Someone gave me free tickets to see Dave Chappelle. But I had to download the app and give TM all my personal information to get in. I declined.
Comment on Scalpers Work With Hackers to Liberate Ticketmaster's ‘Non-Transferable’ Tickets

I absolutely fucking hate Ticketmaster’s way of doing this, because they require access to your phone. And they won’t let me use my normal VPN, or anything that blocks them from having location access. I would rather drive to the goddamn venues–what are about 90 minutes from my home–and buy tickets in person, than to deal with Ticketmaster or AXS “security” measures that attempt to circumvent my security.

While you’re forced to use ticketmaster you can still avoid installing their app via am.ticketmaster.com

When I go to that right now, from my desktop, I get:
Your Session Has Been Suspended Something about your browsing behavior or network made us think you were a bot. What can I do to resolve this?
Try again from a different device or a different location Ensure you have enabled JavaScript in your web browser Remove any third party browser plugins that may be running
This is because I run all my traffic through a VPN, and Ticketmaster isn’t able to harvest information from me that it wants. It expects me to allow them full access to who I am and where I am, rather than just giving me what I’m paying for.
