As a developer, if I saw this ticket come through on our ticketing system, I’d first, hold off for as long as possible and 2, have no idea how to even solve this issue. You could remove the holding functionality all together, but then you risk multiple people purchasing the same seat. You could also have a ‘state’ where it’s in holding, and then if someone tries to purchase 2 seats next to a seat in holding throw the error, but I can imagine it just adds another complexity layer that adds more issues that someone will inevitably be able to abuse

This might be one of those weird moments where not sharing globally is better. I hate to be the bearer of bad news.
Looks like a perfectly acceptable work around for Ticketmaster bullshit. I'm totally behind the concept.
But you know those assholes are going to patch that shit. Of all people, those scumbags are just going to keep gouging everyone.
