There's a shoebox somewhere with your ticket stubs in it. You kept them because you were there. But can you remember what actually happened at half of those games? ploro is the new way to collect ticket stubs. CHECK IN WHERE IT COUNTS Check in at the stadium when you're actually at the game. Verified by GPS at the venue — no faking it from your couch. Every check-in becomes a permanent record of a game you attended, with the story of what happened in it. COLLECT THE STADIUMS Work through the checklist of every venue across the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, and college football. See which ones you've been to and which are still waiting. BE RANKED AS A FAN Earn Rank Points for showing up. Rank comes from attending games and witnessing rare moments in person — never from spending money. BADGES FOR WHAT YOU SAW Walk-offs, overtime thrillers, road trips, cross-country travel. If you were in the building for something memorable, you get credit for it. KNOW IF YOU'RE GOOD LUCK ploro tracks your team's record in the games you attend and compares it to their real record. Are you good luck, or does your team lose every time you show up? PLAN THE ROAD TRIP The Ploro Sports Trip Builder puts together a real multi-game itinerary from live schedules — including same-day doubleheaders — with drive times, flights, and cost estimates. BRING YOUR PEOPLE Share game-day photos to your feed, start a private crew with friends, compare stadium collections, and see where everyone's been. Free. No ads to swipe away. No purchases.
