    Are you at work? Perhaps your IT team has blocked it.

    You may have refreshed too many times in a short period, TM will put folks on a 24 hour lockdown suspecting them of being automated programs.

    I'm at home - it is the craziest thing. Maybe because my wife and I are both on trying to get tickets?

    I think it's the refreshing that does it. If you hammer their server to much they assumed your an automated bot and suspend your IP address for 24 hours. It happens quicker when you have two people doing it because your connected to the same router and appear to becoming from the same IP address (thus double the attempts). I noticed it the most at work when something goes on sale, as everyone who works for the company appears to becoming from the same IP address. Thus we get TM bans pretty easy.

    Luckily I have the TM app my phone when problems arise :)
