Going to Saturday's game? Ticketmaster issues

With digital tickets it is often suggested to store them in the digital wallet because at large events Internet availability can be limited when there are 10s of thousands of people in the same area trying to connect. The tickets can still be accessed in the wallet without the need to access the Internet. From my understanding one reason you can't just take a screen shot is that some ticket providers actually refresh the digital code every so often so it changes.  I think this is done to prevent ticket fraud and for more security.  So if the code changes that screen shot is worthless.  

When my daughters and I went to the game last year, we had digital tickets. Their system at the gate read 2 of the 3 tickets so my daughters were in and I was left out. After calling a manager and then someone else to try and solve the problem, they just went ahead and let me in and did it manually somehow. So yes to the previously mentioned. I miss paper tickets as well.
