Sure. But what I'm saying is, you could even bring your girlfriends creditcard, as long as you have your own photo ID.

Exactly the same, that's what I mean.

Card swipe > OK?

Then

ID checking >
-Under age? Fuck off.
-OK? Get in.

(no check of ID against credit card number, so you can attend with your girlfriend/parents/whoever's card)

Swiping the credit card is checking the card, no?

Yes.

Expired cards are fine too as long as the magnetic band still works and the numbers match with those who bought the ticket.

Even non-working magnetic bands are ok as they can manually check the numbers.

And even stolen/missing cards are ok as ticketbastard can reissue the tickets to a new card number (but that is hard to achieve, takes some abundant phone calls and emails to ticketbastard's CS)

I kept the ticket, they didn't take it from me.

I also got a piece of a balloon as memorabilia

Ahh. One swipe presents your 2 tickets or bands or whatever which you provide when you enter. Makes sense enough.

That was actually me being relatively sarcastic and it was probably rhetoric - apologies for being vague and sarcastic.

If you card is expired, you can't use it. You have to contact Ticketmaster and get the details changed otherwise it won't swipe, apparently.

Ticketmaster have been very strict with this paperless ticket policy. You only have like three days to change the card details from when you purchased. You can sell your ticket and it will go back up on the marketplace too. But otherwise, you're pretty much limited to what you can do.
