All NFL teams will eliminate PDF tickets (a.k.a. Print at Home tickets) beginning with the 2018 season, in favor of Mobile Tickets. Paper tickets will still be sent to Packers season ticket holders in July until they either sell or send them electronically, or opt to use Mobile Tickets for their own stadium entry via the barcode displayed on the mobile device.

Mobile Ticketing benefits include improved protection against fraud and counterfeiting, as well as a safe and convenient way to sell, send, or manage tickets. Options include:

Transfer tickets (and accept ticket transfers) by text message
Transfer tickets (and accept ticket transfers) by email
Post tickets for sale on a mobile device or computer
Donate tickets via computer

TIPS ON MANAGING TICKETS ONLINE

DETAILS

The Packers will continue to mail paper tickets to all season ticket holders in July, including those receiving tickets through the Brown County drawing. Those who choose to use their original paper tickets to enter the game may continue as always.

The original paper tickets are still valid for entry until the season ticket holder chooses to sell or send them electronically through the online ‘My Packers Account’ from their computer or smartphone, or opts to use the Mobile Ticket option to enter the stadium on gameday. If a season ticket holder chooses to sell their tickets to a game, those tickets will be delivered as Mobile Tickets through the system to the ticket purchaser. With the conversion to Mobile Ticketing, the PDF or “Print at Home” option is no longer available, so the purchaser or recipient of the tickets must have a smartphone to access their Mobile Ticket(s). While the “sell” feature is available now on ‘My Packers Account,’ the “send” feature will not be available until two weeks prior to each game.

TIPS

The team suggests that those who choose to sell and forward their tickets to others should note the changes to how those tickets can be distributed. Those who choose to buy tickets on the secondary market, via NFL-approved secondary marketplaces, should note the changes to how they will obtain and use their tickets.

Fans and ticket holders should not share their online account information with anyone for any reason. Individuals can manage their tickets via ‘My Packers Account’ online or also via the Packers app from their mobile device.

The Packers and Ticketmaster recommend that the recipients of the Mobile Tickets add the tickets to their smartphone’s wallet or passbook to allow them to quickly access their Mobile Tickets on gameday in the event of limited data connections of Wi-Fi service at Lambeau Field.

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

Smart people screenshot their tickets well before they get to the venue, so they don't need a data connection to bring them up.

I don't have tickets, and can't afford to buy from scalpers, so it won't affect me any. I'll still be in front of my TV.
This is the problem with "technology". In many cases it makes things more difficult instead of better.

Option A: Buy your ticket online, print it out and physically take it with you. This necessitates having access to a computer and a printer.
Option B: Buy your ticket online, take your smartphone with you. This necessitates having a smartphone.

I was a very late smartphone adopter myself, funny being that I'm an IT person. I started using my first smartphone in like 2014, and didn't get my own personal smartphone until like mid-2016. 95% of Americans have a cellphone of some kind, 77% of Americans have a smartphone of some kind. The smartphone ownership rate for 18-29 year olds is 94% and 30-49 year olds is 89%. Hell, even the 50-64 bracket is at a respectable 73%.

Yes, this is going to exclude some people. Those people are in the extreme minority, however and that balance is going to become increasingly lopsided as time goes by.

I'd also be completely shocked if there is not a way to pick a physical ticket up on gameday if you order it online from a computer. Yes, it's more of a hassle. But that's one of the expenses of lagging well behind of the times.
