More than once during this last homestand I can recall some of the beer hawkers around our section announcing that they were unable to take e-cash as payment. And I've lost count as to how many times it was a struggle just to buy a beer from one of them using a debit card. The Nats are pretty terrible at implementing new technology for the most part. Last year they were testing some sort of biometric technology for gate entry, and I'm sure that will be a huge mess if they ever try to roll it out widely.
Biometric technology for a ticket is.a priority, while they seem to keep limiting the ability to just print a ticket? How many ways can they come up with to nudge people to opt out of going because of what those from casual fans to regular attendees perceive as hassles? Give those who want it in ability to just use their phone, and give everyone else the ability to print or acquire hard tickets. Problem solved.
