Are you kidding me? I was just on TM looking for EV tix, and this is the word i got to type in. This new "plan" of TM to deter scalper programs does nothing but fuck us normal people over even more. Scalpers programs arnt set back at all by these lengthy words, it actually slows us regular people down even more allowing them to scoff up even more tickets.

talk about taking it in the ass!

    Scalper programs can't read the words, that's why they're used.

    The brokers are still getting in there; TM is lying when they say they are stopping them because they are getting some of the profits from the brokers

    There was a show on CBC awhile back where they talked about Ticket brokers. They wanted to find out if those word/image things actually worked. So they went to a university and talked to someone in the computer science department. They gave him their own made up word image thing, and it took him almost no time at all to write a little program to recognize what word was imbedded in the image.

    and found it so amusing, I had to do a screencap of it.
