Printing Tickets at home
Apologies for my lack of it skills and understanding of all things technical.
I have purchased 2 tickets for a family member for a future home game.This person is worse than me in the technology department and was hoping for ‘paper tickets’ same as ticket office issue.
When I go to print off the said tickets, it looks as though only the QR code is printed??
Has anyone else does this yet, and am I correct??
Thanks in advance for any useful replies

If you need further info on the paper copy can you not screenshot it from source then edit and print from “photos”?

Yes - just QR codes are printed. I tend to hand write on the game and seat locations for ease.

Re: Printing Tickets at home
Friend of mine bought some yesterday at the ticket office. He asked for printed tickets but they said they haven’t got any yet. He can go down and get some when they arrive if that’s preferred.

Re: Printing Tickets at home
I go to a fair few sports events/gigs and find e- tickets a real bind. My Windows 10 refuses to print from pdf files which is the format most tickets I receive are in.
Easiest way out for me is to forward tickets onto my phone to take with me on the day. Otherwise maybe take a screenshot and print that (as already mentioned above).
I always prefer actual tickets because I like to go to an event knowing I've got a ticket in my pocket (as opposed to a flimsy bit of paper) + Ive been collecting sports/gig tickets for a fair few decades and sometimes get pleasure from rummaging through them.
A couple of places I go to gigs at charge an extra £2 or so for printed tickets to collect at the box-office (or £5 to print and post before the event). I always take this option when available.
Obviously younger generation are much more at ease with e-tickets and that's clearly much easier/cheaper (& maybe ecological) for the sellers.

Re: Printing Tickets at home
I’m another ticket saver, they also come in handy when, years later, the debate starts on gig dates.
Had a nightmare, last November. Turned up at an event expecting to pay on the gate. No cash admissions. They had a QR code on a post that you scanned and paid via the phone. We didn’t have that technology and were grateful to a young couple for getting our tix and accepting cash and our eternal gratitude.

One reason I don’t have faith in a printed QR code is the slightest smudge can render the code unreadable…not what we needed on a boarding pass at 6:00am in Manchester Airport last year

if you ring/email ticket office with your payment reference then they will print off physical tickets for you

Re: Printing Tickets at home
I have a friend who probably can only get to half of the home matches. He has no end of trouble with the QR codes that he prints and sometimes presents on his phone. 50% of the time he has issues at the turnstile, has to go and queue at the ticket office and often misses kick off.

Put this advice request on an Everton or Liverpool forum and it would have a totally different set of answers.
Re: Printing Tickets at home
Never had a problem anywhere with QR codes. Really easy. Football tickets, train tickets, plane tickets, cinema tickets, hotel reservations. Way less faff than printing. What is it with printers by the way? It's like they've not improved since the 90s.

Re: Printing Tickets at home
I print the whole email which contains QR codes plus other details, rather than the attachment. If there are two tickets the second one ends up on a second page, which is handy if I remember to print single sided!...

Just bumping this up if it’s of interest to anyone.
The Premier League ticket paperwork has now arrived at the ticket office and from the ‘back end of this week’ tickets are able to be printed, if you so wish.
