2) Paper tickets create a HUGE problem. People sell those outside the stadium as real tickets, they look real heck they are real but someone re-printed with a new barcode and everyone gets screwed......
3) I don't understand the barcode issue. The electronic tickets for this season are already in your account. You can import it into your phone, you can transfer it, keep it. What is the barcode issue? There is no reason to print it as you can download it so even if reception crashes you are good. They are 100% viewable - I know I looked at them yesterday
Well phones can be lost, stolen, destroyed or lose battery and make everything on it, so it's quite possible to not even be able to access your downloads. Having a paper backup can't hurt.
I think the main issue here though is that people do collect the season tickets and this is the first step in not having paper tickets available to collect at all (besides the fact that they'd have to pay extra). Imagine if you'd collected every ticket from every game (or even every game special to you) since the first home opener ever and then your collection had to cease? People will survive but they won't be happy.
I get that point (but it wasn't the main objection brought up above), understand it fully.
I think the solution would be if they actually allowed you to click on the link and get a nice ticket on your phone or computer / a pdf file that people could print on nice paper. Yeah it would come with a few dollar cost to get the FedEx store to print it but it does limit people getting scammed which is a relatively big problem......
I once had a typewriter and really liked the printed nice letters that I would receive and send. Now I get emails.......
I think this would be a feasible solution that would allow those who collect them to still be able to do so while using the electronic versions to get in. I'm not a collector though, so I'm not sure if they would lose their meaning and personal value if they weren't "real" tickets.
