A closer look
Before everything went entirely digital, the physical paper used to print admissions was treated like literal gold. Blank thermal ticket stock is strictly accounted for, serialized, and locked inside heavy safes. Because a single roll of this specific paper could be used to print thousands of fraudulent, untraceable entries, venues guard their supply with the exact same paranoia as a bank protecting unmarked bills. Steal the paper, and you effectively possess a license to print unauthorized access.
