Why do you make it impossible for people without a credit card to meet you via Meet&Greet? I just wanted to buy a package for a concert I bought a ticket for and see that they only accept credit cards... ok, I could ask my uncle or someone, no problem, but now comes the real problem: For concerts in Germany, only Will Call is available as "shipping" and I need the credit card that has been used to purchase the ticket for this... how should anybody manage to do that?
I have a PayPal account and I'm willing to see the band that inspires me the most of all, but you're making it extremely difficult, not to say impossible for me :frown:

PayPal would be a great and safe method to pay for M&G packages...

Definitly it's a problem. Another one with the credit card system is that my sister bought me, for my birthday, the M&G. So I need her credit card to attend the event. But now she lives 600km from me. So it's gonna be hard to get her credit card without putting her at a disavantage.

I think the problem is that the Americans have no such thing as a "Personalausweiß" or "Carte D'Identite" and therefore need another thing to verify the personality... such as - guess what - a credit card...

Well I don't think that the band decides the payment methods... But paypal would be good!

What about a prepaid credit card? Do they have those outside the US?

I'm assuming that means "ID Card"...and yes, each state has an ID that we use as a driver's license.

These days, most adults have a credit card or debit card. The ability to use things such as paypal open the door for fraud.
You pay with paypal, what is stopping me from coming up to the window, saying that I'm you, and taking your passes? All I need is your paypal ID!

Requiring a credit card is a form of authentication and security. If you have paypal via a checking account, then you can most likely get a debit card that can also act as credit card for things like this.
