I think you misunderstand. The customers (people buying tickets) are using their own computers, their own internet connection, and their own printers (with that oh-so-cheap ink) to buy and print their event tickets these days. So Ticketmaster is no longer supplying all that specialized equipment to the stores and no longer has those costs.
- kbenson 11y agoFor some venues and ticket types, you can just let them scan the PDF on your phone. For a subset of those, there's an actual mobile ticket type where the only way to get in is to show the ticket from the TicketMaster/LiveNation app, and there is no PDF.
- smackfu 11y agoAh I see. I'd still argue that the cost of supporting online purchasing more than makes up for the cost of printing paper tickets.
