Nashville Predators All Purpose Ticket Thread

[MrJoshua]

I've never had problems with mobile entry, but it always makes me a little nervous because I have a cracked screen and I'm waiting for the time when the crack finally gets bad enough that it won't scan anymore.

 

[kypredsfan]

Mobile entry does not affect me at all since I have an iphone but I imagine it'll be a problem for some of the older generation who aren't on board with current technology.

Also, single game seats go on sale tomorrow at 10am, not Thursday.

I requested to pay for physical tickets when I signed up because I hate mobile, I hate using my phone for things, and I hate not having something physical to hang onto. Going to email my rep now about this.

 

[Marty Party]

So no more passports huh? I used that as my primary entry but sometimes the ticket machine would jam or not read the card until the tenth swipe. The phone transition shouldn't be a problem I suppose.

I wish they would give us a better option for parking passes instead of having to remember to print the .pdf and handing it to the garage jockey.

I use Pinnacle but wonder if the new Bridgestone HQ will open their garage on game nights? If so, would it be easy to exit being where it's at?

 

[MrJoshua]

No more seat locator slips, either, like they used to print out when using your passport or mobile entry. Maybe that will streamline the entry a bit, but I still miss the card-stock printed tickets. It was nice to have sort of a built-in bit of memorabilia.

Same here- I have saved and collected tickets of events I've attended since I was a kid. That is pretty much not possible anymore. I saved my seat locator slips for the playoff games and they are all just a blank slip of paper now- sad........

I would probably be willing to pay for a set of printed tickets, even if it was after the season- just for collecting purposes.

Good luck, I was pretty... aggressive I guess you could say, wit my rep requesting to pay for paper tickets. After speaking to someone above my rep they basically told me to **** off and no one is getting paper tickets this year (which I have already heard is incorrect).

I love how they told me that even though I couldn't get paper tickets I would be able to get to use this awesome system they called passport. Yeah, okay. Now I am stuck using a phone. After a 2.5 hour drive to games my phone is almost already dead. What do I do if I drive 2.5 hours and have an issue.

I'd so much rather have a physical ticket so I didn't have to worry about the stress of it all

You don't have a car phone charger? Charge it the whole drive and you're at 100% walking into the arena.

I knew that would be the first thing someone would suggest. Yes, I do. But what happens when the misses and I come up to nashville and spend an entire day in the city. It's just the principle of the matter, theres a **** ton of issues with "phone only" entry.

I'm honestly just more disappointed in my rep and the way everything has been handled since I tried to become a STH member. They list all these benefits of being a member but after I paid I'm then told that they are all "out", so basically all I get is my regular tickets. No bonus tickets to bring friends to games or anything like that. No more passport, which I argued for paper tickets for a while, just regular ST. I guess once the season starts and I can actually use the tickets I will get over it but right now.. I'm pretty ticked off.


Edit - Found out how to buy tickets. Deleted my question.

I was having issues with my phone going dead really quickly. Try replacing your battery. Mine went from losing 70% of its battery in about an hour (and then turning itself off when the phone said 30%) to going a day on a charge--sometimes more! One of the best $15 I ever spent.

My guess is that if you do have issues you can go to Will Call (or they'll direct you there). I've had to do that when my passport wouldn't print out the ticket for whatever reason.

I think I will just have to buy a battery pack to bring around with me but still, I shouldn't have to.

Oh well, tickets go on sale in 23 minutes! Can't wait to finally get some tickets for the home opener.

No, you shouldn't have to BUT your phone shouldn't be losing its charge so quickly either. Replacing the battery would be for the improvement of your phone's usefulness, not just for games.

To be clear, I was just saying I WOULD pay for printed tickets after the season if it was an option- I won't waste time asking for it because I know there is no chance of it happening.....

I know, I was willing to pay additional too.


Different note, wow, the demand for tickets is still insane. Seats are disappearing as soon as I refresh. Love it! Got my extras for opening night.


Edit - Guess theres a 4 ticket AND 1 order max. Messed up by doing 2 tickets then trying to go back for 2 more. RIP me. haha.

Has anyone been able to sell their tickets yet for games they know they can not go to? All of my tickets have "action required" listed under them.

Well my guess is they will continue to print tickets for Lexus lounge and suite holders.

And poor ushers, there always were people in the wrong seats by accident every game last year, and now no piece of paper. What if you do lose your phone charge, you can't prove where your seat is.......

I do get that printing off that piece of paper was a little time consuming, but those machines have been that way for years..... so.maybe ..

I was not aware there would not even be seat locator slips this year. Now THAT I can see being a major inconvenience. You take out your phone to get in the building but after that it goes back into your pocket.

Then you go to the team store, concession stands, etc- and when you are headed to your seat you have an armful of stuff. If ushers try to make you show your seat location to get into the section it could be a major pain to have to dig your phone out, open the app, etc, etc

Ushers almost never ask. In fact I usually go sit in a different section with a friend on nights where the people next to him don't show up.

 

[Adz]

I would usually have the tickets on my passport and we'd all walk in together, then sit together or apart, whichever type tickets I'd gotten for them. I guess now I will have to send the QC to everyone so they'll know where we sit. I mean, I know where it is, but if you come to 1 or 2 games, it's hard to remember. I guess we'll get used to the new system but it seems kind of awkward.

 

[Photosniper89]

I've reached out to my rep for more clarification on the new system, hopefully he will get back to me in the next few days. (For whatever reason it takes him 3-4 days to return an email).

 

[Marty Party]

I'm going to the open house tomorrow. I'll ask a few questions and report back.

I sometimes have a unique ability to find those ushers who are bound and determined to show their authority- asking to see your ticket every time you come and go. Will not be tolerating that this year........

Same here, they ALWAYS bother me.

 

[Adz]

You have to develop an attitude that says "I'm supposed to be here" OR the person whose extra seat you're using has to have it.

Yep. Just walk in like you own the place. I used to do it to go sit in empty singles in the lower bowl when I'd go to games by myself. Don't make eye contact with usher, go straight to seat, don't act strange.
