Between this and their 180 on paper tickets, not a good day for the FO.
tbf i think the whole paper tickets was forced on them by the yankees......it was going to eventually happen
I do understand that. But if they weren't in control, they had no business tweeting this:
Their communication was terrible, and even the post describing the transition on their website is not 100% clear (to me) about whether paper tickets will be accepted for the Orlando and New England games.
That said, I feel kind of bad for them. Based on this from their post:
Specifically, in order to assist fans who are already in possession of PDFs for the home opener on Sunday, March 13, New York City FC will be verifying PDFs prior to entering Yankee Stadium. The NYCFC verification process will take place in front of all Main Yankee Stadium Gates, namely:
Once the PDFs have been verified by New York City FC, fans will thereafter be able to proceed through the magnetometers and present their NYCFC verified tickets to a Yankee Stadium ticket taker.
- Gate 2
- Gate 4
- Gate 6
- Gate 8
- Suite Entrance Lobby, located adjacent to Gate 4 for fans with premium tickets (Luxury Suites, Outdoor Suite Boxes, Pitchside seats, Legends, Champions and Delta SKY360 Suite seats, Audi Yankees Club and Budweiser Hall of Fame seats)
It sounds like Yankee stadium unilaterally changed their entire system such that their staff is no longer even capable of scanning paper tickets, leaving the FO scrambling to find a way to honor their previous commitments.
What a cluster frack.I do understand that. But if they weren't in control, they had no business tweeting this:

Dan you know I love the forums, but for every opended question I wrote, "If you would like my input please do me the courtesy of addressing me in American English," and for every multiple-choice question, I checked "Other," and then wrote the same thing.If you don't put in "Talking about NYCFC on the forums" you're dead to me.
You watched Battlestar Galactica, didn't you?What a cluster frack.
Personal all-time favorite.You watched Battlestar Galactica, didn't you?

I believe if you have the ticketmaster app you just scroll between the tickets. I know on the stubhub app you have the option to send individual tickets to everyone in your group or just do them all on one device.Allow me to ask a real stupid question (not that I've asked anything but over the past 2 years). Can you download more than one ticket to a mobile device or does each person getting in have to have his ticket on his own device?
That's the problem. The scumbag Yankees are pissed that they're losing nickel and dimes to Stub Hub sales, so they're doing this shit to cut them out completely.Stubhub has an option as well (just used it the other day) but I don't believe it's compatible with ticket masters.
There are some almost responsive ambiguous statements on this point on the page Laster linked to.Allow me to ask a real stupid question (not that I've asked anything but over the past 2 years).

Thanks. The reason I'm asking is because I don't have a mobile phone (yes, I'm that guyI believe if you have the ticketmaster app you just scroll between the tickets.
