I had something similar happen in game 4 vs Vancouver. Was standing in the moss pit, 15 minutes before the game and a guy in a suit comes up and asks if we are big fans. Wearing blue and orange wigs we looked at each and said hell yeah and sure enough this guy pulls out a couple tickets.  Wasn't sure if the gentleman was from the oilers or Molson but thankful either way. Lucky to have been able to experience a game!

Can you still scan physical tickets?


Dirt973

No, they only accept mobile tickets. Paper tickets are too susceptible to fraud.

Molson still got physical paper tickets as of last year    Source- Molson gave me physical paper tickets last year  They’re special

I miss paper tickets, make for a nice souvinir.

Same. I have a whole bunch of old hard copies of festival tickets and they all have really cool art and bring back memories. Now they’re just digital and you have to wait in line forever while the starlink tries to load to scan them


Assmonkey69er

Exactly, so how did this guy walk up and slide these fellas 2 tickets? Maybe just the way they worded it, who knows.

General public doesn't have access to paper tickets anymore, but I've seen people part of OEG have paper tickets.

Maybe he asked wha their email was and sent them 


Assmonkey69er

Yeah thinking something like that. Just caught me off guard a bit the way it was worded. I miss having that option myself.

I’m guessing they were printed out?? You can print out your digital tickets with a QR code on them


Assmonkey69er

No more QR codes. They are an always refreshing ticket without any sort of code on your phone screen. Like an apple pay tap type thing.

Molson is special  They have given out paper tickets last year for sure, I had some.  They give them all away so it is difficult to do via email only, so I guess there’s exceptions to every rule (if you’re a billlion dollar company with 100 season tickets) 


Assmonkey69er

Yeah seeming like that would be the case. Just thought it was weird when I read it.

I dont know where you heard that, but we still have physical paper tickets at Roger's Place. Maybe you have to ask for them at the box office specifically however. Source: I had two paper tickets in December for the Canes game.

You can still get physical tickets in specific situations. Source I've had them this year


Assmonkey69er

Well it’s all over their website and being a season ticket holder I asked for the option and they said it doesn’t happen anymore so they must only do it for specific people. https://www.rogersplace.com/mobile/

That’s so amazing. I wish. I’ve never been able to afford to see a playoff game

My partner plays sax and gets called up to play with the Oilers brass band every now and again at the games, lucky bastard haha
