OK, Ive been bombed with emails - here is the trick... Just get ANY CV code in your CC will be declined, then go back in fix it ... once it declines the order is yours... .It worked first for PHX where i got lower, then i did OAK one and got GA!!!!!!! worked twice!

Can you rephrase? I’m not following.

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

Well Just got two sets in 10 min, including GA... If not its a stunning coincidence ... Just trying to help

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

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 

I was thinking about more, and the Decline, it means my order is IN, i was the first to get to the processing of the order. the system will not process multiple CCs at the same time. It would be first to hit submit will all the fields filled in. Now if you miss a field it will not accept and start to process the order. But onces it sends an approval request to your CC its yours@

Whoa, standard tickets released for LA2.  Not F2F

Thanks for sharing, was able to grab a pair.  Not the best seats in the house but 3rd row upstairs on the aisle behind the stage.

Someone tell me they got those SD G's like 10 min ago, I was trying to process while stopped at a light and missed...

few decent 200s, and 119s just want for Hamilton

There might be something to this. When I nabbed Baltimore tickets on Sunday, I initially got the "Oops..." red text when I tried to pay. I thought it was the same error that had plagued me earlier in the week of "something's gone wrong and we can't process your order", but it was actually that Chase had declined the transaction and flagged it as fraud. At the sand moment, I got a text from Chase security asking me to confirm the transaction. I texted back "yes", and they told me to redo the transaction. I did, and it went through..

So, either there was literally NOBODY trying to get a pair of the most coveted F2F tickets of this tour, or Craig is on to something.

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

my 3 digits auto-populate - no typing (Visa). on app i have to enter

Any idea how you got it to do that? What browser?

So, are you saying that if you enter 111 as fast as you can, regardless of the correct CV code, that saves you the millisecond in time to come in first, lock up the tickets,  and then you can take your time entering the proper CV code?

Correct!

What about just leaving it blank and clicking it?

I'm thinking then it pops up as an error field incomplete rather than processing...
