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?I have not been to a college game for a while but I got to ask
I have not been to a college game for a while but I got to askAlmost all sporting events, concerts, etc are exclusively electronic tickets. Most are also cashless as far as refreshment.
How does one gain entry without a paper ticket?
Almost all sporting events, concerts, etc are exclusively electronic tickets. Most are also cashless as far as refreshment.but dont you have to print out the ticket hense its paper or do ya show an image from your phone
but dont you have to print out the ticket hense its paper or do ya show an image from your phoneThere’s an app on the phone for them. That’s actually quite convenient.
I'm gonna try to for the Colorado game in LincolnOn the Britght side if that doesn't work no worries they won't accept E or Barcode Kegs at the Tail Gates
but dont you have to print out the ticket hense its paper or do ya show an image from your phoneFor me, I load them in Apple Wallet so if I lose connection it's always there. They scan my phone, it's easy.
I have not been to a college game for a while but I got to ask:57:
How does one gain entry without a paper ticket?
:57:yes I know I live in the dark ages but no cause to make fun of me
I'm gonna try to for the Colorado game in LincolnLet me/us know how that goes.
yes I know I live in the dark ages but no cause to make fun of meThey did answer your question. You show an e-ticket on your smart phone. Looks like this:
my question is still not answered
what do you show at the gate these days if not a paper ticket
but dont you have to print out the ticket hense its paper or do ya show an image from your phoneYou show an image from your phone of the ticket with a QR Code. Not sure what happens if the phone battery, or phone itself, suddenly dies, or if CrowdStrike goes down.
They did answer your question. You show an e-ticket on your smart phone. Looks like this:so what if you dont have a phone

Anything you have online can be printed out. Hell, you could screen-shot it and print it out.You could but some e-tickets have an active component to them, so a screenshot or printout won't work. It's an anti-duplication/anti-theft/anti-cheating feature.
That would be an extra step. E-tickets are fewer steps. Convenience. The DEVIL!
Sports tickets, plane tickets, concert tickets - all of it.
so what if you dont have a phone
are you just out of luck
no phone no ticket?
You could but some e-tickets have an active component to them, so a screenshot or printout won't work. It's an anti-duplication/anti-theft/anti-cheating feature.it would suprise me if a sports entity would only offer e tickets to see the game
If it's the kind of ticket I mentioned above, then yes, it only works if you have the ticket on your smartphone. No phone = you are outta luck.
it would suprise me if a sports entity would only offer e tickets to see the gameYou admit you know nothing about a subject, you ask a question, we answer it, and then you say "nope, you must be wrong."

I bet a lot of things would surprise you here in 2024. Join us.why thank you
I didnt mean to do thatI can't speak for all colleges. I can't even speak for UT because although they do distribute via e-ticket, I don't know for certain that there is no possible way to get a paper ticket.
are you saying colleges only offer e tickets or is there one college that only offers e tickets
cause if you are saying that then Im sorry but Im surprised
I can't speak for all colleges. I can't even speak for UT because although they do distribute via e-ticket, because I don't know for certain that there is no possible way to get a paper ticket.can you print the ticket and resell it to a friend
However there are most certainly sporting venues around the country and around the world that only offer e-tickets. The Formula 1 racetrack here in Austin, COTA, is one such venue. There are no paper tickets, it's e-ticket only.
There are at least a few reasons for this:
1) Cheaper to distribute
2) Easier to control tiered pricing and special offer pricing
3) Much more difficult to counterfeit (for the e-tickets that have an active component like I mentioned earlier)
If you're surprised by this, I'm not sure what to say. It's just one of the many ways that technology is changing the world around us.
can you print the ticket and resell it to a friendNo. You can electronically transfer it to a friend.
No. You can electronically transfer it to a friend.so the days of walking around outside the stadium buying and selling tickets can only be done transering between phones
so the days of walking around outside the stadium buying and selling tickets can only be done transering between phonesThat is the question posed in the first post of this thread.
I just searched the answer for Notre Dame. E-Tickets only. There are no paper tickets. Damn.Some can be sent via text. Depends on the system they're using.
Can e-tickets be transferred by text, or only by email?
it would suprise me if a sports entity would only offer e tickets to see the gameFor the most part, yeah. I’m betting in smaller spaces (HS) and such, it saves a lot of overhead.
so the days of walking around outside the stadium buying and selling tickets can only be done transering between phonesHonestly, you basically don’t need to do that at all. You can just go online and have a big market of a ton of tickets.
For the most part, yeah. I’m betting in smaller spaces (HS) and such, it saves a lot of overhead.Ive been using my bank to pay bills for several years now and like it a lot
I was taking to family and thinking about the generational divide. Someone I know was very concerned about not being able to get print outs of photos of checks for record keeping.
Honestly, you basically don’t need to do that at all. You can just go online and have a big market of a ton of tickets.Right, and you can still wait until gameday, go down to the tailgate party, and wait for the online prices to drop in the secondary marketplace, as kickoff draws closer. Then, a couple clicks on your smartphone and voila, you've got tickets. It's really no different than before except instead of having to go to the "right corner" outside the stadium to find the most sellers, you have instant access to a lot more options, online.

I haven't paid close attention as I'm not the type to drive to a stadium with no ticket and "hope" I get a seat...
Obviously this only applies to a game that is going to have excess tickets at gametime. Super sold-out games won't have a glut of available tickets online, but they also never had a glut of available tickets from folks on the street. What few were available, would be extremely high priced, same as online.

I don't do it a lot, but in my experience the prices for say, Texas versus Kansas in Austin, are already pretty low. Then they tend to drop throughout the week before the game, and on gameday they can get pretty close to free.

This week I am begrudgingly upgrading to a smart phone. After SIXTEEN years on the same Basic Plan, $35/month, featuring a flip phone w/ T9 texting. Trading in for a new flip phone about every 3 or 4 years.
What I could no longer hold out on w/o a smart phone is Sporting/Live Event ticketing requiring an App for entry.
Will miss you little guy!

Of course, one difference between buying through the ticket exchanges online, versus someone on the street corner, is the FEES applied to the purchase. Those can be quite high.Oh, yeah, those are freakin' insane. It's such a racket.

I was trying with a local NFL team, and they kinda stayed static.

I wonder how the stadiums handle the certain group of people over the age of say 65 that just cannot use a smart phone? Surely there is some kind of paper system they can use. There are still lots of folks on the wrong side of the digital divide (been awhile since I've heard that phrase!).Is this actually a legitimate market segment, though? My dad's 84 and has no problem using a smart phone.
Oh, yeah, those are freakin' insane. It's such a racket.
We had a concert we were going to see last year in Vegas (Luke Bryan) and the Wednesday before the concert, the dog got a spell of diarrhea, so we cancelled the trip and listed them to sell. I probably sold them a LOT cheaper than I could have, but basically just wanted them gone quickly and to break even. Which meant I had to list them significantly higher for the fees that the ticket company would take out of me for selling them. And I'm sure the ticket company then slapped the buyer with fees to buy them too.
After our last concert at SoFi, I was thinking about how long of a night it was to get up there and back, and how seeing P!nk in September even farther away at Dodger Stadium would be a lot of work, especially as it's on a Sunday night. I've listed those tickets as the current prevailing listing prices are high enough that I can potentially make about a $100 profit on each ticket after fees if they sell. But that's one that I'm only listing / selling them if I can make a decent profit. If not, I'll just de-list them and go to the concert. I mean, I bought the tickets because I wanted to see her, so if I can't unload them and turn a tidy profit, I might as well actually use them myself, right?
Bought 4 tickets to TN vs Kentucky -- usually one of the cheaper games to attend at Neyland.Wowzers ! That seems preposterous.
Tickets listed at $220 each -- upper deck -- 12th row -- 30 yd line, or so. Not bad seats, but not great seats.
Went through "Gametime" for the first time ever. Fine. The fees attached were about the same as the other secondary ticket outfits.
$90 freaking bucks per ticket. So my tickets that are advertised as $220, are really $310 each.
4 tickets -- $360 bucks in fees!! (Sure am glad someone is saving money on printed ticket overhead. What a load of BS)
Wowzers ! That seems preposterous.It’s most irritating because you have to get super deep into the buying process before it shows them. So you often have to give up a credit card number just to find out what they are.

There are still lots of folks on the wrong side of the digital divide (been awhile since I've heard that phrase!).I’m guessing the group is pretty small, in part because you’re talking about people that age who don’t have someone who can show them the bare basics and are going in alone.

I haven't paid close attention as I'm not the type to drive to a stadium with no ticket and "hope" I get a seat...Back in the day that was part of the fun scalps droping their prices in the lot and just acting not interested after K.O. Then getting them below face - beer money for the game
It’s most irritating because you have to get super deep into the buying process before it shows them. So you often have to give up a credit card number just to find out what they are.Just like renting a car. Would be very easy and everyone would agree to just require the fees to be included in any advertised prices.

My fingers are much to large, and the click icons, much to small. If it is sunny, the screen is way too dark. Nevertheless, that could be good advice, but in your experience, and the experience of others on here, do online ticket prices drop in the hour before the game? Are sellers really manning their station to adjust prices?

I should have invented "Seatgeek." Some geek is getting rich with very little effort. Twenty years ago I would have said that's the American way. Now it seems more like Russians or North Koreans ripping off Americans.

Preferences are always interesting.
Out here in no man's land, the e-tickets can easily be exchanged for regular tickets, for those of us that don't want to have a phone taking up valuable pocket space, and don't want to have to carry an 8x11 sheet of paper around all night, just in case someone wants to see the ticket.
So in my ticket debacle -- I plan to attend two college football games this fall with two different buddies from my law school class at FSU:That’s a weird issue. They certainly should say they won’t appear when they won’t.
Wisc. @ Iowa, and then:
FSU @ Notre Dame
I bought tickets online for Wisc. @ Iowa. I literally spent 5-hours the past two days with technical support at Google Wallet, and with me trying to re-find technical support on my phone as I tried to switch between Google Wallet and technical support, after buying Iowa Stubhub tickets online. I received a message on my phone that my tickets were saved in Google Wallet. I opened Google Wallet and there were no tickets. I tried accepting the tickets on Stubhub a second time and received a message I already accepted the tickets and could not proceed. For those who don't know your "Wallet app" must have a QR Code with your seats designated, and my "Wallet app" had no tickets in it, other than the Pitt @ FSU archived tickets from 2023.
After 5-hours, with much anxiety over possibly losing tickets I bought, I contacted the University of Iowa ticket office (because the payment somehow went through the U of Iowa) and I spoke with a student working in the office. She said I had 4 different accounts with 2 different mailing addresses. I am not sure why I had 4 accounts but I have a business address and a residence address. (I last had season football tickets circa 1993). Then she said,
Q. "I looked in one of your accounts, did you buy tickets for the Wisconsin game?"
A. "Yes."
Q. If this were the Illinois State game you would have those tickets.
Q. This year you should receive your Wisconsin tickets the week of the game.
A. [I didn't say this] Damn, why then did the f'ing app the University of Iowa has a hand in, lie, and say my tickets were saved to Google Wallet and put me in this downward spiral for 2-days? [I didn't say this because this soft spoken female student was not at fault]. I'd like to say something to the tech guy that programmed a message that the ticket was saved to Google Wallet and lied to me and many others, but probably to at least 1,000 or more buying tickets on the secondary market, because such tickets are not in Google Wallet.
Maybe I should start searching for FSU @ ND tickets now that I have had modern day experience with electronic ticketing.
I will eventually cave and get VenmoNow that I can buy beer at UT sporting events, I pretty much ALWAYS purchase concessions. :)
I don't often purchase concessions at sporting events
I can't believe I just got my 13yr old a venmo debit card. She works a bit under the table for cash and woman venmos her the dough.One of my kids has 3 kids. You are not old.
You dont notice this when you Zelle or venmo a sitter or other adults. But youre own kid. Im old .
I don't often purchase concessions at sporting eventsCorrect MUCH cheaper to be a glutton outside - there are enemies at within the gates
Correct MUCH cheaper to be a glutton outside - there are enemies at within the gateseh, compared to the price of the tickets, the price of parking, the price of the gear to ensure your fit is fire... a couple of $12 beers aren't much.
Correct MUCH cheaper to be a glutton outside - there are enemies at within the gatesI feel like when I go to events now I’m just sitting there and thinking about how nice a crisp beer would be. Then I allow myself one and I’m slightly annoyed that I paid 14 goddamn dollars for it.
The Nebraska Athletic Department announced that this fall will be the last time the Huskers will use printed tickets. Beginning with the 2024-25 winter sports season, all NU athletic events will be mobile.:'(
I always say, "I have a budget for beer"
but, I still don't like being raped.
Won't be buying many $12 cups of suds at the concession stand
Go old school .... sneak in a pint and buy $4 Sprite's instead.Yup that's why God created the boot flask.
Yup that's why God created the boot flask.only time I ever used one
Somebody on another forum I frequent posted that they were at an even and the beers were $25.00. Not sure the size.This is the characteristic called "price elasticity." For some items, as the price rises just a little little, and people immediately start buying less of it. This is an example of high price elasticity.
There has to be some kind of study that shows the relationship between price and quantity. As in, what's the price point that we can charge the most for beer and still sell more? At $25 per beer, I doubt the average person is buying more than 1-2. At $12 per beer, I'd think 3-4 at most. I could easily consume 5-8 at any sporting event (price notwithstanding), so is there a point at which you make up in volume what you don't make in price? The fuggin' beer itself has to be the cheapest part of this equation. Probably cost something like $1-2 each to have them delivered. Maybe less.
Somebody on another forum I frequent posted that they were at an even and the beers were $25.00. Not sure the size.I would think that at many of these events, my beer consumption is more limited by a desire not to leave my seat and go stand in line, more than it's about the price. I paid a lot for that seat, I don't want to go there and then miss a bunch of action.

When I bought the tickets for the Luke Combs concert, it was through SeatGeek.Viewing your post, I am somewhat relieved to read that your ticket transferred before the concert. It is absolutely nerve wracking, and especially in my case since it said my tickets transferred to Google Wallet, but they didn't transfer to Google Wallet. It was a relief that a student in the ticket office explained that the week of the game the ticket would show up, but sheesh, if it doesn't, and my buddy is coming from Pensacola on my ticket that is not currently in my phone, and how do we get in?
I was a little bit worried about it because it said something on there about the tickets not transferring until the day of the event. And the last thing I'd want to do is drive 6 hours from SoCal to PHX with my wife and son and then somehow find out the ticket transfer was screwed and didn't happen...
But then a couple weeks before the concert I was notified that they were transferred and they showed up in the SeatGeek app, so it was fine.
I don't have any reasonable explanation for why the ticket transfer wouldn't be immediate once I'd bought the tickets, nor why it ultimately happened weeks before the app told me it was going to happen.
This story got longer than I expected but it's definitely not all rosy with e-tickets.I mean, I’ll take the credit off your hands …
A few years back I bought tickets through SeatGeek, for a Texas A&M game against Auburn. The War Tigers weren't great that year but it was still a desirable home game, and I was looking forward to surprising my i s c & a aggie wife with the tickets for our entire family, a hotel stay in College Station, and these club-level seats to the game.
So I'd bought the tickets a couple weeks earlier and received a receipt notification from SeatGeek, but I didn't have the tickets in-hand (on phone) yet and that made me nervous. But hey, it's a reputable company, and they charged my account and sent me the receipt, so everything should be just fine.
Regardless I took my family to College Station and we got to campus a few hours early and hit up the Dixie Chicken and then hit up a tailgate party thrown by some friends of ours, and then it's time to head to the stadium about an hour before because I wanted to get into the Club and get some drinks, and my wife wanted to watch the band do its thing pre-game.
But I still don't have the tickets. I call up their service line and go through the electronic runaround for a while but finally reach a person, and that's when I found out that for some reason, they don't require the ticket seller to transfer the tickets to the buyer, until 30 minutes before the event is supposed to start. I don't recall seeing this anywhere on their site during my purchase, but that's what this agent tells me. Even though I'd purchased the tickets weeks earlier.
So now I've got to kill 30 minutes standing around outside when we really want to be inside, but I figure it's not the worst thing in the world. There's still interesting gameday stuff going on, the wife and kids are preoccupied, and so I wait. And then we hit 30 minutes before, and I still don't have the tickets. The agent before had been kind enough to give me her direct extension and so I got a hold of her, and gave her an earful. I was respectful of her personally but I absolutely unloaded on her company, that it could allow such a dumbass policy, and voiced my anger about the asshole seller, that he'd hold on to the tickets this long for no reason since they'd already been sold for weeks. I was absolutely livid. She listened and let me vent, but apparently there was still nothing she could do to force the seller to release the tickets. I informed her that SeatGeek had now breached our contract because I still had not tickets and I expected a full refund. She acknowledged the refund but just then, about 15 minutes before kickoff, I got the tickets transferred to me electronically.
The agent apologized profusely and gave me a $150 credit (that I never used because since then I've absolutely refused to do business with that shit-ass company). Luckily aggies don't really bother to fill the stadium unless it's a really high profile opponent like Texas or Alabama, and so we easily got in, got to the Club, got food and drink, and go to our seats, right before kickoff. My i s c & a aggie wife had missed watching the band walk around on the field and not play their instruments, but that's no great loss and so overall the rest of the day went fine. We watched the game, hung out a bit more on campus, got dinner, crashed at the hotel, and came home the next day.
But man that interaction was a real pisser. If I ever found out who that asshole aggie seller was, I'd pop him right in the mouth.
Effin' Ticketmaster and their fees, man...The thing that kills me is the non-transparent pricing. I can live with fees, but the fact I have to give my credit card number to get the real price is grade A horse shit.
So I finally offloaded those P!nk tickets. I realized that between the sellers fees and THEN the buyers fees that I was well above-market for the price I was asking. I ended up dropping it to exactly where I'd break even on the tickets. And they just sold this morning.
Each ticket was $193.20 including all taxes and fees that I paid--which obviously included Ticketmaster fees I paid to get the tickets. So they got their fees once. I had to list the tickets at $227 or so to recoup 193.20 each after the Ticketmaster sellers fee. So they got their fees a second time. And of course the new buyer has to pay a little over $270 IIRC to buy the tickets. So they got their fees a third time.
Greedy bastards.
I mean, I’ll take the credit off your hands …It was a couple of years ago, I have no idea if it's still there and beside, on principle I can't support anyone else doing business with those jackwipes, either.
This story got longer than I expected but it's definitely not all rosy with e-tickets.Do you think maybe it was just somebody who was just oblivious to what he had to do? Like the ticket agent had to call them and walk them thru it?

Why did you buy Pink tickets?This question would fit nicely in that other thread.
Do you think maybe it was just somebody who was just oblivious to what he had to do? Like the ticket agent had to call them and walk them thru it?So, a really dumb aggie instead of an asshole? Maybe... ;)
Why did you buy Pink tickets?Because I actually really wanted to see her. But then I just realized that driving to/from Dodger Stadium on a Sunday night was going to be a LONG night.

Because I actually really wanted to see her. But then I just realized that driving to/from Dodger Stadium on a Sunday night was going to be a LONG night.She makes solid to good pop bangers. If someone invited me to such a show, I’d be up for it.
So I decided that if I could get out break-even or better, I'd sell. If the tickets didn't sell, I'd have gone and probably would have enjoyed the hell out of it.
She makes solid to good pop bangers. If someone invited me to such a show, I’d be up for it.She kinda skirts that line between pop and rock. I'm not much of a pop fan, but she's rock-adjacent. I just think she's a really talented artist, has a phenomenal voice, and I've heard she puts on a REALLY amazing show live.
A few years back I ended up at a Dierks Bentley concert, and that was a fine and good time (his openers were pretty good)
So, a really dumb aggie instead of an asshole? Maybe... ;)Eh, maybe just somebody older or not quite tech savvy.
Regardless, it's a terrible policy for the reseller to have. Those tickets should be transferred as soon as they're sold. And the seller shouldn't have any say in when that transfer occurs.
so what if you dont have a phone
are you just out of luck
no phone no ticket?
Pink puts on a good show. I saw her live when she played the Saturday night concert at the Formula 1 US Grand Prix a few years back. She's no Taylor Swift but she's entertaining for sure.
