Yeah that wasn't too bright, I dont like the whole print your own tickets thing. There has to be a better way of getting around all this scalping and forgery. I think the best way is to eliminate actual tickets, and go from there. Something like a TicketMaster card with a bar code, you buy it from TM its got your info on it and a bar code and use it to buy tickets and the ticket info should be stored on the card at the TM outlets, so only you can use it, then at the show they scan it and the info comes up on some type of portable data terminal. Maybe thats dumb or far-fetched a bit, but I think there has to be a better way.
Imagine a world before the "beginning was the word.”

thats a pretty good idea man :thumb: but i wonder if they did do something like that people might hack the cards themselves kinda like when folks hack the bell xpressvu cards to get free satelite, all the channels...
I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!

What were these people thinking? THis reminds me about the scam you hear about on the news every once and awhile. Someone gets a phone call saying they won a thousand dollars, but first they need to give their visa number to collect :wink:
