I know we try to be all hip with the times and do all the student tix electronically, but it would solve sooooooooo many problems to just go back to straight paper tickets. It'd be so much easier if one of those punks didn't want to go to a game to just take their ticket and sell it to someone, whereas now you have to transfer some shite to someone else's ID or whatever new fangled nonsense they do.

This has been my theory on it as well. When I was a student you showed up at the stadium and you had your student ticket and your ACT card (student ID). You gave them both to the ticket taker and you were in. I have no idea what it is like now but that is what I heard, that you had to transfer the ticket to the account of the other student etc etc. Who the hell is going to go through that hassle? What do student tickets even cost now? I think they were $25 for the entire season in my day. Even at double that price you are going to get maybe $20 for your ticket
