The Jags just sent out am email that just is causing me to wonder what they are thinking...
Among the changes were the elimination of the use of Print at Home PDF tickets for use. Now you have to either use actual tickets or the Jags mobile App to get in...
Makes me wonder what in the world ticket sources like StubHub will use??? I have used StubHub often to resell tickets and buy some.. I also see plenty of people outside selling printed tickets...
I did just jumped on my Jags account and saw the only option to sell to StubHub was to send them tickets... yuch....
I can resell to the "official" resale site...
My guess is that online brokers will cut way back on selling Jags tickets not that this season was that great an item.. Last year had games like Packers where I doubled my money on club seats..
We'll see how this all works out..
Well I scanned my Stubhubs through mobile, years ago. So nothing will change, just have to have your mobile device ready to go at the entrance. I wish my schedule was better, otherwise I would buy season tickets.. But I too resort to ticket exchange or stub hub for a game or 2.
Hmmm. I usually buy tickets on occasion online for family members as gifts (birthday's, graduation presents etc) I would always print the tickets and stick them in a card. I wonder how that will work now? Wait for a ticket to be mailed to you?
A couple years ago the Yankees were the first to do this and everyone wondered when it would trickle down. It's a step the teams are taking so that Ticketmaster can make more money. It severely restricts Stubhub and the secondary market.
It's pretty easy to repost on Ticketmaster since that's who the Jaguars sell through though.

Yes, I must admit that I got spoiled with the NFL Ticket Exchange and it is a 100% secure way to make a transaction as they actually reissue the ticket (and barcode) to the new buyer.
I only use StubHub to sell pre-season tickets b/c I can mark them down to near nothing. The others I sell through Ticketmaster and it is an easy process.
just got the following email regarding the new ticket procedures.

Definitely more of an
inconvenience than convenience for sure.
My only experience with PDF tickets was a couple of years ago at the tacks game there was a couple with a kid about 8-10 who was crying at the gate after just being turned away with fake tickets. It was the Thur. night game. They did not have cash for more and had traveled from somewhere, maybe all the way from Tenn. I can't recall exactly. We bought them some 400 level tickets at the window.

Bummer. I like keeping tickets as souvenirs. Would hate for them all to go mobile one day.

Karma will still reward you for being kind and generous. We need more people like you.

I'd like to think that I've seen every scam in the book but I haven't come across this one yet. Hopefully, the "fake ticket" story was real and they learned their lesson that the only full proof way to buy resale tix and know it's real prior to getting to the gate is via the NFL Ticket Exchange that actually re-issues the ticket with a new barcode.

I've been reselling tix since my 1st job out of college (anything to do to make $$). I had some really big hits with bands like U2 at RFK Stadium in DC but had to wait in line for hours just to get tix which were limited to 8 per customer (so my gf/now wife got 16 total). This was pre-internet LOL. Anyway, when I saw PDF versions getting resold for the 1st time I could only think that this PDF resale concept is going to be a disaster to the buyers.
It seems to me that this actually makes transferring sold tickets more convenient. If you have a smart phone, and the buyer has a smart phone, you can forward the ticket to them and they can use the E ticket on their phone to be scanned at the gate to gain entry. Much more secure for all parties. A printed PDF of a ticket can be duplicated, so someone could sell you a ticket that someone else has already used and there's absolutely no recourse.
