Hearing that if you have 4 tickets, parking pass and south endzone passes, something like 63 clicks on the new ticket app? That's going to go over real well with some of the older fans.

Get a young PC/Smartphone savy young person to load the apps for you and it is a piece of cake even for this 84 year old person. One click to open the app, one click to load user ID and password, one scroll to find the tickets (2), one click to load the tickets, one click to open the bar coded tickets and parking pass for the specific game. Ready for scanning, and then one click to log off! I am practicing with my volleyball tickets since there are two volleyball games before the first football game. My savy young person agreed that the ticket app is NOT user friendly! :(

Definitely going to take some getting used to and that first game might be chaotic. I'm transferring the opener's tickets to a friend who is then using them for some of his family, so we're not sure how that's going to go.

I think I saw that there's an work-around to go to the ticket office on gameday to get a paper ticket if your phone battery dies or if you don't have a smart phone? But how would that work for transfers?

That's what I'm hearing from multiple sources. Man, it's a shame we don't have a decent Computer Science discipline within the University that could have designed the optimal user interface. :rolleyes:🙄🥺😳

This is so silly. Why would you not give the user an option to print off their tickets.

This push to a digital format is fine but their should be options

it's not the computer science discipline that would fix this, it's the UX Design discipline, bad products is what you get when computer science folks(devs) do the design work on top of the programming

I’ve talked to a few friends and they will no longer go to the games with this digital format. I wonder how many older fans will no longer attend due to this? I don’t like carrying a phone around. I may be one of them. Buying tickets and trying to sell unused ones during game day may be most difficult.

I’ve used ticket apps for years and selling tickets is easy.

they don’t want printed tickets because of the fear of counterfeit tickets.

There a lot of things they could have legitimate concerns about, but counterfeit tix for Purdue football doesn't strike me as one on the list.

Then again, if you did this TIC, ya got me.

I bought counterfeit tickets to the Colts game over a decade ago. We sat down the ticket owners came in got security and we got escorted out. Buyer beware! Can’t understand why Purdue has a problem with it.

Many schools are going the digital route so people will have to adapt. You can get tickets printed at the ticket office for $10.

If I want to go on game day without a ticket, people no longer hold them in the air letting fans know they are for sale. How would that work today?

You hold your phone up. Green screen means your buying, red you're selling, yellow that you've just gotten out of an LTR and are ready to cautiously test the waters again.

There used to be sites like flash seats where you could sell unused tickets up to kickoff or tip
