Vent of the day

What is the deal with the Ticketmaster security check?

OK I know they have to go to great measure to make sure that no one fraudulently purchases mass numbers of tickets through some automatronic robot. I understand the concept of a security check word. I even understand it not being in Arial font, but instead having a loopy, mysterious look to it.

But what is up with this:



"Type both words separated by a space below"?!

Words that are not even real words ("vaude")?!

Blurred loopy font...with a LINE THROUGH IT?!

I really don't know why this is necessary. I just wanted to buy tickets to a concert, but I kept getting error messages at the security checkpoint, so now I'm too annoyed to continue.

Pfft. Or, pFfT.
