Ticket Delivery Types in NHL

The primary ticket stock types being used by the NHL today include: mobile delivery tickets (aka: digital tickets), which include QR codes and flash seats which are saved to mobile devices. Which means the days of purchasing a physical ticket are slowly being phased out and replaced with various forms of electronic tickets.

Electronic tickets for NHL games are provided by an email link that enables you to download and print the tickets from your home or office. This download is usually in a .pdf format and must be printed on paper to guarantee admittance to the event.

A lot of NHL stadiums still accept these print at home tickets, however teams are fast moving toward mobile tickets (aka: digital ticketing). These are similar to electronic tickets in that you will receive a .pdf (or QR code), but now the ticket file should be saved on your phone. The gate will scan that image file right off your smart phone to gain entry into the game. Often times to get the QR code image, you will be required to download and register on a venue’s website or app. Once you set up an account on their venue (or team’s) platform, then the tickets will be sent to you.

Flash seats are similar to QR codes, but an account must be set up at flashseats.com. An account is created by using any card with a magnetic strip (i.e., drivers license, Gov’t issued card or credit card). The card that the flash seats information has been downloaded to can be used for entry to the event.
