The tickets are perforated at the same place the Saints season tickets are. This left thousands stranded outside the dome until they started just letting everyone in.
Remember to tear the ticket off below the barcode to assure entrance into the stadium.

Thousands of dumb asses who aren't careful or don't know where to tear a ticket properly on the correct perforation.

Just sayin...

And those same people are the reason that they have printed on there for people not to bring the entire ticket sheet to the game.

The Saints tickets had a poor design this year that made it easy to tear it wrong - I tore my first one wrong, then realized it before tearing my husband's. I just brought both pieces to the game and got in. A friend of mine made the same mistake. I've had season tickets for 11 years, still screwed it up - you know, I was excited, ready for football and in a hurry, I just tore what looked right, oops, wrong.

Yeah the guy who designed the Saints tickets (they had a profile of him up when they were first mailed out) should get some heat for that.

The Saints obviously went on the cheap this year and mailed the dorky sheets out instead of the booklets that they had been sending. Of all the NFL teams I have season tickts to only the Seahawks and Cardinals kept it swanky this year. Everybody else cheaped out and went to those sheets.

Where is the bar code though? If the bar code is on the top (large part) or both then it shouldn't be a big deal...

Someone better post this on the Arkansas site.


Otherwise we might have 6,000 hogs milling around outside trying to get in without the barcode.

I did it wrong for the Saints game, too. Sounds like a stupid thing to do, but it also pretty stupid to have a perforation that is not to be torn by anyone, ever. They scan the bar codes and do not tear them so it was pretty dumb for there even to be a perf there at all.

I think they need the perforation in case the day of the game the scanners are broken; however, having the bar code on the smaller portion is poor design bc if someone is going to make the mistake and tear off only portion of the ticket and bring it to the game then the portion they will bring will be the top part.

Exactly. The perferation should only have your seating & game information on it. The barcode should be above the perferation in case they have to tear it off.
