Getting into an MLB game
I was just looking at tickets for this weekend's games in Houston, with the Astros and Angels.
According to the Astros' ticket website, you have "to use an iOS or Android mobile device to gain entry to your event."
I even called the ticket agency, and they basically told me the same thing; you have to use electronic tickets.
When the HE-double-hockey sticks did this happen, where paper tickets are no good? Now, you have to have a cellphone to get into an MLB game?
I do not own an iphone, cellphone, smartphone, or any other phone other than a simple landline voice phone; I've never had a need for one, as I have no family or friends who I absolutely must be able to be in contact with at a moment's notice. So I guess actually going to a major league baseball game is no longer an option for me.
F-it!

Sorry to hear this. But you will be much happier watching on your TV, provided you own one.
For a few years now the Miami Hurricanes home games have gone paperless (electronic from phone).
Yes, I have a TV, although I normally watch the games on my computer (Dell desktop).
Heck, I even have an answering machine on my phone
I just refuse to let a phone control my life, by carrying it with me 24/7.

I absolutely respect you for doing this but I'm going to say that you are costing yourself a massive amount of convenience
many events have gone to e tickets. we have been to some non sporting events and they did offer a paper ticket, but it had to be ordered well in advance and then snail mailed to you.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Technology is changing everything these days, I'm not impressed.
Haven't had physical tix for my season tix for Atlanta United since 2020, and those were lanyards for the whole season. No physical tix for Mercedes Benz stadium or Braves here anymore.
Crackdown on physical scalpers? and counterfeits?
Does this still exist? Someone outside the stadium selling tickets?
I'm glad I don't go to games anymore because I don't own a cell phone and have no intention of getting one. Pretty soon it will be illegal to own cash!
