Unpopular Opinion Warning:
Mobile ticketing has its supporter$. The facility can cut labor costs by having robots scan people in. App providers can extract more revenue from users. Data miners will be able to vacuum up additional personal data. And (for their own reasons) some people want to use their phones to send texts, check scores or balance their checkbook. That's the world we live in. But making mobile ticketing mandatory across the board is a pigeon hole many fans don't want to be shoved into, at a time when the U needs all the support it can muster.  Yes, some of the dissenters are boomers ... the ones who've been supporting the U for decades. But plenty of others are young and/or perfectly tech-savvy fans who appreciate spending a few hours unplugged. They relish the down time, without phone calls or concerns about the wifi signal, problems with PW's, updates, log-ins, location services, charging problems or violations of their personal privacy. The fact is, not only is it okay to be free from the 'device imperative', but paper tickets work just fine. Printing costs are nominal. Attendants, who hold local jobs, enhance the game experience by answering questions and providing friendly, familiar faces at the gate. Paper tickets are also scam-resistant and include 'no contact' bar codes.  Unlike e-tickets, they put [I]people[/I] back at the center of ticketing policy, where they belong. So ... call us Luddites, 'old school', out of it, left behind, whatever. We'll happily pay extra for printing so we can unplug, save the memento and enjoy THE GAME. :)
