So AEW is coming to my town, and I want to go. One problem. Ticketmaster.
In order to sign up for an account, you need to create an account. In order to create an account, you need a phone number. They will not accept my voip phone number, which is what I use.
Ticketmaster says that I need to go out and buy a cell phone, AND sign up for a monthly plan. Just to buy tickets.
Money is in my account. I can pay for my tickets right now. I’ve been trying since yesterday when they went on sale.
But I can’t create an account, because of a lack of a cell phone number.
The box office won’t be open until october 18. Show is on October 30th.
So I’m sure all the good seats will be gone by then.
Guess I’m not going to a show I’ve wanted to go to for 2 years. I couldn’t go last year because I was dealing with cancer, and had $0 income.
That’s funny. I think you fail to realize how big Ticketmaster is. They own most of the venues these shows sell tickets for, so… it’s a much bigger problem and is going to require government intervention.
What an odd argument. How is this a bigger problem than people simply not buying their shit a few times? People are the problem, because they buy it no matter what. Just like with PC games, no matter what, they have to buy.
Neither of you are wrong, but in response to your comment, synchronizing the behavior of enough people to pull this off is statistically nearing zero due to the complexity of the system and the number of people able to comply with the requirements in a way that makes then not feel the pain.
