last two years, I've attended games at Nebraska and been able to livestream the CyHok game while in Memorial Stadium! If they can figure it out in Lincoln, surely we should be able to do it too.
We would do the same of saving our tickets to Google wallet, and then we'd screen shot them to have them in the app, wallet and screen shot.
Ultimately I think what's being implemented will be fine, but I would like the ability to take a screen shot just to have a backup to the backup.
Or you have a block of 8 mobile pass and have them all sent to 1 email
Side note: I feel like the atrocious game day cell reception is a pretty big hazard. If you needed to make an emergency call good luck. Trying to find your friends is hard enough.
I'm fine with it, but its going to lead to some user error with people who have their NFC disabled and don't understand anything about their phones. Definitely going to be a learning curve the first few games.
