If can wrap your head around the tech, that person figured out how the codes are generated, and made a web page that could make them (without cracking or 'stealing' an unpaid ticket)

Dumbphones

Smartphones dominate the world. But have we become smarter by using them?
This community is oriented for people who prefer either so-called "dumbphones" or "feature phones" in order to regain control of their life.
Here is a very simple set of rules to follow:
- Don't be rude to others.
- Don't harass or shame somebody for not being hardcore dumbphones fan. Everybody does it his own way.
- Keep this community simple: discussions must be dumbphone or smartphone-oriented, not about dogs or food.
All in all, enjoy your time here :D

Just stop using TicketMaster or going to LiveNation shows. It sucks missing out on some artists, but small venues offer 100x better experiences for a fraction of the cost anyway
That's what I do. It's so much better. And then I have a ton more money to spend on merch for smaller bands.
Work had a free baseball game. Had to carry an iPod touch with me.
There still is an alternative to the app. I used it a month ago. You still need a smart phone though.
Choose your venue / whatever. I. E. I was visiting NYC and went to watch the Yankees. So I search for the Yankees, and my ticket shows up. It will show their fancy barcode thing in the browser and it works just fine.
