Well worth it, as it got me from 25% to 85% in less than an hour. That was at around noon. My phone started to die at around 9pm. It's my work phone. I'm due for a new one soon.
CodeMonkey Posted September 19, 2019 Posted September 19, 2019 Nice to see this question rather than the "Why can't I get more than $5 for my $100 ticket on the secondary market" posts of yesteryears when the team sucked right out of the gate

We've been having serious issues with transferring tix in the One Buffalo app. My failsafe is to call the ticket office and demand printed tickets to be held at the BO I also put mine in my Apple Wallet, which doesn't show the bar code until 48 hours before kickoff...so I now have tickets in the One Buffalo app, the Ticketmaster app and the Wallet. Sheesh... 1

It is NYS law that venues must provide printed tickets when requested.

IslandBillsFan Posted September 19, 2019 Posted September 19, 2019 Some random thoughts here: 1) Not having an option for paper is BS. If someone chooses not to have a smart phone they should still have access without too many hoops to jump through. 2) Similar to some of the other stories, my dumbass lost my phone evening before the Bills/Jags playoff game. All 4 tickets for my group were on my phone. This lead to a panic to get Ticketmaster on the phone Sunday morning to get the tickets transferred. It worked out, but it was dicey. 3) Small chance I can't make the opener this weekend due to a funeral. If that is the case I will have 1 ticket available if anyone wants it.
Bob in Mich Posted September 19, 2019 Posted September 19, 2019 Just to confirm.... Went to stadium ticket office yesterday and had a few tickets printed for friends at $5 per ticket

You can't even print the Ticketmaster ticket and bring it to the stadium. If you are buying a paper ticket, it's a counterfeit. Your point is valid but it’s not completely true. The Bills sent me paper tix for a late season tickets purchase. I also have the electronic access, but I don’t have the ticket cards. Edited September 19, 2019 by John Adams

As was pointed out later in the thread, apparently under NYS law, venues must still provide paper tickets upon request. So far this year I've had serious issues with the technology Ticketmaster has deployed across the NFL, along with high mandatory fees. It's complete crap to mandate use of technology that hasn't been properly tested and is clearly not ready to be used on mass scale.

Sounds like group lawsuit time where laywers get the money and plaintiffs get discount coupons.

No more card tickets. Everything will be done on your smart phone. There will be no other way to get a paper or credit card ticket, period. So if you don't have a smart phone you can't go to see a game? I still have an old flip phone and have no plans on ever getting a 'smart' phone. Am I SOL now?

At at least that’s what the rep told me when I was there getting a tour of the stadium and picking my club seats. 1
