  • But we are not selling at a profit! The ticket is the same price!

    It’s an expensive business though, so we have to charge a processing fee. Of course, to make sure the ticket is legit, we also need to charge a ticket verification fee to ensure that. Card companies are bandits nowadays too, so we are forced to add a card processing fee to cover that, as well as a reservation fee to cover the cost of holding your ticket while you go through the purchase process.

    We also add mandatory cancellation insurance (through our sister company) to ensure we don’t have to refund you if the gig is cancelled, only 10% of cost, a bargain!

    What do you mean that’s excessive!?! We have to cover costs, the staff costs for our 3 support agents and our hard working CEO alone is crippling, this barely makes us break even!

    There should be age walls for some stuff. What that stuff is and how the walls work is up for debate.

    In this situation (a store) using a payment method as the age wall works well. In other use cases it would not be as good.

    If you could pass an age wall with no privacy loss, then most people wouldn’t have a problem with it (other than mild annoyance)

    IMO: the new law is overreaching, they needed to set up privacy protecting ID verification system first if they were going to go that far. It’s an own goal so far…
