My thought is about seating once your in the stadium.  Last time at Fenway my seats put me on the field, every time you left for a beer or bathroom you needed your ticket to re-enter the field.  If this is the case it is going to cause a shit show getting back to your seats, especially with the lights out during the show.  People fumbling around trying to unlock their phones to show security.  Also, if you go in with your buddy and never transfer the extra ticket to their phone don't you run the risk of having to go with them every time they need to use the bathroom or get a drink?  how do they get back to your seats with no ticket?  Or god forbid your phone dies, cause nobody will be taking pictures or videos before/during the show.

With that said, good for 10C for putting the tickets in the fans hands...no system is perfect and I will take getting tickets over the alternative(although having a physical ticket is nice for sentimental value!)

Yes,  I'm curious how this works for reasons you mention - because if don't enforce seeing tickets then just have people sneaking into front sections.  There is going to be a lot of stories coming out of Seattle night 1 and hopefully everyone is wise enough to adjust.

What I've seen at other E-ticket, FlashSeats & credit card entry shows is after your mobile device is scanned...
you will be given a printed seat slip.
It looks like one of the credit card receipts you get at the gas pump,
and you will that you will use this to find your seat and for re-entry if you leave the stands for restroom breaks or beer runs.
I'm sure they'll be using wristbands for the GA section as well!!

Thanks for the info - hopefully that is the case!

With credit card entry, you scan your credit card, not you mobile device and it prints out a seat location.  With QR code tickets, they scan your phone just like at the airport with boarding passes and you move along.  There is no additional printing out of anything.  that would be redundant anyway since your seat location is on the mobile ticket on your phone.

I all can tell you is what I've experiences at various venues all over the country.
I have received a printed seat slip for many shows using all of these methods of entry.

So you scan your phone when you have credit card entry tickets?  I also attend lots of concerts in many locations and have never personally nor seen anyone ever scan their phone with cc entry tickets.  I'm not trying to be a dick but I think you are providing 100% inaccurate information here about getting a print out of your seat location upon entry.  Its just not going to happen that way.

I know I’ll be looking to upgrade my reserved Seattle night 2 tickets due to my 600— number. If I can find decent seats elsewhere, I guess I’ll hope to find someone willing to walk in with me to use my phone and scan. That seems like the only realistic option to get rid of both. At that point I’ll prob take under face value just to get rid of them.

For A Perfect Circle show last fall the ticket was a QR code on my phone. They scanned it and gave me a printout that looked like a ticket stub with my seat location.

Here are a couple of the seating slips I've got at shows the last few years...the top one was printed out after I scanned a QR code using the FlashSeats app on my phone.
The Cure slip was printed from a credit card entry show in Atlanta.
I know I had one for the U2 show at Cleveland Brown Stadium this past summer as well, but can't find it at the moment.

Thanks for the info.  This is helpful.  IF they didn't do this you basically have to send your spare to your ticket buddy.  If not they would need you with them or your phone anytime they leave the field

I do see a bit of it on facebook and even here... but it is a small fraction of what I have noticed in the past.

Wait until the verified sale is done and they upgrade. It will get worse I am afraid.

What choice do new members have?

They can choose to recognize securing tickets through the lottery without hassle days before anyone else is a benefit in and of itself. They can choose to understand that there will literally be thousands of people in "worse" seats than theirs.

My sister told me this was how Garth Brooks tickets were being done within the past few years.

Wouldn't color coded wristbands provide better security for ga, field and lower sections?

I'm sure they'll be using wristbands for GA...
and I have no idea what will be used for these upcoming shows.
I was just relaying some of the things I've experienced using e-tickets and credit card entry for other shows that I've attended.

They will be using wristbands for GA again.  It said something about when I put in my lottery choices.

Anyone want to trade? I have 2 fan club seats (221), and would love GA for 8/10 SafeCo...

If I transfer a ticket to a +1 and I end up not being able to attend, can my +1 still go?
