While true, it shouldn't be required. But they also don't let you buy tickets with cash today either.
8 0 ReplyYou absolutely can. But you'll have to buy them at the ticketing counter, and they will likely by 2-3x as expensive as they would have been otherwise.
2 0 ReplyNot in the US afaik. Need to put the cash on a card, then you can buy them.

Not necessarily true. I hate the whole phone treadmill where a phone battery sucks after two years. And the repair costs as much as another phone.
So I held onto phones with like a few hours of battery life.
Easier to just print out the tickets and not have to micromanage my phone.

Burner smartphone. Buy a cheap ass used phone on Craigslist. Only ever connect it to wifi. Load it with all the garbage apps companies demand you use. Use your real smart or dumb phone for your actual personal purposes.
