Ticket Master - New Electronic Paperless Tickets
4/5/2009 at 8:49 AM
Did anyone read that article about Ticketmaster switching to paperless tickets? The first trial will be the Winnipeg Metallica concert.
You will now need to produce the credit card that you purchased the ticket with at the gate to get into the show. This means you will no longer be able to sell your tickets.
The intent is to stop scalping. The only people able to resell(scalp)a ticket now will be Ticket Masters resale company, Tickets Now that is currently under investigation. How convenient.
How does everyone feel about not being able to sell a ticket that you bought?
What if something comes up and you can't make the show? You cannot even give it away unless you send the credit card with the person.
