I think I may have said this last night, or at least thought it - They know it's specious, but it sounds intentional because those long lines of people standing to buy tickets were gone due to phone sales and computer sales. But they loved those, too, since they got the per-ticket service charge for Telecharge, and that wasn't subject to royalties (even though to the buyer, you can call it whatever you want, it's part of what we paid.).
