I was on their website trying to purchase seats for an upcoming Maroon 5 concert at the Hollywood Bowl &#8212; which wasn&#8217;t easy considering I was typing with my right hand while holding my nose with the left &#8212; when I came to the obligatory &#8220;Captcha&#8221; screen that is used by many websites to weed out automated bots.<\/p>\n<p>I think most of you are familiar with Captcha. Normally, you&#8217;ll see something like this:<a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/captcha.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-19478\" title=\"captcha\" src=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/captcha.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"497\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/captcha.png 1024w, https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/captcha-300x128.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 497px) 100vw, 497px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So perhaps you can imagine my surprise when I saw this:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Ticketmaster-Captcha.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-19477\" title=\"Ticketmaster Captcha\" src=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Ticketmaster-Captcha-1024x708.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"497\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Ticketmaster-Captcha-1024x708.png 1024w, https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Ticketmaster-Captcha-300x207.png 300w, https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Ticketmaster-Captcha.png 1178w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 497px) 100vw, 497px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s right. Instead of an innocuous two-word verification code, I got an advertisement with a longer marketing slogan for a password: &#8220;Save with DISH.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now, I won&#8217;t begrudge a company&#8217;s quest to make a few extra cents through strategically-placed advertising; obviously, I do it here on my blog. But this was a bit much for me to take considering that it was coming from Ticketmaster.<\/p>\n<p>Why, I figured, couldn&#8217;t Ticketmaster be satisfied with the ticket sale and their infamous 25% &#8220;convenience&#8221; fee they were going to get after I clicked the &#8220;purchase&#8221; button &#8212; especially considering they&#8217;re the only game in town?<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, I refused to play their game.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, I opted for a new set of words, hoping the traditional Captcha screen would come up. Unfortunately, I got another advertisement from Dish &#8212; only with a new, even-longer, slogan: &#8220;Watch Live TV Anywhere.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I still wasn&#8217;t going to bite. So I hit the &#8220;New Word&#8221; option yet again and got an ad for Dawn Ultra dish soap. This time, however, the ad specified that I had to click the ad box a second time before it would reveal the code. I know.<\/p>\n<p>By now, I was curious to see how much more absurd this whole process could get, so I played along and clicked the ad. That revealed the longest password yet: &#8220;Dawn cleans 2x more greasy dishes.&#8221; I&#8217;m not kidding, folks.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, the Captcha slogans were getting longer with each request I made for a new verification code. And it didn&#8217;t take a genius to see that it wouldn&#8217;t be long before a McDonald&#8217;s Big Mac ad was going to pop up asking me to type, &#8220;Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, I knew that if I was going to get any tickets before they sold out, it was in my best interest to enter that dang dish soap tagline into Ticketmaster&#8217;s new money-making Captcha tool.<\/p>\n<p>So I swallowed my pride and typed.<\/p>\n<p>A few minutes and $55.40 in &#8220;convenience&#8221; fees later, I had four tickets in my hand to see Maroon 5 at the Hollywood Bowl.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;d think I would have been happy after <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id12985-i-just-made-the-biggest-impulse-purchase-of-my-life-but-its-ok.html\">scoring tickets to a high-demand event<\/a>, but I wasn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Then again, with Ticketmaster, that&#8217;s par for the course.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: smaller;\">Photo Credits: cafefrenzy.com; Len Penzo <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most of you know I&#8217;ve had a hate\/hate relationship with Ticketmaster for a long time now.
