    I think I can type my correct one just as fast as an incorrect one.  So not sure where the time saving is.  But thanks.  All suggestions are appreciated!  In the same line of thinking, copy and paste it.  But I'm not sure if that is quicker either.  In the really old days when the TM screens were different and there were no dots for seats, I had a programmable keyboard.  One keystroke and the whole TM form was filled in and submitted.

    It may be quicker to type the wrong code and hit "buy," because at that point the system lets you fix the error and won't let someone else buy. I'm skeptical that (a) it works, (b) it's actually quicker to type the wrong code than to get it right the first time

    Interesting. I'm guessing it won't accept a single digit - it prob needs three digits (or 4 for Amex)

    Remember in early February, when folks were wondering/complaining why F2F hadn't started yet? Can you imagine having done this F5 none sense dance for even longer than we have!?!?!

    A few Oak 1 100 level pairs across from the stage have popped up in the last hour. Nothing too great, but better than behind the stage. 111 row 26 on there now.

    How long did it take you to fix it? It's certainly possible that no one else was F5ing at that moment.

    This is what I get for not having auto refresh at work and going it for manual bursts of refreshing once in a while.

    2 -3 min to fix... kept declining my stored card and had to add another one. .. card is fine, seems it locked in on the wrong CV as the second order for GA was on my stored card. but also declined the first attempt

    this is an interesting theory. The assumption is that the decline comes back from the CC company quicker than the approval. The second part of the theory is that TM links the tix to the person based on the decline. I can believe the first part, but the 2nd part is what has me skeptical. Happy it worked for you, but not sure I want to test it out considering how sparse the B'more tix have been lately. But the other side of that argument is that using the right CV hasn't gotten me tickets yet, so maybe this is a "F it, why not" moment
