Might as well ban the web browser and force customers to use "the phone" while they're at it.

Ticketmaster is already forcing people to use live mobile-app-only TOTP-based rotating QR codes for entry for some concerts.

And some banks are forcing the use of their insecure apps that rely on SMS 2FA.

Ticketmaster wants you to think that you have to have a phone. But I somehow always manage to get in without a phone. And when I do, I complain, calmly, about how hostile, inaccessible, and miserable ticketmaster is. :)
