Well, in a way customers would get exactly the same benefits when using the plastic tickets as those who had Magic Bands. And it's not like you needed to pick up new plastic tickets - any plastic ticket (even old ones) linked to your account can be used to access tap-to-enter benefits.

So previously you could buy a digital ticket online, link the validation code to your MDE account, and then use any item linked to your account with an RFID chip in it - old plastic ticket or MagicBand. Now there'll be a third option of linking your phone to your MDE account.

Yes, that is a good question.

At the moment, everyone has to have their own 'device' (Magic Band or plastic ticket) to scan. You can't share Magic Bands or tickets. So how will it work with phones - does everyone have to have their own phone?
