No more paper tickets. While some major league baseball teams have introduced electronic ticketing, the Cavaliers have taken it a step further, providing a completely paperless transaction. Nearly a third of their season-ticket holders use Flash Seats, owner Dan Gilbert's online ticketing company. The firm is looking to sell other professional teams on the concept, allowing them to cash in on the lucrative secondary ticket market. ... "I hope to be in every league starting next fall," said Flash Seats chief executive officer Sam Gerace.

i'm with the "people like something tangible" group. i'm like a kid on christmas morning when i get that book full of tickets every year. plus, it's nice to have a memento of a particularly special game (or to have something to rip up when things go bad.)

All they got is Lebron James and paperless tickets end of story
