AC/DC Tour Latest To Employ Ticketmaster's Paperless Ticket Technology

The following report is courtesy of Allison Reitz Ticketnews.com:
Hard rock icon AC/DC is the latest band to use Ticketmaster's paperless technology. Select seats for the upcoming Black Ice World Tour will be available on a strictly paperless basis, while other seats will still be available as conventional hard tickets.
Although the band has not made an official announcement about the move to go paperless, several AC/DC listings on Ticketmaster.com carry a disclaimer that hard tickets will not be issued. "Please note that tickets for fan club members, as well as specific sections can only be delivered via Ticketmaster's Paperless Ticket Delivery and are non-transferrable," the notice stated.
As of Wednesday morning, September 17, only the band's November 15 gig in Washington, DC, and the November 28 show in Vancouver, BC, carry the paperless notice. However a September 15 staff posting on the ACDC.com forum stated that the ticketing policy would be the same for all dates and venues.
"Tickets for the Fan Club will be paperless," the staff post read, "so scalpers will have a hard time fulfilling that. Good luck to them."According to other posts by forum staff, 10 percent of venue tickets will be reserved for fan club members, who are limited to a total of two tickets. The face value for tickets will be in the $90 range, with public and fan club onsales starting simultaneously over the weekend. Further announcements on AC/DC's move to paperless tickets are expected in the near future.
