Digital Tickets are Lame Compared to Paper Tickets

I have been to over 200 concerts and counting, I can't say that I remember every single one of them and most of them are repeats.

I have purchased a lot of T-shirts, albums, etc.

But the most important part to me, is the ticket you get when you purchase.

There have been a few concerts that I have attended where I no longer receive a ticket. Specifically the time that I saw Iron Maiden at DTE Energy Music Theatre.

I purchased tickets online to the show and chose to pick them up at the venue (I didn't want to pay shipping charges) When I got there, I got up to the will call and they said to take my credit card to the ticket taker. I did, they swiped it, and a receipt like paper rolled out and that was my ticket.

It's not a huge deal, but this was the thing that was supposed to get me inside? I seemed a little jipped for some reason. This ticket that you purchase for a trillion dollars is the thing that gets you into the show. With this whole credit card thing, the margin of error seems pretty big.

At the end of the day, it's all about saving money.

I will gladly pay the extra money for hard tickets.
