Went to a familiar small venue which has been trying to make a bit of a comeback after covid, but still not weekly live music. Monthly at least for about 6 months now but this month was the first time with a newer "competitive" online ticketing service. I pay cash at the door anyway, often for years which was almost the same price as advance with fees online. Nope this month it suprised me, door man said card only now. So they let me in free, knowing I'm there to support the band and bartenders with good tips anyway.
