Furthermore, a general trend I've observed recently is that most venues are much less strict than they were just a month ago.
The codes aren’t exactly the same. The ones you get by scanning also list the place you are at under the code. So although your screenshot seems to work most places there are a few where they actually check and it won’t work. Cages is such a place for instance.
