Really a great plan to derive revenue for the team. For me as long as they keep ticket forwarding permenantly free then I support this move. I spent a lot of money emailing out tickets to people over the years.

I understand the point about scalpers, but, in a couple of years, once people are used to the fact that tickets are PDF'ed, what's to stop someone from printing off multiple copies of the PDFs and selling each one of them. At least with the old tickets, there is a bit more legitimacy to them.
If I was a non-legit scalper, I could print off multiple copies and sell them at a discount to STH holder price. I would probably sell tonnes of these...If I were to buy a PDF'ed ticket, I would line up 2 hours early to get into the Dome as the first use of the ticket is valid.
It would guess that this will be a problem in the upcoming couple of years...
