I really, really hope the Packers continue to use paper tickets for season ticket holders. Myself and some other older folks do not have smart phones.  And I know quite a few elderly who do not know how to use the smart phones they have, except to make a simple call. They (myself included) would not be able to use electronic tix.

I realize that buying them on the secondary market you'd probably have to obtain an an electronic ticket from TM or some other source. But for my season tix they never go on the secondary market, except to exchange between family and friends.

Bought the tickets directly from the Bengals but they use TM and the only option was electronic tickets.  At least they didn't require us to purchase tickets for another game like they have in the past.

You have never had someone inside a stadium ask for your ticket?  Also inside an unfamiliar stadium it helps to find where you are seated.

At Lambeau? No. Not if you look like you know where you are going. Now, where I sit the usher will ask people to show their ticket if he doesn't recognize them otherwise you end up with a crowd of people wanting to see the players come out or go into the tunnel. But I haven't been asked to show my ticket for a good 10 years once I get past the scanning station.

Yep, NFL uses TM pretty much.  For part of my job I take college students to NFL, MLB, MLS, and NHL games, and pretty much all of them only use electronic tickets.  I keep the "ticket" open in the team or Ticketmaster app, and I can bring it up quickly if I need to show it, but I really haven't had to once we've gotten in the venues.  But it actually works pretty slick.

The only bad part is since I work at a university in Minnesota, I have to have the fucking Vikings app on my phone.  That is hard to explain to friends and family in Wisconsin.

On a plus side, I did just purchase 80 tickets for the Pack at the Vikes game in November for our students.  Sadly, I have to go along as the group leader.  Sometimes my job is rough.

For anyone new to mobile tickets (Lambeau for sure) I would highly recommend getting your ticket exported to the wallet on your phone. That does not require internet access on game day. The live ticket is constantly changing the barcode and does require a good cell or WiFi signal. I'm sure if you have been to a game at Lambeau you know that's never a given.
