MOBILE TICKETS AND TICKET SCANNERS

Before you go to the game, add your mobile tickets to your phone’s digital wallet and transfer tickets to each guest attending the game with you so they have their tickets in advance. Don’t wait to find out you have bad cell service in the crowded line. It’s recommended everyone have a fully-charged phone going to the game.

Look for the new pedestal-style ticket scanners. Fans can scan mobile tickets in their digital wallet on the upper part of the pedestal or scan the ticket image’s barcode on the lower part of the pedestal.
