Took my grandson to his 1st regular season MLB game and asked for a hard ticket. Was directed to fan services and he was given a button. I said it doesn't even have the date on it, so they wrote it on the back in sharpie. Later I contacted the office and ranted a little bit about how easy (and inexpensive) it would be to print out a little commemorative ticket or email something that could be printed out. He was sympathetic. He sounded like he was in his 30's and said he has the ticket to his first game and would bring it up as a suggestion to his team.
I WILL be following up after the season, lol. But he will never have a first game again.
And most days I haven't had more than $25 in my wallet since 2012. I have had to walk out of places that don't accept credit/debit many times. I know to hit the ATM if I want to get some Delco cheesesteaks. We can all adapt somewhat.
