It must be "NFC" (near field communication) that you have to turn on on your phone for tickets to work now.

Stanford's scanners have had the ability to work with either NFC or bar codes / QR codes for several years. I can't imagine why they want to start forcing NFC in the middle of a season.

I have asked them exactly that question in an email exchange with athleticstickets@stanford.edu. I will post the answer I get, if I get one. So far, they have been defending the idea that they informed us all that QR codes were going away this year. How we all got in to the previous games remains a mystery under that scenario :-). Lets see what they say.
