Is Ticket Collecting Dead
This spring, as my wife and I have done since the mid 70's we planned a trip to the Phoenix area to catch a few Cactus League games. We made it a family trip with my two daughters and families coming also. We acquired tickets to a Cubs game at HoHoKam, a Diamondbacks game at Salt River, a Giants game at Scottsdale and an Arizona State game. A great vacation.
The down side is all of our tickets were "e-tickets", printed on an inkjet printer at home on ordinary paper. We plan on attending a Cardinals, Royals and perhaps a Twins game this year and they have all moved to eTickets. Even the local "AAA" Storm Chasers are using eTickets. (at least I can do a will call there and get a real ticket).
Is ticket collecting dead? What will we have to remember in 100 years. Even our photographs are bits in cyber space. How will historians do research?
