Scalp-Proof Tickets

Re “Pearl Jam to Reconsider Its Ticketmaster Boycott” (Calendar, June 14). You left out one fairly important point: Pearl Jam’s tickets are virtually impossible to scalp. I received my tickets for San Francisco and they have my name printed on them and a bar code with which to “scan them for authenticity.” Enclosed with my tickets was a letter reminding me to bring “a valid driver’s license or another form of ID.”
The Ticketmaster system is flawed in more ways than just service fees and I think Pearl Jam was addressing more than just the hypocrisy of Ticketmaster’s monopoly.
There is more at issue here than 50 cents.
