People didn't have to do what you suggest "had to" be done. Lots of these issued tickets with coupon status marked by UA as "voided" were actually booked by people in Denmark and/or from Denmark and/or with Danish bank cards on the day these tickets were sold. And yet UA voided things for all such customers too. I was in Denmark on the day I became aware of this fare and had locals book it.

And UA did ask passengers for more money in order to transport the customers on the flights as booked on these tickets.
