Ticketmaster using monopoly power to force use of app to attend concerts. Can’t even print ticket any longer.
I want to: USE THE TICKETMASTER™ APP FOR MY TICKET, AND NOT HAVE ANY OTHER WAY TO HAVE IT—DEFINITELY NOT PDF.
So that: I CAN HAVE THE CONCERT EXPERIENCE OF THE FUTURE©

They're not allowing that in general any longer. I wasn't allowed to log in to their site this summer without phone text verification.
However, I believe they still have a ticket printer for emergencies, such as when you show up at the window saying you broke your phone, but just happened to print a receipt before leaving.
Still prevents any sort of anonymous attendance.
