I think it can have some advantages


eventually. Less cost, ease of long distance transfer at last minute, etc.

If you have your tickets and don't often sell/buy or even split among a group, probably will be a relatively easy and quick transition. But for someone who buys/sells/exchanges tickets more often - not necessarily as a hustle - just not a season ticket holder, or alternates who they sit with, etc. I can foresee it causing some longer term issues.

And I can see some early clusters - easily see a scalper selling the same pdf/screen shot to multiple people - or even printing/copying multiple hard copies. If two people have the same "print at home" ticket how do you, or an usher, tell which one is authentic? First one in the stadium? Maybe I'm missing a level of security.

Students were already photoshopping a NEZ seat number ticket on an East side ticket's bar code just to sit in the NEZ (they scanned in at the gate then showed their ticket at the NEZ entrance to get in - no second scan) imagine putting a profit motive on it.
