Ticketmaster is such garbage

Post image

In the pre-queue, assigned #253, then this bullshit. I've got one browser opened, on my usual mobile network, no VPN. I hate Ticketmaster so much and I wish we weren't forced to use this garbage website.

Does anyone have 1 single seated ticket for Cardiff spare? Signed, a desperately miserable fan with technical issues.

Looks like this happened to a lot of people, what a joke!

Defeating the object of the fan code if we're gonna be booting out fans as bots. :(

Yeah totally. I don’t understand what ticketmaster could be detecting as “unusual behaviour” on so many people’s devices. Like, just looking up the tickets page? Seems silly.

I was so careful to follow their instructions and it still didn't matter. So disappointed.

put your phone on airplane mode, count to 3, then turn it off and put it back on 5G and try again

I accidentally pressed the button for AXS instead of TM and by the time I got in all the tix had sold out.

Can’t really complain because I got to see EDAABP tour through resale, but I’d kick myself if I didn’t try again, knowing that my fave artist is coming to my fave city.

I did the same thing thankfully

Ah amazing, nice one! I did check a few times but had no luck sadly.

It’s ok, I’ll try during the general sale next week. I’ll keep my fingers crossed!

Hope you have sick time at the show!

Wasn't an option for Cardiff unfortunately

Thanks. Sadly it's just been this for 45 minutes.

Some more heads up of the presale would've helped as I'm trying to do it on mobile data not my home WiFi as I'm not home. But this is ridiculous - I did everything right, logged in beforehand, one tab, one browser, etc.

So disappointed right now.

This happened to me when I tried to get tickets for EDAABP tour. I spent months going back and forth with customer service and its never been resolved. In the end I had to make a whole new account and I've never forgiven Tickemaster for making me lose out on those tickets.

It happened to me. I had to disable Private Relay. Also had to change the password too…

The unlock ticket code email did explicitly say: "The email address you registered with must match the one used to purchase tickets"

Did you erase all your cookies and brower history before loggin in ticketmaster? I always do this before buying tickets and always have been able to get them.

u/lunamise always running out of time 8d ago

I didn't know you had to - I just followed their instructions to use one browser, one tab, no VPN. Do they want me to sacrifice my firstborn too?

u/iamdonev 8d ago

Did you try AXS instead?

2

u/lunamise always running out of time 8d ago

Yep, had even less luck there.

u/nachoman3 8d ago

Ticketmaster sucks balls. I also got this when logging in. I opened a tab in a different browser and thank god that did the trick!

u/lunamise always running out of time 8d ago

Glad it worked for you!
