Electronic ticketing. Ugh.

I paid giant money to see Dave Chapelle and Chris Rock this Sunday night. Someone told me the secret code to get into the online ticket sale site to buy tickets before the actual day of sales. That seems weird that there is such a thing, but boy did it ever work!

So then I start getting all these email Messages from the concert venue telling me that I need to put the tickets in my Apple wallet. Well, guess what, I’ve never set up my Apple wallet and I don’t wish to do that. So while I’m mulling that over my old Apple phone decides to shut off. At the moment it’s back on, but it seems to have trouble holding a charge. But using a Wi-Fi connection I went in to try to follow the directions of the ticket venue but none of it made any sense when I set up an account with Ticketmaster as requested. Ticketmaster said I had no tickets on file. Maybe that’s because I didn’t put them in my Apple wallet?

So by today I’m scared because again did I mention I spent giant sums of money on these tickets? and I’ve got to be able to get into the venue on Sunday night. So I went downtown to the box office and a nice lady assured me that my tickets are “there“wherever that is and she sent them digitally to my text box. And, she gave me my “account number” so if something doesn’t work that account number will get me in.

TLDR: I am old and I want a paper ticket, do not make me jump through all these digital hoops. so why don’t you Mr. Venue just charge me an extra $20 and mail me an mf paper ticket?!!?!
