I am not a big fan of electronic tickets but I understand that it is the way of the future. Open your tickets long before you get to the doors. If you are trying to open them at the gate you are doing it wrong.

I do miss the nostalgia of the actual ticket, as I liked to save the ones from big/historic games. Maybe I can screenshot my electronic ones and turn them into NFTs now.
It is also less convenient and more work for me to distribute the tickets to my group. It’s not that it’s hard, but it’s just another step when loading up or preparing for game day.
Don’t get me started on the parking attendants

I'm totally speculating here, but I wonder if either your app or version of Android needs to be updated. Updating apps and rebooting devices sounds like such condescending advice in 2021 but it truly does solve a lot of problems.
Personally I've not had any issues pulling up Google Pay, but if by chance it does require some small amount of data, I'm actually getting a signal on game days for the first time (aside from last year's Covid-reduced attendance). I'm on Verizon.
I just open them at home and take a screen shot.
Where are you going in GPay to access your tickets? If you are accessing your cards/tickets from the upper right hand corner, you should not need any data. I just did it in airplane mode on my phone with no issue. At the first game I WAS having a data issue because I was trying to access them via the Ticketmaster button on the bottom - that is not the way to do it.
Screen shot, wallet…so many solutions that don’t require printing paper tickets. These are very difficult things to do on most phones anymore, so one can see how printing might be easier. I have also went back to VHS to record programs.
Did you really write a “poor me” because people told you that the app actually has a feature built specifically for the (very common) scenario that your phone doesn’t have connectivity at an event?
Because you created A BUNCH of straw men here as a response to people making valid points (even if they were less than friendly while doing so.)
You are exactly right! Thank you so much for sharing that!!!!
That is the problem I have been having, going through the Ticketmaster button.
I also don't love the idea of electronic tickets. It's fun to get the big envelope of shiny tickets in the mail. My kids liked looking at them all and (carefully) tearing them loose. It's also fun to find one in your center console some years later. "Oh that's the game when Jimmy came to the tailgate."
But i haven't had any technical difficulties. I do save them to my Google wallet beforehand. The worst part is the parking passes where you kinda have to unlock your phone while driving. But as long as you queue it up before leaving home, it's just a matter of unlocking the phone.

Not
charge to full before you go, charge at tailgate, pull on low battery mode all day, close apps….this is not an age issue.
Not for sold out games, I would not think. But no idea. Only thing I can think is they were for give aways or something like that. Obviously, if you are giving away a prize ticket to a game not having actual tickets makes it difficult, so maybe they still have them for those types of things. But that is only a guess.
I regret starting this thread. I did not know there would be so much hatred for people who were technologically challenged. Have a good life, folks.
Meh, lots of people like to rag on others. Just ignore them. I print my tickets out at home just because it seems easier to me. My phone is not current enough for mobile tickets.
