Once the ticket has been delivered to you, storage and display is at
your risk. There's no safety net even if (for example) your phone is
lost or destroyed.

While I realise the same is true of paper tickets, they are probably
harder to lose.

That's a matter of debate methinks.

I either collect my paper tickets on the day, or in advance and keep
them in a safe place at home.

Keeping my phone charged up - especially at the end of a long day in
London, is an issue. As is for some people not dropping them (my son
has smashed two in the last year).

All I was saying that similar mishaps can befall paper tickets and they are
smaller and easier to mislay inadvertently. So both methods are subject to
risks that can be guarded against.

I carry an external battery pack precisely to ensure my phone keeps working
all day.
