Got an e-mail from the local MLB team telling me that I need to install the MLB app in order to redeem the tickets I paid for. Inside the app, there will be a QR code used for admission.
The only thing is:
* I intentionally have no Google account, so I cannot install their app.
* They did not make this process clear before I purchased the tickets. They surely had time to do so, given how many steps (and slow loading, RAM bloating steps at that) were required in the process.
* I can get to the QR code page with a web browser on my laptop, but the phone's current IPv4 address is blocked by mpv\.tickets\.com.
Despite my lifelong enjoyment of !baseball, it is not essential. I can skip attending games from here on out or I can attend minor league teams' games. I'm calling the team to see whether they have a way for me to see the game I paid to see, but I won't make a habit of begging to see overpaid drug-users doing something that the rest of us would gladly do for free.
