I FUCKING HATE THIS SERVICE. Assholes don’t let you delete your account and ask you to go to their privacy policy page and read through 500 pages of text to find the instructions on how to delete your account, only for it to say you have to contact them to delete it, and when you contact them they never respond back other than the automated email response. Absolute cancer that always adds on 20 extra dollars to all of your tickets at checkout time when seats are quickly selling out. FUCK THIS MONOPOLY AND FUCK THE CORPORATE DICK SUCKING MANIACS RUNNING IT.
I noticed that VPN issue when I tried to buy event tickets a while back. Super scummy. They don’t need to know my home IP to sell me tickets. On the app, even if you have location services on, it just refuses you a connection via VPN.
How do they know that you’re on a VPN?
Usually they just check your IP against a list of known VPN IP ranges. But they could also be blocking all IPs from data centers and only allowing residential IPs.
Obstensibly it’s to stop scammers
