The Firebaugh Kid Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 Went to the game today with tickets purchased on NFL ticket exchange. Our phones couldn’t connect to the internet near the gates to pull up the tickets. The employees at the gates were zero help...and several people had the same issue as screenshots of tickets are no longer allowed. We literally just snuck in and found our seats. How they don’t have some other system in place for when the internet is slow is maddening. 3 1
1ManRaid Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 I just load up the tickets on my phone BEFORE I go. It's that simple. 8 1
RaoulDuke79 Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 Yeah....I hate this mobile ticket only bull####. If you want to go mobile that's fine, but you should also have the option of using a paper ticket. 6 1

So you just leave the browser window open for hours? I used to screenshot them. Super annoyed with the experience either way but if that’s the way it’s gonna be they should let people know. 1 1
BrycePaup4ever Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 Ya keep the browser open and as a backup go ahead and download another browser like Chrome and load them up on there as well 2

It's even less hassle than having to waste ink printing stuff. 1

Apple wallet is apparently another way to save them. I’m an android guy so....idk. 3
BrycePaup4ever Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) I dont think it will time out for you but try to load the browsers at the last possible moment...maybe after you park the car. Edited September 22, 2019 by BrycePaup4ever

The law is that they must provide paper alternate when asked but they do not limit how much they can charge. My understand is Bills ticket office will print them out for $5 each and this proves this is not security or anything else but way to get extra money and try to redirect them to vendors who give them kickbacks and advertise on NFL. 2

Lots of other people were too so just tryin to let y’all know to be more prepared than I was. 1 2

I come over from Canada and I load the tickets before I get to the border. It's fine, nothing to BEWARE of. 1

RiotAct Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 is that why it took a freaking half hour for us to enter thru Gate 4??? (lined up at 12:15 PM) 1

I'm buying tickets to Pitt/Hurricanes college game. It specifically says not to print tickets, which I think is complete bull####. There's no reason a paper ticket shouldn't be accepted. 1
The Firebaugh Kid Posted September 22, 2019 Author Posted September 22, 2019 Point being it’s 2019. Didn’t appreciate missing the Pancho tribute. It should be simple and efficient. Guest services told us “geez...idk....lots of people are trying to use the internet”. Lol 2

John Adams Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 I got a warning that screenshots would not be accepted and the codes change every 10 mins. Just FYI. No issues but we used paper today. 1

The only way it stops if people refuse to accept this and it hurts ticket sales which it may already. I was in grocery store and all of the self checkout lines were open but they only had one cashier who had 7 people in line. A manager came over and said self checkout lines are available (like I could not see) and I stated "Sorry but they do not except store discount coupons. Open some more lines." He said "I see no reason to do so at this time." My reply "Yes you will need to have staff do restocking." He said "Restocking?" I replied "Yes, my cart. Not shopping today, if it happens again I stop shopping here." and left line to leave. Manager tried to get me to come back saying he would do line. "Next time I said, you have now more than 9 in line and it is YOUR store policy that those coupons need to be rang thru cashier." and left. 3
