Isn't this vulnerable to ticket 'selling' by simply sharing the username and password of the ticketmaster account?
it's not like a ticketmaster account is 'worth' anything, so the seller can simply set up a new one for their next purchase.
- pxx 2y agoactually, aged ticketmaster accounts are worth something! people will buy them for a few dozen dollars, as they get priority in ticket queues.
- blincoln 2y agoSetting up separate accounts for every ticket purchase seems like a LOT of overhead (especially scalpers buying many tickets at once and piecemealing them out), and is easy to defeat, e.g. require out of band auth via the phone number associated with the account before logging in for the first time on a new device.
- rty32 2y agoBased on the highly questionable PS/Xbox accounts sold on eBay, I think that's just what scalpers could do as part of their everyday job.
- Closi 2y agoWell you can transfer the ticket to someone else for free anyway, so not really an issue. Or you can transfer it to another name and print it out - just the name on Ticketmaster's system has to match some ID you have in the print scenario.
