  • The government knows who you are. They know your age, your address and know you exist (probably).

    You go to a site that requires ages verification. You say:please verify me with the government portal. You go to that portal to get a temporary id code to give to the site. The website says to the gov portal give me the name and age of the user with this temp ID. You approve that access. Portal sends age (or an is over 16/18/21 etc flag) to the site.

    • Gov portal doesn’t need to know who the site is.
    • You don’t provide a unique ID to the website, just a temporary one.
    • as if codes are temporary, you must have access to the id/login now, not just at some point
    • Site only gets the data you approve/it requested,.not everything.

    The process can do with some streamlining, but should work in practice?












  • But we are not selling at a profit! The ticket is the same price!

    It’s an expensive business though, so we have to charge a processing fee. Of course, to make sure the ticket is legit, we also need to charge a ticket verification fee to ensure that. Card companies are bandits nowadays too, so we are forced to add a card processing fee to cover that, as well as a reservation fee to cover the cost of holding your ticket while you go through the purchase process.

    We also add mandatory cancellation insurance (through our sister company) to ensure we don’t have to refund you if the gig is cancelled, only 10% of cost, a bargain!

    What do you mean that’s excessive!?! We have to cover costs, the staff costs for our 3 support agents and our hard working CEO alone is crippling, this barely makes us break even!
