I'm 40 and I don't have a phone. If I really need the phone, then I just borrow my father's!
He is the same age as the OP, but he always wants the newest things so he can look cool!
We are the same shoe size (10.5 - 11) and sometimes he wears my Air Jordans!
Anyways, my old friend up in Newfoundland was going on a trip and stopped by Toronto for a few days. He reached out and asked if I wanted to see Jays vs. Yankees game and I was like
HELL YEAH! The last time I saw them was when they had Jeter and ARod!
Plus, I really wanted to see Aaron Judge and Juan Soto!
So I ordered the tickets through Ticketmaster and in the past I usually got an email where I could just print them. However, this time they made it clear that I could no longer do that and needed to use a phone. I did not need to download any app, but I did have to log-in to my Ticketmaster account through the phone so I could scan the tickets at the entrance. So yeah, you do need an Internet connection on your phone, unless you can use Wi-Fi there or something ... dunno ...
