Thanks for your opinion . Now go back under your bed.
People like you have said worse to me including calling me a ***** (it possibly could have been you). I'll say the same thing I said then and probably have my priveleges suspended again, FU with your comment. I've lived my life without being a shutin just fine by respecting what it could do. I have seen 11 people come down with the virus in my family including a 1 and 3 year old (thankfully no one serious), numerous neighbors who have passed and hear stories from my daughter who works in ICUs. For the sake of your family, you would do well to change your attitude.

I personally prefer the physical paper tickets, mainly because of the ability to keep them as memento's of special events. I still have a few from games I went to that were meaningful to me (RU/Louisville, Aaron Boone Homerun in game 7 against Red Sox, a Cowboy's game with my son in Jerry World, etc). That said, everything is clearly going mobile and the majority of people now can handle it without issue on their phones. I understand there may be some seniors who struggle, but to expect an entity to build their ticket process around those constraints makes no sense. Paper tickets are also more subject to fraud. RU offered an option to get paper for $10. That seems like a more than reasonable solution for the limited population who truly needs it. And honestly, if $10 is enough to be a burden, I personally might re-think buying tickets in the first place and focus on more critical needs. To each their own though....

I'm a senior who prefers mobile tickets. It is so much easier. The memento point is not valid because you can always print out your ticket yourself to save as a keepsake. Plus you can save the file to print out again if one of the souvenir tickets got damaged.

I agree that an additional $10 is reasonable because they are incurring additional expense. Print the ticket, print the envelope, and drop it in the mail instead of just emailing a file. It is interesting how business has changed with technology. 25 years ago I was getting charged a "convenience charge" for paying my bills online. Now we're starting to see charges for not going digital.

I agree with all of this, other than I am not sure that printing something really equates to having an original, physical item. From a collectible or momento standpoint, I see a huge difference between the two. But to each their own
