    Every time I try to complete payment it pops up a box processing an AMEX safeguard. I feel like those precious seconds cause me to lose tickets. Does that happen for all credit cards?
    That has never happened to me. If you have a visa (MC may work too, but my Wells Fargo CC is visa), switch and save your payment method with that card. Copy your CVV and paste fast once you see that box to do so. 
    Interesting.  I’m using Amex too and get that screen.  I assumed everyone got that.  I’ll try my visa next time.

    Does anyone that still doesn't have a ticket, have their hotel room(s) booked and they are planning on going down to the show for pre-parties etc... even if they still do not have a ticket the day of? I'm holding out hope that like others have said, closer to show day more tickets will drop and this insanity can stop.
    I do. Planning to make a weekend out of it. Concert Saturday. Yanks game Sunday. 
    I’m thinking since hotels are booked for Baltimore and MSG I’m going down anyway with or without ticket. One part of me thinks it’ll still be fun hanging with the fans but the other thinks how bad it will suck when the doors open with no ticket.

    I think this was already thought out. If you could transfer tickets to a specific person you could ask for addition compensation on the side before transferring them.  Only being able to anonymously buy/sell them keeps them at face.

    I had that issue day 1 with my AMEX and switched immediately to my VISA and never had the issue again.

    SHZA got both tickets (congrats!) , so does that mean SHZA  just has a faster connection than the rest of you?  Or faster fingers?  With my verizon Fios and computer, I am able to F5 approximately 35-38 times per minute.  I think that's pretty fast.

    So if the chance to win tickets onTM is dependent on connection speed, it seems to me that the hat idea might make give everyone more of an equal chance for redistributing tickets amongst ourselves, if needed.  Also we ensure no one else gets them.  

    But putting them back on TM does make it easier in terms of possession of the tickets, entry, etc.

    So anyway, just thinking out loud....wondering what I will do if I upgrade and have a couple to redistribute.  May not happen, as I'm down to about 1hr per day F5ing.
    I don't think my connection is particularly fast. Seems to me refreshing at exactly the right time is more important than refreshing rapidly, if that makes sense. Which basically comes down to luck. I did practice a few times on OKC etc to be able to get through the screens quickly. I still stumbled a bit on the insurance question but luckily got 'em.

    I have a  hotel reservation but no tickets.  I have thought about what to do when it gets closer to the show date.  To go to the show my wife and I have to leave my girls with their grandfather for the weekend.  I had delusions of making the drive to Baltimore and waiting out front the venue in hopes that they release tickets on the day of the show.  But I don't know if they even do that anymore.  It would be terrible to drive all the way down there just to sit outside the venue.  Plus I'd be using up all of my babysitting favors and wouldn't have any left for the Fall.

    What's the best method to avoid the infinite sit tight message?  Is this from toggling between the lowest/best price and it not doing a new captch?  If I constantly refresh I maybe get asked once every 8 minutes for captcha, but if I'm slower at it it seems every time I go to do the next one.

    That’s what I’m thinking. It could still be a fun night with or without tickets.

    You need to use another card other than Amex. I even called Amex and there is no way to defeat that. So much the official card of Ticketbastard.

    I think I might be having the same thing happen with my Chase Visa. Does anyone else have this issue with the box popping up/spinning dials as your card is processing?

    That would be awesome, but I don't see that happening for the fall leg (if it holds). Although frustrating, I think TM and 10c will view this as a success keeping the tickets out of the hands of scalpers. I think if they make that tweak, or any tweak, it won't be until 2021 tour or later, unfortunately. 

    It's going to be interesting if they play Philly.  Wells Fargo center is a comcast tickets venue. This show may be an exception or this could point to them playing the Citizens Bank Ball Park.
    I wonder if that pushes them to play Camden instead of Philly. 
    Way tooooo small a place ..Camden sound sucks 😭😭😭

    I have a reservation in Baltimore in a hotel across the street.  I'm not a big gambler and will not travel without a concert ticket.  I think that means I need to cancel 48 hours in advance.  If I do, I will post here right before I cancel in case anyone wants to grab it.

    I have a Visa and a Discover in there now haven't seen that additional step since. Unfortunately you'll have to try and see when the next opportunity comes. Did I mention how much I miss stubhub?

    I've used two Chase Visas without either getting the box. Citi Mastercard was getting it so I removed it.
