## Resource

A corporate booking agent named Cathal hit a digital brick wall with Ticketmaster after buying eight Westlife tickets using a former employee’s account—now defunct. With no way to get the one-time transfer code, Cathal’s business reputation suffered as he scrambled to replace tickets, all while Ticketmaster’s robotic replies dragged on for weeks. He even asked what happens when someone loses their phone—no answer. The only workaround? A letter of authority at the concert, which felt risky. But after public attention, Ticketmaster finally stepped in, and Cathal got his tickets back—proving sometimes pressure makes machines move.
