I was at the first game ever played at Rupp and have saved my ticket stub for all of these years. Have many stubs I have saved from NFL, MLB, NBA and college games.
Anybody miss having actual tickets instead of the electronic one we now get ?

Yes and no
Flashing my phone to get I. Events, pay for things etc has saved me numerous times from forgetting my wallet…
But the stub is a nice keepsake. Maybe for big events they could offer NFTs.

Lol.

It’s OK, as the increase of inconvenience has saved UK thousands for the lack of printing and mailing most of the tickets.
But if you believe there are no paper tickets, you are wrong.
My 35 year old neighbor in the stadium pulled one out at the EKU game. When I noticed, you would have thought I’d seen her nipple, she was so shocked I saw it and mentioned it.

Yes, of course old fashioned people like you and me miss the paper tickets. With the way the electronic tickets have to be saved and presented, there are about 100 ways it can fubar on a given Saturday. Your phone battery gets too low, or you drop your phone on the pavement and break it, or the ticket didn't save properly, or the scanner won't pick it up. As Commander Montgomery Scott once said, the more complicated you make the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain.
But e-tickets are here to stay, because they save a lot of money for the issuer.
You can still get them. My elderly neighbor does. All I’ve ever heard him say is he went to memorial coliseum and told them he wanted paper tickets.
Not really because I never saved them anyway. I don't really collect things like that. They just end up as junk for me. I don't understand the concept of autographs either and never consider asking for one. I'm just weird I guess.
Autographs are a thing of the past. Players used to consider it an honor to give their autograph to adoring young kids after a game. Now it's only about money. The society is changing because of class envy and many other reasons.
Take a screen shot of the ticket in your wallet. Attach it to an email to yourself and presto, a paper ticket. You can print it on photo paper for a really durable one.
I assume you absolutely have no choice but to own a smartphone. You have to have on to get into my computer at work. We were talking about it a couple weeks ago. They make you verify a code to get in. No clue what they would do if someone just didn't want one.
I got many of windshield fluids from the back of UK tickets over the years. Anybody else remember that? It was a free jug of that fluid on the back of the ticket?
