Buying tickets outside stadium?
- Thread starter BeeJack

Every platform the CWS used previously charged the same way. Flashseats initially and then PrimeSports. Not a new policy unfortunately. The sellers are not charged fees, only buyers.
Seems like there could be a legal issue here. Requiring you to get the app before you can have your tickets...
I'm going with the e-tickets because I want an opportunity to have experience before my trip to Norman
It should still be possible to buy tickets outside, it's just different than it used to be.
Option 1 - eTickets are generally available in PDF format that can be opened via your email, right? If you buy an eTicket outside the stadium, the seller can email you the eTicket PDF right there on the spot and you can confirm receipt.
Option 2 - After you buy your ticket(s) outside the stadium, follow the seller up to the gate and have them provide the eTicket right to the reader at the gate.
In both of the above cases, there are opportunities to get scammed, but this was also just as true with paper tickets... which were also easy to forge if the bad guy was sufficiently motivated. I'm not convinced that the risk is any different or worse than it was before.
All that said, I'm not a fan of going all electronic, I'm too old fashioned. Always preferred buying paper tickets outside.

Why would you do that? If you have electronic, you cannot also have paper.
Is it different than airline tickets where you can have both?
Yes it is. You cannot scan electronic/paperless tix. That’s how it was for the CWS anyway which was handled thru the NCAA/Ticketmaster. The bar code was only valid on your phone.
Now imagine that coming out of Trev Albert's mouth.....If people want to go to the games they will figure it out. If not they will just stay home…simple as that.
It is kind of a big deal.
