I went to a concert a couple years ago with tickets like this and was like “what in the hell?” Worked just fine.
FYI - Screen shots will no longer work for ticket entry at games

So. Tomorrow is the big reveal. I THINK I have the tickets & the parking pass in my Google wallet. Emphasis on THINK.
I went to the VB games at Hilton last weekend. The folks that were "scanning" tickets could not figure out how to transfer the ticket via NFC. I eventually figured out if I scrolled a bit farther down on the ticket that it said "show the bar code" & then the card reader worked. They had no idea how to tap the ticket from my phone.
Ours was fine. I think she must have figured it out by the time we got there Friday. And Sunday was like old hat. Today? I hope all the “machines” scanners are patient.
It’s a sh!t show. We left the RV village 1 hour before kickoff and missed kickoff.
They need to figure something out. They need double the scanners.

John Walters was commenting at kickoff about how a lot of people were still outside the stadium trying to get in. Guessing there were still plenty of people who weren't prepared and trying to get cell signal while in line.
It’s a fan problem. There are more scanners now than there were last year.
It's true. There was zero buzz pregame because literally half the stadium was stuck outside the gates trying to get in. It ended up full and looked and sounds great once everyone made it in.
Doesnt matter if the scanners themselves are more clunky and buggy to work through introducing delays. I had issues with the tap to scan and i had everything set up correctly.
Partially, yes. But if that many of your customers are struggling with your product it becomes a business problem. They have to make adjustments.
We were in line 20 min on the north side and missed kick Olk and the first score before getting 3/4 way to our seats. Was listening on the radio and figured shown was told not to mention anything about the long lines, because you know that butts up against the “everything will be fine” line from administration.
Also, when we got through and we’re headed up the inside ramp to the west, the line on the north was longer (and remember it’s not a line, it’s a mass of people) was way longer than when we first got in line.

Pollard's struggling a bit so far this season.
Interesting, I had 2 tickets to scan using the tap and I was in the stadium within 5 seconds when I got to the front.
A couple thousand people never made it to the front on the south side. Eventually they just let everyone in because the line was literally not moving.
Total and complete disaster. People packed in tight with lines not moving in 90+ degree heat.

Issues on the N and S sides had to have pushed traffic to the W side.
Took off from our spot 30 minutes before kick which is usually more than enough time to get in. Most of the time we have to wait to empty our “beverage” before we can literally scan and walk in.
The line today stretched on the side walk all the way to the South Gate. Missed kickoff and the first score.
The problem wasn’t with the scanners at our gate. It was pretty seamless once we waited the 20 minutes to get to the front of the line.

Tickets scanning on the north end went great. We walked up and went right in a half hour or so before kick.
Got stuck in the mass of people on the north side, which is doubly tough for shorties like me because there's no air when you're below shoulder level of most of the folks around you. When we got to the front, tap to scan did not work but the gal manning the station took my phone, hit a couple of buttons and stuck it down below to read the bar code, I guess. Anyway, only a few seconds delay. We saw kickoff from the top of our section...made it down to our seats before the touchdown.
Bad news tho...overheated before I ever got to our seats. Went back up to the breezeway for a while, then ended up at first aid. EMTs said go home. Now. So we did. I almost NEVER leave a game early.

Sorry to hear that. Crazy to think we can go from this to winter coats in six weeks.Got stuck in the mass of people on the north side, which is doubly tough for shorties like me because there's no air when you're below shoulder level of most of the folks around you.
