Back in the day I beat all you guys (@Knight Shift, @knightfan7, @koleszar).

I even had the photo evidence of a very sweaty UPS driver handing over the tickets.

I remember his reaction to why I wanted to take his picture: “You want to do what for what?!! LOL”
Howell mail sucks, I'm pretty sure I always came in last. It seems most of my stuff goes through a transfer station in Guam. It once took well over two weeks for a check to reach Pittsburgh. Nobody knew where it was and it was my insurance check for the business for the year.

For anything important, I don't trust the mail. I've had important documents (and even Rutgers tix) that I either never received or the person I mailed never received. I'll use UPS or FedEx for important stuff even if it costs me more. Its a shame to not trust our national mail service.

lol
likewise for me
I prefer printed tickets and parking passes, since I get them for 4 couples, including myself.....and then those other couples sometimes gives them to a family member or friend if they can't make it...... if there is trading or what not going on, I think it is the easiest path.

Yeah, I think it'll actually be FedEx.

Not that their any better. Back in the day when all tickets were sent via FedEx, I get an email saying "your package has been delivered". Go outside ... no tickets. Call FedEx ... they try and contact the driver who has gone home for day ... blah blah blah. Next day, neighbor across the street and one house down comes over ... I think this is for you. FedEx delivered over $1,000 worth of tickets to the wrong house. Nice job.

I didn't even know that was an option. I like to hold onto way too many pictures, tickets, etc. for sentimental reasons so I would've liked to toss those in an old shoebox to look back on one day lol.

Maybe next season.

You have to order the printed tickets early on

It used to be 10 or 15 bucks, I think it is up to $50, I get 9 sets of tickets

I've been getting the mobile tix. When I used to get the paper tickets, I'd send out the tickets to my buddies in my ticket group. Twice the US mail never got to a couple of them and I had to call the ticket office to cancel those tickets and reissue new ones. No problems since I've gone mobile.

I think they were generic last year. It cost $50.

My big thing is I just hate bringing my phone into the stadium. I sure as heck ain't texting or calling anyone during the game, so what's the point (for me)?

Especially early when it's warm. I have a t-shirt, shorts, ticket and $50 cash in my pocket ... that's it. Being a dumbass, I don't need my phone flopping around my pocket because I will almost surly drop it or lose it.

Why do some people always complain about the refs screwing Rutgers but never
see the refs screwing the opposing team?
Who said we never see the refs screw other teams?

Refs make plenty of mistakes... they just seem to make more in favor of our opponents.

Now.. malice or incompetence or some other kind of corruption? Refs are human, right? We have seen all of these variables in practice over time. But to see it in practice against Rutgers and to not mention it because of some belief that you are a better person for bending over in silence and taking it? Or maybe silence is to prevent being called out like this... either way.,. that's weak.. that's pathetic.

You get told by coaches to not complain during the games... to avoid penalties. Why do grown adult officials need ot be coddled? Or the no-complaining thing for professional sports.. avoid fines. Why should anyone be fined for voicing their opinion? This whole thing about treating officials as being above reproach.. that is pathetic. That is weak.

And that applies to NJ.com and Star-Ledger also.

Well, some people are "always the victim."
Are they? Why would they be?

Very strange comment.

It is obvious you are implying that you are talking about me.

I am not a victim of NJ.com or Star Ledgers abusive reporting practices.

I am not a victim of officials' incompetence of bias.

I am just a witness... and an honest one who doesn't withhold his opinion to satisfy others' opinions of what is acceptable... unless it would directly harm someone... spare their feelings.

You clearly cannot say the same. You could watch poor treatment by officials and say nothing.. because others might call you a whiner. Not only that. But you somehow feel a need to make sure no one else speaks up. How sad for you.

Why do some people complain about what other posters may do before they do it?

What's the deal with that?
Was @Section124 complaining? Looks like it was betting or wagering. This is not complaining. It's prognosticating.

And you are not complaining either. You are questioning.

That raises two questions.

Why do some people bet/wager on what other posters may do?

Why do some people question when others post about betting or wagering what others may do?

And I am glad to be wrong so far. Also, as someone that works at a company trying to go all digital, I am always curious on reason folks still get paper tickets. A lot of the reasons (ex. easier to pass out to others) actually are reasons why the app is better. I get older generations like paper but I am 58 and have gone digital, streaming, etc. years ago.

Right there with ya! For some, change is hard to accept. I know an older person who prefers a flip mobile phone, and refuses to get a smart phone. She's otherwise young and hip, but does not care to have the distraction of carrying around and staring at a small computer. Still picks up a hard copy of the Daily News every day. My 96 year old mother refused our offers to get her a laptop or tablet when she was in her 70s, and preferred to read books, do crossword puzzles, read newspapers the old fashioned way.

Our office went paperless quite a while ago. Ironically, I'm the second oldest in the office, and I maybe print out 10 pages of paper per year. Everything else is done on the screen. A lot of the younger set in their 20s and 30s like to print stuff out and mark it up with a pen. I don't shame or blame them for their preference.

Same here

EDIT- Clicking the info button for "ALL-IN-1"

"A new way to get your tickets"

"Add each ALL-IN-1ticket to your digital wallet--you only need to do this once"

"The ALL-IN-1 passes automatically updates to the next even in your plan, series or season."

I guess that means you only need to add Howard and the rest will update automatically. This could have been made clear in the instructions for downloading, but this is Rutgers.

Confirmed that this is the way it works with my R Fund rep.

@MrsScrew did it work this way for you? Only Howard showed up in your Wallet? Thanks.

As mentioned before, I get paper tickets for a group of nine, which is for 4 different families
One reason is sometimes someone can't make it and asks to see if we can sell it outside
I think selling a paper ticket is an easier thing than transferring to a strangers phone
We have a lot of exchanging and just handing over the ticket
amongst us, hand it over and you're done
If you have, 4 people in your group, you have to go in together, if all on same phone account. here, you go in with your ticket
Just my opinion

I get a lot of things delivered, and I find FedEx as the company that has delays, or screws up the most

All good points. You can individually transfer via the app as well, but I agree handing out a ticket when together is easier. I don't miss the days of mailing tickets/parking passes and hoping the package was delivered.

My group tailgates so I hand out tickets and parking passes at a prearranged meeting spot first game
I have BB tickets also, and on occasion electronically sent them to a friend, so you can still do that also if necessary,
