I also collect ticket stubs as a way to remember all the shows I have been to. This is why I prefer tickets over printing them out myself. Removing both options will make me very unhappy. Hopefully ticketmaster decides against this move

Let's keep those scumbag ticket agencies and scalpers from charging ten time sthe amount of the ticket price. This system allows the true fans to attend the show. If you can't go then don't buy the tickets. Screw those low life scapling agencies and stubhb and all the rest who profit on re-selling tickets. Thank you AC/DC for setting the stage for future ticket sales!

I bought tickets for AC/DC in Chicago for their gig on the 30th, but the seats are up in the sky lights somewhere. Once the first date sold out, and I had secured my tickets for their first gig in 7 years, AC/DC then announce a second date, which coincidently is on a much more convenient Saturday night! This time I was able to get tickets right down at the front. So Dan’s ‘true fan’ has had to buy a pair of tickets (at $100+ each!) for both dates, and I now have no way of selling / returning the unwanted tickets for the first gig.
I will repeat exactly what I have told Ticketmaster. The paperless ticket system is plagued with flaws, especially when Bands sell tickets well in advance of the gig at high prices, and then decide to announce extra tour dates with no advance notice. In such circumstances, I feel I have a right to return / sell my unwanted tickets!!

I bought presale ACDC tickets and they are paperless. I found out I can not go to the event, but I'm stuck with them.
I wrote all the info down upon purchasing them, the cc used, etc..
I hope they decide to give folks an option for paperless, print out tickets or will call tickets in the future.

It's easy to see that this procedure prevents the gifting or resale of a ticket which is necessary when plans fall through.
Once again the general public suffers because of the few scalpers. And scalpers aren't a problen for the public, just for the greedy artists that aren't satisfied with the ticket prices they set to begin with.

As you may or may not be aware, the "ticketless" policy for this concert is set up so that the cardholder/ticket purchaser MUST attend the concert and present with their credit card and an ID. This means if I cannot attend for ANY reason (work, illness, WHATEVER) NO ONE in my party can attend either. I am not allowed to give MY tickets (tickets that I paid for and supposedly "own") to my husband, my friend , my father, ANYBODY....to ensure that my money is not wasted and the children will get to go to the show. If I paid for them and I own them, I can't use them as I choose. I cannot attend and I am now without $400 or the ability to allow my daughter to attend with another person.
How does this effect people whose children are older and would like to allow them to attend without a "grown-up" since they are old enough to be there alone? Those people would have to pay $100 and sit through a concert they don't want to attend, so that their older kids could go. Many 15 or 16 year olds might be allowed to attend the concert with friends, but surely do not have their own credit cards yet. That's another adult going who doesn't necessarily want to, and who now has to spend $100 on a ticket.
This is THE most customer unfriendly situation. While I understand and appreciate the need to cut down on scalpers, I do not understand why my freedoms must be cut. It is ridiculous that if at the last minute I am unable to attend because of my work schedule, I am I out the $100 for MY ticket, AND $300 for the other 3 as well because you don't give me an option to give my ticket to someone else who can take my daughter and her friends. Sounds like you will have a class-action lawsuit coming when there are a lot of disappointed fans and empty seats because life just doesn't always go as planned.
It is punishing the many "well behaved" in order to control the few who try to cheat. . Find another way to end the scalping - they are very easy to spot! I could find you plenty of "scalped" Miley tickets right now online, even with your ridiculous rip-off of a "solution"! It seems like in order to protect Mileyworld from scalping, you are willing to STEAL from fans ("Stealing" is what it is too... you take something that I have purchased and do not allow me (or anyone else in my party) to have it if my circumstances change.)
As I write this, I am hoping that it will help, but I am not too hopeful that this unjust, unsatisfactory situation will be resolved. Mileyworld provides NO phone number or ability to be contacted on this matter, or on any other. (Another horrible treatment of fans/customers).
Please some attorney post your services and get a class action lawsuit going! I know there would be hundred/thousands who agree their rights are taken away and have the potential to lost money because of their policies.

Find another way to end the scalping - go after the actual scalpers! They are very easy to spot! I could find you some even now with your new paperless system put in place to PREVENT scalping. It's not working - just hurting the regular people!

They need to change their policy.

Q. What if I'm not going to the show, but I purchased the tickets?
A. If you bought the tickets for a friend or family member, you will need to take them to the entry gate and still present your credit card and government issued ID
My husband will be taking me and our daughter to the concert to show his credit card and ID and then leaving. So for all the husbands, parents and grandparents out there all you need to do is take your child to the event show your credit card and ID retrieve the ticket and then say bye bye. You are not required to stay and attend, just show that you exist.
I admit that this may not be the best system but I was not able to get any tickets to Miley Cyrus' last concert and this time I was so I like a system that will at try to make sure that I don't have to pay in some cases three time the face value for a ticket.
