Wanna-B-Fanboy Posted July 28, 2021 Report Posted July 28, 2021 Hey guys, quick question: The ticket shows up on my phone but the barcode isn’t displayed. I’m sure last time I went (2019) it did. Instead of a barcode there is a symbol on the bottom that says ‘Hold Near Reader’. What's up with that?

Bigblue204 Posted July 28, 2021 Report Posted July 28, 2021 On my phone there is a link that says display barcode. Click on that.

It's the only way to get access to the tickets from what I understand. Still trying to figure out if they can be printed cause my father doesn't own a smart phone....not a big deal as I'm always with him at the games, but would be nice to have a physical ticket option if I can't attend a game for some odd reason.
Gold Donny Posted July 28, 2021 Report Posted July 28, 2021 Same here, but I found this on the website: *Apple Wallet: If you transfer your tickets to your wallet, please note there will not be a barcode. Tickets will be scannable by contactless tap feature Bomber Insider.. Sort of.. and Wanna-B-Fanboy 1 1

Booch Posted July 28, 2021 Report Posted July 28, 2021 Just now, Jpan85 said: Ticketmaster app? No through my account..or account manager on blue ombers site
Geebrr Posted July 28, 2021 Report Posted July 28, 2021 You can get to Ticketmaster through the Bombers App I am pretty sure Bigblue204 1
Booch Posted July 28, 2021 Report Posted July 28, 2021 I just select my events in the account manager and your tickets are all accessed there..

I’m not sure why it matters what kind of code there is, as long as there’s no issue gaining entry.

Bomber Insider.. Sort of.. Posted July 31, 2021 Report Posted July 31, 2021 Hey folks, I didn’t read this entire string but I can give you some updated info. Not all tickets have barcodes this year! So if your ticket appears in your wallet, or if you’re not sure but you see your ticket on your smartphone with seat location but no barcode, the scanners actually have a function now where you can essentially “tap” like a debit or credit card with a chip! It’s brilliant and really helps! As for those with no phone or dead/forgotten phone, printed tickets can be accommodated but you will need ID and a contact number for public health reasons. The box office will look up and confirm your ticket, check your ID and provide you with a wristband and a paper ticket for entry. Lastly, DO NOT TAKE SCREENSHOTS OF YOUR BARCODES!! This is very different this year, barcodes revolve every 15 seconds and so a screenshot will be invalid very quickly. If you do not have mobile data on your phone, Wifi should be functional at the gates but could be overwhelmed by the crowd and the scanners so, if you have the option to add them to your wallet ahead of time, please do as they will then be accessible offline. Take care everyone and I so look forward to all of us in the stands 💙💛💙💛💙 Geebrr, JCon and Bigblue204 3

If so, then will need to ensure I have both websites open and am logged in to my Manitoba Health account.

Bomber_fanaddict Posted August 3, 2021 Report Posted August 3, 2021 On the topic of tickets. Has anyone been able to purchase park and ride season passes? It says you can find them under your account manager but all I see are game tickets, season tickets and parking. No park and ride. Not a huge deal but I don’t carry cash often.
Sard Posted August 3, 2021 Report Posted August 3, 2021 When I go into my account, it shows the 2 tickets for the game and 2 vouchers, but it doesn't say what the vouchers are for. Does anyone know?
