Browns Season Tickets- the NFL has gone Millennial

Well Larry, glad this is the worst thing in your life ?
Was about to say the same lol. I remember Larry mentioning something that night about the digital tickets. It was different not having a physical ticket but just opening the internet on my phone and having them scan it was kinda nice.

I guess you could just say: thanks....I will see you guys play on TV. Which is sort of what I will do. Why?
Because now if I want to go I will not be able to just get a ticket from a scalper on the street on the way into the stadium. Which is basically the way I did it the last two times I went to Brown's home games.
I did do the digital tickets for the Houston game...went with Stubhub. But I had to have my son download the app for me...and have my daughter's boyfriend basically handle it for me on game day.
If I go again...I guess it will just have to be a wait and see deal.

The scalper thing I had not thought of. Bet that pissed them off.

I prefer digital tickets.
Only downside I see is that you don't have that paper ticket momento from a big game you were at.

I prefer the digital tickets too & few here would be worse than I when it comes to technology. LOL

It's an unmitigated disaster...

Gipper, some of us are going to have to complain to the Browns it's a violation of the AWCDA. Americans With Cellphone Dislike Act... It never occured to me this will effectively put scalpers out of business.... Or was that the plan all along? And I am not putting Google wallet on my phone either! People are entirely too trusting of the security on their cell phones... FWIW, my phone is a little more sophisticated than the Jitterbug AARP advertises in their publications. Seems like the younger crowd feels the need to have their phone glued to their body 24\7. Not having it around results in an immediate feeling of helplessness...
And for those who are guffawing at us oldsters who have the quaint idea of liking paper tickets... I'd bet the ranch the number of season ticket holders on the high side of 60 is at least double of those who are under 30....

I'm 72 & my 2018 paper tickets (last year for paper) will still be in sheet form & framed on my ManCave wall soon. I have forgotten my tickets before & had to get them printed at Guest Services. I NEVER forget my phone & with a pocket charger, I never have to worry about the phone being dead.

IN DORSEY I TRUST -
My good friend Larry just needs to move into the 20th century.

I'm 43 and hate this too hoorta.
Just bought a six-pack of Indians tickets, which of course will not be honest to dog tickets but downloaded to my phone. Annoying.
I was born in the wrong time.

Not all technology is progress... Believe it or not, there are still people living in the United States who don't have cable or satellite- or cell phones.

wait till you have 60k people all burning bandwidth to try and bring up the tickets. hows the wifi in teh stadium? XD

If you have an iPhone you should be able to load them into your apple wallet (app already on the iPhone) and no WiFi/data used. But I’m only 53 and if it wasn’t for my kids I wouldn’t have known that ?

Yeah, and if you have an Android, my pal's 30 something son showed me how to take a screenshot of the QR code. It saves to your pictures. No wifi necessary. Doesn't mean I have to like doing it that way. ? I'll adapt, you can still teach this old dog new tricks.
Remains to be seen how you would have to handle 40 Browns Backers that you bought group tickets for. Loading tickets on that many different phones compared to paper would be a relative pain in the a$$.

How did you get notice of your increase? Ive revieved no info on mine but expect it.....

Where are your seats. Some did not increase. For example, mine are in the north side upper level, section 536, row 19, seats 25 & 26 on the aisle. Only the 4 sections closest to the 50 were increased. That would be sections 532, 533, 534, & 535. I renewed mine last night.

As I mentioned, I'm not the season ticket holder of record... but my lifelong friend is... You should have gotten an email by now. If not, call the ticket office- possible the email wound up in your SPAM filter... Here's what Don received- in part....
"We appreciate your consistent loyalty and passion as a Cleveland Browns Season Ticket Member, and we look forward to you returning to FirstEnergy Stadium this year. While we made significant progress last season, our entire organization is striving each day to improve with the goal of ultimately providing the championship-caliber team you and the NFL’s best fans deserve.
Last season, Browns fans played a key role in the team posting our second-best record at home (5-2-1) since 1999, including three consecutive wins to close the season. You helped create an exceptional experience for our players and coaches, and we believe that we can build off that energy and momentum together to establish one of the league’s best home field advantages this upcoming season.
Your 2019 season ticket membership renewal information is now available online. As a reminder, this year’s renewal process will be completely digital and is only accessible through our membership renewal website or via your Account Manager (you will not be receiving an invoice in the mail). Please note, in 2019, all fans will exclusively use mobile tickets and are encouraged to access them through the Browns Mobile App (click here to download the app)."Ouch! You got raised. I believe all in the lower bowl were raised.
Mike
We're in 111, and got raised $15 per seat per game... Even with the price increase, relative to the rest of the NFL, our tickets aren't extortion level. An equivalent seat for the Patriots, Cowboys or Giants would run at least $75, and probably $100 more...
