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.

WATCH THE GAME! That’s what you paid for!

beast (3h) : Martha? 😋
Zero2Cool (7h) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.
dfosterf (9h) : I'm going with a combination of the two.
beast (11h) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC
Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no
Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.
beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?
beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you
wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.
wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.
wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.
Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down
Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious
beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere
beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.
beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.
beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...
beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered
wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.
wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.
wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!
