Mobile tickets replacing Paper tickets?
Noticed some schools banned the issuance and acceptance of PDF printout tickets and made mobile tickets the only online single game ticket purchasing option.

Check Penn St for example. Want a stub mailed for keepsake of the 100th and final Pitt/Penn St game? Or the consolation of a printout? Nope, single game tickets have gone exclusively mobile.

I imagine schools instituting this policy will turn away longtime fans in older generations. Not everyone owns a smartphone.

Frustrating trend for collectors too if season tickets and walk-ups (not an option for pre-sold out games) are the only avenues towards tangible tickets.
