> I experienced this first-hand last year when I attended another very popular concert where they used a similar rotating-QR-code-ticket system. Numerous people including myself and my friends were floundering at the entry gate citing a bevy of broken barcode problems.
That's a different system. The article makes it clear that the Ticketmaster system works offline if you have opened it on the mobile app. Which they don't want to install.
- TylerE 2y agoYou don't even have to use the app. You can just visit the ticketmaster website and add it to apple wallet straight from there. Can do it months in advance, too.
- mixmastamyk 2y agoThe website comes up in Safari, and is scannable from there. Don’t need to add to wallet. I used box office wifi to get text and follow url. I never asked for this BTW, would rather have a paper ticket.
- TylerE 2y agoThe advantage to using wallet is that you don’t need working WiFi at the event. Everything you need to get in is stored locally.
- mixmastamyk 2y agoI bought it at the box office and did need wifi to complete the download. I didn’t need wifi or the wallet at the gate.
