A great and greater percentage of the NFL has gotten rid of 100 percent of all paper tickets.
The Broncos have announced that they are going electronic only for 2018. As explained by Nicki Jhabvala of the Denver Post, teams like the Cowboys and Falcons already have implemented mobile-only ticketing. Soon, all teams will go that route.
“The Broncos are committed to utilizing the latest in ticket technology to provide the best experience for our fans,” Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing Dennis Moore said in a statement. “Broncos fans have used mobile ticketing significantly over the last two seasons with more than 35 percent already accessing their tickets through this method. We look forward to all of our ticket holders experiencing the benefits of mobile tickets and will work with our fans to make this a smooth transition.”
The goal will be to make it easier and more efficient to enter the stadium, along with a significantly reduced risk of tickets being stolen or lost. But it definitely will require an adjustment, especially for people without smartphones or email addresses. For those very few fans, the team will make radio-frequency identification cards available.
The good news is that the older folks in the crowd can try to impress children, nieces, and nephews with their collections of ticket stubs. By texting them a photo of the ticket stub to their smartphones while sitting in the same room with them.
