phishtaper Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Woke up Saturday morning all excited about Police tix going on sale. Ive been buying tix for years and my clickitty-click-click fingers run on auto-pilot now. Im a wiz at this. So, I wasnt all that worried about getting good tix. But, of course, for our convenience, the glorious corporation that is TicketMaster has improved the service by adding in a new step. They show you a picture of a word and simply want you to type it. Easy, eh? Welll .... look what I get .... Enter the word as it is shown above Huh?!?! It's not F K G Y Y J ?!?! Hmmm, that was a bit hard, Mr. Ticketmaster. I didnt get it ... Ok, they respond ... how about this, much easier one!? ugh :crazy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 And then they charge you $17 for the "convenience" of having to decypher that bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cully Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 I really want to find the shirt that says TICKETBASTARD on it. I used to see them on lots. I also would love to get the shirt with Jesus diving in front of a soccer net that says "Jesus Saves"Does anyone know where I could get these shirts?

phishtaper Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 I really want to find the shirt that says TICKETBASTARD on it. CafePress.com has lots of other cool shirts too, including this gem ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deranger Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 (edited) couldn't agree more with this thread and with those stupid fucking non-words to decipher. I was going for Allmans tickets running into the same bullshit, is that an F or a G or a J? after the 4th or 5th time, I would look at the word and just fuck it up on purpose to get my next 'word'. Fuck ticketmaster I hate you so much and I curse you for a thousand years. Edited February 18, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewRider Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 When I bought my tickets for Cold War Kids I thought to myself "sweet, tickets are only $14.50" when all is said and done I paid $45.10 for two tickets!!!GRRRRRRR... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 they've been doing that for years. Unfortunately, that is the only way that sites like that can tell the difference between a person and a computer bot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
