Oso planning to go pro
I just got the season ticket renewal email from MU, and it includes the following:"...New this year, season tickets will be distributed digitally via your My Marquette Account. If you would like to receive a printed ticket book in addition to your digital (mobile) tickets, answer YES to this question and the $100 service charge will be later added to your invoice."I knew they were phasing out the paper tickets this year, and I guess it's nice that they're still making them available to the old curmudgeons who can't figure out how to use the digital tickets, but a $100 fee seems prohibitive. (I guess that's the point.)Is anyone still ordering the paper tickets?
It’s the reality of today’s world, and while I have adapted to most of it - like e-tickets, news, streaming music and TV, banking and other financial transactions - the one transition I still can’t make is books. As long as somebody still prints words of novels and memoirs on paper, I will buy them. For me, e-tickets was actually one of the easiest changes, because it made it easier to buy, sell or give them away.
Until it doesn't work, and then the age old ability of having a paper ticket looks pretty comforting. I've used digital tickets for years, but twice run into a situation where they didn't work properly and it was more painful than it should have been to get the staff to rectify the situation.
I want the paper tickets. My wife has an I phone, so it is not a problem if she goes to the game. It becomes a problem if she is not going to go to the game.This pisses me off, because I called MU before making my $100 deposit and asked if I could still get paper tickets. They said yes I could, but did not say anything about a $100 fee.
Everyone does this. The Cubs charge $400 for hard tickets, though there are 81 games and not 16. Trying to discourage the paper tickets obviously.
The Bears don't even give you the paper option for 2019. It's all digital
I will have to pay the extra $100 because I don't have a cell phone. I take it I cannot print the digital tickets at home. I do this for various theater tickets in Milwaukee.
How much are programs? I like the memento of the paper ticket. I suppose the programs would do, but then you have to buy them before every game because any one could be memento worthy.
When Marquette wins the National Championship the paper tickets will be a nice keepsake.
Wow $100! Lots of money. I split Sox tickets with three other people. The actual named season ticket-holder has been getting the paper tickets because that way when we divvy up our tickets, he just passes them out. I don’t know that he would keep the tix if he had to forward them one at a time to everybody- I’m assuming that would be the only way to get them to the proper person.
A bar code is a bar code. You can print it if you want. However they will probably reject it at the door.
