    Damn I never thought I'd be trying so hard to get to Baltimore of all places.

    If I had extras for Baltimore I would list them at like 4:17AM on a Tuesday, just so that I could make someone waking up to take a late night leak's month.

    Looking at a screen during a middle of the night bathroom trip is one of the worst things you can do for your sleep.

    This is really BS from Ticketmaster.   I had multiple tickets in my cart and then it says someone else got them. They asked for my cc and everything.  

    I've bought hundreds of tickets and when you get them in the cart you always have time to complete the transaction .  If someone else has them how do they get in your cart?

    What is going on?  


    exactly.  Something is up.  Either they are considered "sold" the moment someone clicks on them or they aren't considered sold until after credit card goes through.  Somehow the moment they appear and I click purchase, they are already sold out.  Yet others get deep into the credit card process before being denied.  Something doesn't add up.

    I wonder if they might be using this opportunity to road test an alternative checkout system where the tickets are up for grabs until someone successfully pays for them, instead of the traditional timed cart system.

    Other random thoughts on my head.

    How many people managed to get into both MSG and Baltimore?  A few hundred maybe at most?

    How many total unused tickets will there be for both shows?  Honestly, I don't think there will be a single unused empty seat for either show.

    As frustrating as it is, I think F2F worked exactly like it should.  Just a serious supply and demand imbalance.

    If you have lots of credit cards saved, delete all but 1.  Also, if you fail to check out, don't refresh!!!  Just go back to the ticket page and refresh by changing qty from 1 to 2 and back. Avoids spam detector.

    Know the security code for your card and type quickly.
     
    Click no insurance.

    Pray.

    I hate to be that guy (as I refresh Baltimore a hundred times after getting declined from 10C, Verified Fan, and public sale) and I'm sure it's been discussed a million times, but why not play the carrier dome or similar?

    It would it would be good to get some data points on whether people are having more success checking out via the app vs. the website. But nobody around here seems to be winning.
