Mate of mine goes and fills up at Costco with a photo of the barcode from somebody's card, or so he says anyway. A helpful post from HHR, well done.

HeHasRisen Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Its a pretty blatant lie to be stating on a website tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is a bit worrying is if the staff have been told not to accept screenshots ? Also, on the actual Ticketmaster page there is a blue line moving from one end of the the bar codes to the other all the time, one wonders if they have put that on there to make screen shots problematic ? I do not understand why they are so paranoid about people taking screenshots anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHasRisen Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Just as easy to do a screen recording tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not understand why they are so paranoid about people taking screenshots anyway. A few years ago ticketmaster made announcements about rotating barcodes that change every 30-60 seconds.

Guest Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 8 hours ago, Chekhov said: Just gone on Ticketmaster's website to print out our tickets, and it says : Your Phone is Your Ticket Just display the barcodes below on your mobile device, to be scanned at the door. Screenshots won't get you in. I suspect not all door staff will be jobsworths and stick to that, but even if that's true it's unnecessary extra stress. But if they are inflexible about it how are you supposed to attend a City Hall event if you do not have a smartphone or your smartphone is U/S ? See this thread.

Chekhov Posted July 21, 2023 Author Share Posted July 21, 2023 We went to the City Hall tonight and it was confirmed to us you can get in without a smart phone. All you need is your booking number and ID, you go to the box office, indeed we saw a queue there doing just that. * Went to Halle Orchestra plays James Bond themes, the second time we've seen that show. And fantastic it was too, esp We Have All The Time In The World (Louis Armstrong from On Her Majesty's Secret Service), it's almost worth going just for that one song, fabulous.
