Tickets used to be a keepsake, a memento of a sporting event or concert, with a perforated edge where it was torn by an usher.
It’s becoming a relic, though, as more sports teams are going electronic, including the Kings.
They plan to go paperless for the 2017-18 season, team spokesman Mike Altieri wrote in an email, although they still offer a paper-ticket option for a fee.
They’re not alone. The Montreal Canadiens recently announced paperless ticket plans but still offer paper tickets at a fee, which some fans reportedly saw as greed more than an environmentally friendly security measure.
