I can see both sides of this.
Forcing someone to spend 300+ on a device because emailing a printable ticket is too hard or something is not great.
They probably had too many people buying one ticket and printing extras, a problem that was rare with actual physical tickets.
I have a smartphone, and it has its uses. I can access my checklist spreadsheets from anywhere, which is handy. and I can take pictures of stuff easily.
The most recent concert I went to I had the printed receipt from the online ticket purchase. Which I had to take to the box office where they gave me -I for get which- a printed "ticket" or a physical ticket.
Cashless is weird. I finally got used to using my card for most stuff, just in time for my two favorite restaurants to stop taking cards and adding an ATM.
The game I went to in Worcester recently was ok with cash. But they didn't have vendors in the stands, you had to go to the concession area.
I've been unclear on if cashless is even legal for years. The bills say right on them they're legal tender for all debts public and private.
