Petit Le Mans 2024

Yeah, it's a ridiculous system for RV and trailer guys to get down there to Will Call, at least make a decent loop for guys with big stuff. I had to drive through the guy wire on the pole right out front, thankfully there was someone out at the corner to confirm before I drove down to the side gate

Wallet app at the bottom of the app drawer. Only one that wasn't is the program but unless there's a kid who wants it they can keep it

Im the same, be it boarding passes, tickets, whatever. I like something physical in my hand (yes I know that sounds just wrong but you know what I mean) rather than in some digital device relying on wi-f1, data or battery life.

I hate it too, doesn't instill confidence. For example, the past 2 days, my downtown office which has sub par cell service has gone worse and my phone has been reporting no internet but still having phone service. What am I supposed to do with that? I can't access my tickets or whatever else in this scenario.

Hey Luddites, your tickets are stored locally in the Wallet or in the email. Your phone will have the record whether YOU have service or not, all they need is the code and internet on their side. Exactly the same as Delta, United and others apps for boarding passes, save it and the QR generated returns your info and they search it.

Won't do me much good if the phone's battery goes dead. I print the tickets and have a copy for myself and another copy with my wife in case we get separated. One phone won't be in both of our hands if we get separated. She drives the van with the golf cart, and I drive the motorhome.

[broadrun96]

Sounds to me like a solution in search of the applicable problem.

FYI most newer systems will not be accepting printed copies due to issues with scammed tickets. Not likely to impact Petit cause who's scamming resale tickets for it but concerts definitely. Yeah, people suck and will sell hot ticket codes multiple times and idiots will buy tickets on FB marketplace and CL cause sure, of course they're not liars

[JT240Z]

To each his own. I just feel more comfortable having the tickets in as many formats as possible just in case.

[Adam43]

I can see the psychological need to have the formats.

I remember the last time my phone had a flat battery. I believe it was 2002.

Thats just showing off!
Mind you ever since the 'phone Gods invented power banks I dont recall having had a flat battery on lap top or 'phone.

[JT240Z]

I'm a redundancy kind of guy. I take my phone, and I have a printed copy of the QR code sheet. I see no problem with doing so. Less risk of issues and better peace of mind. I do the same with everything I feel is important. The MH currently has two Dish network receivers, two dish outdoors antenna, two T-Mobile hotspots and two kegs of beer. Pretty much covers it all.

After three phone calls and two emails, I have confirmation that I will be attending the race. Their website is hot garbage.

[JT240Z]

What was the problem? I had confirmation and printed tickets months ago.

[broadrun96]

Issues from previous year hot garbage and Abe leaving without the Adam to Abe competent transition
