Was reading online today and ran across this article on the Pittsburgh Post Gazette site. It’s about how technology in use with new ticket systems is putting a crimp on some scalper activities (that’s a good thing).
Check out the article. It’s relevant here, because the Texas Rangers also participate in the same program, which is one of being able to sell unused season tickets through the team’s website. It’s far more secure due to bar code scanning at the gate.
I wish more teams in more sports did this kind of thing.
I went to the last game of the season and we were getting our tickets and this guy walked up to us and said “you need tickets?”
“yeah”
“i’ve got 5 vouchers for free tickets, you want them?”
“sure”
“it’s the last game of the season and i can’t go to it so here ya go” *gives us vouchers for free tickets*
plus, when we go to OU games the only way we can get tickets is by scalpers…of course they’re everywhere there
