    I booked tickets for a concert in the US online. All I had to show was my credit card at the gate. Unfortunately, my international credit card was not recognized. It seems that the card readers at the center[^] were not connected properly to serve international customers. I ended up losing $300 :((.

    So you didn't take a copy of the booking confirmation with you?

      I assume this is a joke for my benefit, I'm going to the same venue to use my card to collect tickets tomorrow night. Only I believe Maiden tomorrow night is the first time that system is being used.

          When you come tomorrow with "Why Ticketmaster sucks." on a thread, he can legitimately cry "REPOST!" Personally, I find this beyond brilliant.

          If I have accidentally said something witty, smart, or correct, it is purely by mistake and I apologize for it.

                      Yes, I have that with me, for the same reason. But, it's never been an issue.

                              Contest the charge. If they didn't uphold their end of the contract there's no reason for you to uphold yours.
