I am 2 for 2 on link drops for this tour. But be ready, keep refreshing the link until the ticket(s) HOPEFULLY become available and it brings you to your cart. BE FAST. KNOW YOUR CVC CODE and pray to whatever god you worship....

It happened to me at least twice. I was (still am) desperate for decent Raleigh N1 tickets. Had a kind member dropping me a link and I couldn't even cart them.

It's not the CVC. Even after you enter the CVC you still have to wait for a code to be texted to you and then enter it. This lowers your chances to get them.

some cards do not require the MFA I have started using my Apple card for TM transactions for this very reason.

That depends on the card you use.  I use a Chase Sapphire card and do not have to wait for a confirmation text. It goes right through.
But, I still haven't been able to get a pair. I got to the payment screen once, but was still too slow to fill in the cvv and check the boxes.

That happened to me one of the two times I had links dropped to me for PITT2 earlier this year. Kept refreshing to become available and then no longer available 

Searching for PITT2 and FLA1 pairs or two singles
Can trade good singles for PITT1, PITT2, and ATL2 

Any strategy for this last successful link?

None were successful for me

Damn! This all sucks so bad.

I've had several successes with links both buying and selling but the last was a failure for the person trying to buy my Atlanta lowers..all were done fairly late at night but not set your alarm kinda late.

I had a recent success with a link but it's not always trivial and requires some persistence...

Initially when you open the link the tickets show as not yet available, so I had to keep refreshing that page for 2-3 minutes I believe. Then after that it would get stuck in a blank page which just said "Just a moment" when I tried to add them to my cart, it took a few tries (probably 10+ attempts) at this stage, I had to refresh the page and try adding to cart again.

Then I finally got to the payment page and the first 2 attempts failed after the very last step (MFA), which made me think someone else must have bought them before me, I think I even saw a message at some point that the tickets were not available when I tried to add them to my cart from the link, but I decided to keep trying and then eventually I got them. Might have just been luck and the first couple of failed attempts were because someone else was trying to buy them and Ticketmaster blocked my attempts for some reason, then maybe the other person/bot failed and I got them 🤷

It's become a joke.  PJ/10c/TM really need to get their act together on this ticket issue.

That’s quite discouraging 

Can you get their login instead. That is the safer route.

1. TM needs better technology to actually prevent transfers.
2. 10C needs to enforce the rules and cancel tickets that were improperly transferred to a reseller site and put them all back in a bin for a 2nd lottery (or post them all for sale at the base price all at once).
3. Most importantly, fewer people need to attend so there's more room for ME.

julieooliern

Hahaha point taken.
How about needing 10c codes to transfer tix between club members only

Not all of the tickets sold early went to 10C.  For the Florida shows, for example, certain Hard Rock elite players club members with status at that hotel (not all HRC, just that one) got offered early access to good seats at the base price.

julieooliern

Interesting. Did not know that

I clicked the link and it said tickets weren't ready yet.  Kept refreshing over and over.  Then it said tickets no longer available.  It never gave me the opportunity to cart them. 

FWIW this just happened with a single via the Hollywood FB page as well. I was refreshing the link every 3 seconds and it went straight from "not available yet" to "no longer available"... just thinking about the checkout page, no human (without scripted intervention) could complete that flow fast enough to prevent another human refreshing every 3 seconds from even seeing it. Definitely shenanigans, but we already knew that.

The time it happened for me, it also happened on the same day for other people on different shows. Kinda wrote it off as TM not working right that day. I would be curious to see if anyone else has successful link purchases today

Depressing to read all of this. 2022 and 2023 were great for F2F. Drops worked for the most part and those that put in time refreshing were usually eventually rewarded. Bullshit started last years tour and has gotten worse this year. I guess we can just keep fighting the good fight until something changes.

It changes when venues don't repeatedly sell out and "PJ Premium" are no longer purchased at exorbitant prices. Until then, the business sid of PJ and Ticketmaster love it hard.
