Maxman Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 5 hours ago, SAR I said: They don't use QR codes anymore. It's NFC which requires no QR or barcode. The smartphone makes the handshake with the scanner, there is no code displayed. If you've ever used Apple Pay at Starbucks, it's like that. For those with older phones, a code is generated but it's dynamic, it changes every few minutes so that it cannot be emailed, texted, or counterfeited. SAR I Not everyone has an iPhone. some of us are good at technology and don't need one lol. So the actual codes are scanned but they do change like you said. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot K Tailgaters Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 The parking lots were the most packed I have seen since the new stadium opened. There were cars slamming on their horns and tons of traffic. I got in around 12:30 with hardly any line at all but the stadium was a ghost town for most of the first quarter. The Giants still don’t have mobile ticketing. Their fans were clueless which was part of the issue. There are also lots of people with Androids who do not have Apple wallet. Also when you go through the metal detector you have to take out your cell phone. Then get your phone back, unlock your phone, open your Apple wallet, and then have them scan them. The unlocking the phone takes up time. I am waiting to see how this all goes on a rainy day when people have some rain drops on their phone screen when it needs to be scanned.

Hamilton makes fantastic watches, especially their homages of classic models from the 40's and 50's.

isired Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Electronic tixx are fine but it should be a screen-grabbable eticket so you're not dependent on the sketchy signals at the stadium. I screen grab every boarding pass, ticket, elsewhere and use that - more dependable, often more scannable.What is the android process for the Jets/NFL etix now vs. Apple Wallet? Does it support Samsung Pay like other tix/cards? Probably going to the Dolphins game via StubHub and I have a Samsung Note 10+ but can switch to an iPhone XS for the day if I have to.

And parking passes were in there along with the usual promo stuff. Cheap fluff. Not worth the price of shipping. They would love to go mobile with parking passes too. But theyd have to do significant changes to entry points with ticket agents on their feet scanning in the car lanes. Too dangerous. Especially if drivers were drinking before they got to the stadium.

This is great post, really good points. I can't do the NFC thing, they have to scan me. That's exactly what happened. Phone in the bin, get it back, unlock and hope the app is still there. I learned to leave the barcodes showing before I get online and that has been working. Funny though that all these Giants fans now had to install the Jets app lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samsung Pay has worked everywhere (even wherebtheybtell me 'that doesn't work here-- oh, it worked') since 2012, so I've never tried Android Pay.

This has been going on since 1984. In Giants Stadium, the complaints used to be about not enough staff. Then after 9/11 the complaints were about long security lines. Now they whine about the evils of modern smartphone technology. I get to the stadium at 11:15 and I'm at the gate by 11:20. No lines. Tell the idiots to stop bringing beer and a bbq grill to a windy parking lot. This way there is nothing to piss, nothing to clean, and no lack of sobriety that causes otherwise prompt people to lose all track of time. SAR I I have two tickets on my phone. First one scanned no problem , took them like 8 tries for the 2nd to scan - its still a mobile ticketing issue, unless of course the person doing the scanning was tailgating and drunk.

Bugg Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 As a former STH, problem is you cannot expect a phone app entry to change much if they insist on the degree of security screening post 9/11. There's no point. You can say people are silly not to have a phone app, but when they treat EVERYBODY like a visitor to Rikers Island, the app is not going to speed entry.It's the same dumb procedure, no real screening out people who are not threats, EVERYBODY gets a pat down. Personally suspect the bigger concern is as in the old days, somebody might get a few cans of beer in and not pay $14.50 for a warm bottle of Bud Light. There are not and have never been enough security people, and their training doesn't appear to do anything close to spotting genuine threats. TSA now has all kinds of prescreening procedures and Real ID drivers licenses that have to some degree sped things up at the airport if marginally. The NFL by contrast wants to have it both ways-dumb slow screening coupled with a supposedly fast phone app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAR II think most don't want to enter the stadium 90 minutes before kickoff. It ain't that great inside. I'd rather toss a football around outside.Back when I tailgated every week with a bunch of friends from HS, we started clean up at 1220, headed in at 1240 and were in our seats before kickoff. That was pre- and post- 9/11, though we did head in earlier in the immediate aftermath.And also learned that the trick was to head straight through the middle, the shorter-looking line at the left and right sides of the entry lines was a mirage. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
