While digital ticketing has become the norm across sports, Segal’s story highlights the downside of an all-tech approach.
I guess you can still walk up to the ticket window on game day and buy a ticket? A big game would present problem-nose bleed seats only. General bleacher seats in the outfield, a hand held radio with earphones and I’d be happy. Don’t forget the expensive hot dog/beer.
Hubby has to make a trip to the social security office this week. Why? Because they took away the ability to just sign in to ssa.gov. You now have to go through id.me or some other one. But!!! When he signed up for those he used our old landline and they won’t recognize or change to his new cell number so he can receive a text to verify it’s him. They have totally screwed older people who don’t know how to do all that stuff!
