My early exposure to SciFi was from reading Bradbury's books; still do enjoy them. Oddly though, I never knew he was a techophobe. When I saw him speak at a local college some years back he commented on how he never learned to drive and I thought, "How eccentric". But, his talk was not against technology but instead focused on imagination. To be fair, the Internet at that time was a text based bunch of chat rooms so maybe he did not have all the resentment he needed to produce the quotes in the article. Ah well, Ray, your writing stands well and is memorable. And, you're still eccentric.
Why can't TicketMaster refund the ticket? Since there is now no chance for fraud, they can just reverse the charge on the original credit card and then resell the ticket. Of course, that means that they would have to work a bit more because their ticketing application actually has to be more than just a money taker.
