MyChart Made Simple

Digital Tickets Made Simple
In-person at Garner Senior Center
These days your ticket to a show, game, flight, or movie often lives on your phone instead of in your hand. In this friendly, hands-on hour, we'll show you how digital tickets work, how to find and save them, and how to pull them up at the gate or door. We'll use real examples from events, travel, and entertainment so you leave confident, not fearful. No experience needed. Just bring your phone and your questions.
