Kansas City Chiefs Plan Mobile-Only Ticketing Switch This Season

The Kansas City Chiefs plan to move to a mobile-only ticketing system at Arrowhead Stadium in the near future, mirroring plans from teams across professional sports that are experimenting with ways fans can use their smartphones rather than paper tickets to check-in to games.

At the National Football League’s annual meeting last week, Chiefs President Mark Donovan said the team was hoping to go to a 100 percent mobile ticketing model, which could roll out as soon as this upcoming season, according to The Kansas City Star.

This follows efforts made by the football franchise last season to incentivize fans to use their mobile phones rather than paper or printed tickets.
