Ya its been like that for quite a few years for me. They give u the option online to have real tickets shipped, if ordered early or print your tickets out. They also do will call  

It looks like I’m going to have to go with one of those options, which really sucks. I have ticketstubs in a photo album going all the way back to my first show. I got Die Antwoord tickets late last year and there wasn’t a problem so I guess my area was just slow to change the process or something.

sounds like a buncha crap to me.  aint like the tickets are any cheaper these days.   

Yeah, if they were cheaper as a result I’d at least understand it. I’d bitch about it all the same but significantly less. If anything, it’s looking like it’s going to end up being a few dollars more than just buying an actual ticket. Which makes no sense to me. They’re attaching multiple fee’s onto them now instead of just the sales tax/ticketmaster fee.
