Buying tickets out front

Can we still buy tickets for major college football out front of the stadium, or with the near demise of paper tickets, is that past in 2024?

It's tough.  I actually saw a guy selling paper tickets at a AAA baseball game this month.   I think I last bought actual paper tickets on the street outside a college football was 2018 big ten ccg and also 2018 OU v Texas.

I have not been to a college game for a while but I got to ask

How does one gain entry without a paper ticket?

Many pro franchises only issue e-tickets now.   I have to assume many colleges do as well.  I more or less use ticket master or stubhub for my secondary market buys.

Da Braves are now entirely e ticket, no more "Will Call" windows.  I had to download the MLB app, which is annoying to manage I discovered.

I got some "tours" out of Sedona for next month and they provided paper tickets I could print out as well as e tickets.  I've gotten into the habit of moving our plane ticket to Apple Wallet but my wife prefers paper.

I like to have both as an option myself.  I recall my first e ticket was to an SEC CG in 2018, I think it was, it was $300 for a nosebleeder.  I was nervous about it, but it worked fine.

Almost all sporting events, concerts, etc are exclusively electronic tickets.  Most are also cashless as far as refreshment.

I don’t know that I’d trust paper ones these days.

Also, HS games where I am switched to digital only and boy do I dislike that.

There’s an app on the phone for them. That’s actually quite convenient.

For me, I load them  in Apple Wallet so if I lose connection it's always there.  They scan my phone, it's easy.
