AXS is no better as far as ticket scalpers go. Used them for Cruel World fest last year, they’re just another version of Ticketmaster. Maybe marginally less invasive app-wise, but as far as jacking up event prices they’re the same.
Ticket stubs as a souvenir are a thing of the past, unfortunately. It’s laughable they want to charge for “commemorative” stubs, of course the want to fuck people out of even more money for already ridiculously priced events.
Looks like AXS.com may be an alternate, found it through bandsintown.com

AXS wouldn’t even mail me a regular paper ticket last year. My only options was to pay $20 extra for a “commemorative” ticket. Fuck AXS.

Axs is worse
They force you to download the app. You can get around it with ticketmaster sometimes
AXS doesn’t let you put their tickets into digital wallet.
