Why Hasn't VT Moved to an App & E-tickets?

Maybe I'm thinking too simplistically, but we're coming to the end of 2019 and yet we're still using paper tickets for game access. As a tech school I'm surprised that the CS department hasn't been tasked with building an app that VT can use to disseminate information, score updates, and most importantly...tickets vs. spending the money on paper tickets (it would also have the added benefit of eliminating the paper airplane problem). But seriously:

- Tailgate info
- Warnings in case of inclement weather
- Pre-kickoff alarms, i.e. 1 hour prior, 2 hour prior, etc.
- Buying/selling/transferring tickets (because f*#@ stubhub and all those other places)
- Rewards for season ticket holders who actually attend games

If people want paper tickets, they can pay the extra money for them.

We can also join Nick Saban and track the students who leave early (you know, before halftime) and give them *ahem* a lower priority when it comes to student ticket lottery. /s (but not really)

His decision was made after a phone call with longtime Virginia Tech assistant coach Bud Foster. All Foster told him was, "We win. They don't."
