2019 Season Tickets

[argofan81]

I purchased a ticket to the pre-season game last week and it was electronic only. My phone could not open the link they sent, so I got my money back. For air travel, I print my boarding passes every time. Like I say, I will never trust a phone. I also never remember to keep it charged. No problem with paper. Works every single time. There are still people who don't carry a phone, so hopefully the paper option will always be around.

Argofan1 is correct about the pre season game. I thought I had the option to print as well but I was wrong. I have a wallet on my phone so it wasn’t an issue for me, but there are still a lot of people that don’t believe in or need cell phones. So strictly electronic is a bs way of doing things. Almost as if they are working with the phone companies to force people to buy expensive phones.

Well I (we) certainly had a lesson learned about electronic tickets. This likely will never be an issue for an Argos game but on a whim, my boyfriend bought us tickets to the Arkells concert last night during the football game. Obviously since we were at the game we could not print out the tickets and had to go with electronic tickets. All went well getting into Budweiser stage and getting to our seats. Then my boyfriend's phone died. No big deal, we were into the concert. Que when we leave our section to go get a drink...and try to return to our seats. Phone was dead so we couldn't show our tickets. The security argued with us for about 10 minutes telling us that we could not go back to our seats because we could not show our tickets. And on top of that we couldn't stand at the top of our section because they had to keep the aisle way clear. I'm not sure where we were supposed to go to watch the remainder of the concert? Even the senior security manager was involved and was denying us. Finally a junior came up with the suggestion that he take us to our seats (as we were telling them the exact section, row and seat numbers from the beginning) and see if anyone there would verify that we had already indeed been in those seats. Fortunately that is exactly what happened. Had it not been for the people around us verifying that we had been there earlier I am not sure what would have happened. Anyway, lesson is that if you have electronic tickets make sure that your phone is well charged to last you the entire event (and not just the beginning of the event) or if possible, always carry a paper copy just in case!!
