It sounds like Option A isn't an option anymore.

Right. Option A is gone. Either get the real ticket from the season ticket holder or use a smart phone app.

Or- watch the game at home or bar.

In reality we are talking about resold tickets only. I have to wonder how many people trust the internet enough to buy a ticket online and also don't embrace technology enough to have a smart phone.

I too came to the smart phone party very late. I only did so bc the provider dumbed down the flip phone technology in order to drive more people to smart phones.

It looks like you can still get tickets if you don't have a smartphone.


https://www.packers.com/tickets/mobile-ticketing 

WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE A SMARTPHONE?

If you do not have a smartphone, please contact the Packers ticket office at (920) 569-7501 or tickets@packers.com for assistance.

WHAT IF I NEED HELP ON GAMEDAY? BROKEN DEVICE? BATTERY ISSUES?

You may visit the ticket office located next to the Miller Lite gate on the North end or the auxiliary ticket office on the south end of the stadium on gameday. Please have a valid ID for the name on the account.



So basically it looks like your options are to use the mobile ticketing system, or visit the ticket office on gameday.

Modern technology also makes it easier to rip people off.
Even lots easier to print fake tickets to rip people off.
The reality is, if a country wanted to take over our country, just knock out computers, and we would be helpless.
Couldn’t get money out of banks or ATMs, couldn’t buy food or any products, could knock out electricity and all not-so “smart phones”.
I bet it will happen.
Technology makes things easy, but there are down sides.

As someone in the tech sector, it doesn't explain how smartphone's are going to protect against fraud any better than a printed ticket. I would think smartphones would be more rampant with fraud, it's just white-collar fraud (e.g., someone needs knowledge of the tech). I also don't want to offend older generations but from my understanding, this might alienate quite a number of them who have not adopted mobile devices. For a league and team so steeped in tradition and history, it seems a little wrong.

NFL, Inc. may pay lip service to tradition but they don't really care about my generation any longer. As we age we become less relevant. Everything they have done in the last few years is to target and attract the younger generations. Do you think as a group boomer care about stadiums being wired for wifi? Not really. I use it when I'm there but it isn't a deal breaker. On the tv all the graphics they have is for the younger audience. Sometimes I find it too distracting. Redzone is totally wasted on us.

The list goes on and on my friend.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems
beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
