Why do you need my phone?

Privacy concerns! You did fine with my email login for years, so why are you invading my privacy by requiring my phone number to buy tickets? Maybe because you want to sell my data?

Buggy trash

Holy mother of god the phone otp input doesn't work I can't login it won't let me type!!!!!

Illegally fingerprints your device

Found out today that the app is in violation of Apple’s policy prohibiting fingerprinting devices. After submitting a valid dispute for a ticket the app scammed me out of, the app blocked my device, not just the account, to try to pressure me into dropping the dispute. This would only be possible if the app is in violation of Apple’s policies. Meaning this app is likely also illegally pulling other information from your phone.
