Recently I attempted to buy concert tickets from a well known ticket seller. It insisted I was a bot, even after disabling my uMatrix and uBlock Origin. There was no way to prove that I was not, not even a CAPTCHA. So I decided to simply not buy any tickets.

This is just one example. I get increasingly frustrated by how shit everything is and my way of dealing with it is to disengage. It is rather sad, but I was not put on this earth to wrangle apps, QR codes, verification codes, passwords, usernames, e-mails, TOTP codes, updates, activation codes, etc.

I recommend buying tickets directly at the venue instead of ticket resellers. In most cases they will presell tickets at the door and you can almost always buy some at the door on the night of the show - unless it some superstar probably ymmv

I would have done that if the venue were closer to me, but it's just a little too far away for that. There might be tickets available just before the show, but I'm not willing to risk driving all the way there just to be disappointed and drive all the way back.
