>So do the digital barcodes if you add them to your phones wallet.

??? Last I heard the adding the barcode to the phone's wallet did not work, or at least not reliably. Some older folks I know struggled with it, and I specifically help setup the ticket master app and download the barcode. They mentioned that the app eventually logged them off when they got on site and had to struggle with poor wifi. Eventually got it to work but IIRC it took several minutes before they had a stable enough connection for it.

Does it need an actually Google/Apple wallet or something setup?



Yes, "phone's wallet" actually means Google Wallet or Apple Wallet.

Stuff I add there works for me instantly every time, even with crowded venues and zero connectivity -- as long as I get it ready in advance.

(Not that I am defending this. I'd rather carry a paper ticket, since paper is more durable and far less complex than a phone is.)
