Okay yeah based on those comments, I don't think that's a feature I can account for.

Here's what I have so far:
- largely avoid captcha
- auto refresh every 3 or 4 seconds
- alert sound when tickets are found
- auto click of "Got It"
- auto click of "Next" on delivery page
- auto fill in your CVV number (this was a collosal PIA)
- auto select "no insurance"

What it doesn't do/manual tasks:
- clicking the tickets on ticket selection screen
- clicking "Next" on ticket selection confirmation screen which immediately shows up after you click the tickets ( I may be able to click this one )
- clicking "Place order"

I need to write up some instructions for this later after kids go to bed and maybe I'll put that as a tab on that spreadsheet y'all are using, if that's okay.

Game changer

At what point does this kind of program become a "bot?"

That would be amazing!

Ok back from work and settled in... ready to put some time in. Which probably means no tickets for the rest of the day.

It is a bot

So what I learned in this process is that at some point in the checkout race once the tickets are yours their yours.  When I scored I had put a cc in that I felt didn’t want a secondary code like my Amex. Put my ccv in and got a message saying the was an error processing my card please try again. This went on for what seemed like days.  I switched to another card same thing. It wasn’t until I went to my Amex and immediately got the email that I saw an email for fraud protection from my first attempt.  Once I clicked yes I approve ticketbasterd it took me back to my account and boom complete.  So the guy who posted way back that it doesn’t matter put any quick in the ccv was correct. I did this on my phone.  Good luck

When you're writing code to perform tasks faster than a human can

Wow I got distracted by work, Ohana, and fixing a foo fighters stubhub ticket problem.... come back to like 200 new posts on this thread.  Looks like a Busy balt day!

I'm gonna continue to f5 and post whatever I see but after dropping another $900 on tickets today I'm tapped out on the buying.

I wanna go to Ohana so bad but travel from the east coast makes it hard when I can really only go for the weekend 😭

Honestly as happy as I am about it I'm a little leery about a full band set there. The laid back vibe of the first couple years of the festival seems like it is gonna be squashed, even last year was edging on that. 2016 felt like a backyard bbq with Eddie and Elvis Castello (i strolled in an hour AFTER the doors opened and got rail), 17 Glens short stripped down solo set nearly stole the weekend, missed 18, 19 was bit crowded but still fun. I think there will be soooooo much focus on PJ this year the rest of the festival might turn into just a distraction which would be unfortunate cause it really is an amazing setting.

Hey guys, long time lurker here. Managed to snag the 329 Baltimore earlier using a new chrome extension I wrote, basically a souped up auto refresh. 

Earlier, pearljam92 said "Damn credit card TXT code popped up"... Does anyone know what that means? I am trying to account for different people's experiences at checkout before unleashing this thing and I wasn't sure if that was something different than the CVV code I have to enter everytime at checkout.

Two way authentication? 

It is a form of two factor authentication called 3-D Secure that card issuers/companies are adopting to combat online card fraud and ensure the cardholder is notified of card transactions. As seen on the threads, not all cards issuers are using it and it definitely slows down the process

RefreSHA, what’s your secret? Computer or phone? Auto refresh or not? Some sort of lightening speed internet! Super fast reflexes??

@bucklyshrank very cool! However, I’d caution “releasing this into the wild.” If you’ve had success using it that’s awesome but I imagine this is exactly the type of thing Ticketmaster is on the lookout for. Maybe better to help a few fellow 10cers out privately?
