A few questions I have....

What about tacos/haircuts?
Will season ticket card holders become alliance members? Previously only the account manager was an alliance member and had voting privileges.
How will ushers control access to specific sections? Will cards show the section information or somehow be colored to show those sections (e.g. a blue stripe for GA)?

It would be cool to see what the final product looks like

use your card to interact with us in the stadium through concession stands and the Pro Shop.

I wonder if they’ll have a second stripe on the back that reads a debit/credit card like the WSU student IDs do. It would be conveinent and could possibly mean discounts/points on concessions if the card is used

Currently not a stored value card

Capable of becoming one in future, but not yet.

Harder to sell your extra tickets

If you have a card.. then you must rely on their online ticketing to offload you tix?

Yes, but the system is easy

As long as the recipients have email, a computer that can run Adobe reader, and access to a printer, they can get the tickets. That isn’t hard these days.

Or you can print the ticket yourself and then give it to a friend

I'm stuck

I like the system, but I’ve been collecting the tickets from each game. I wonder if there’s a way to have the paper tickets voided, then activate the electronic ticket.
