You ever time yourself from the first click through “pay now”? Should try it with a stopwatch. When you saw them and clicked did it say they were already gone or did it let you go through checkout and then give an error?DZ15838 said:There is zero chance anyone was faster than me on that last drop. But. I briefly saw them and clicked and they were already gone. So is someone here quicker then me? Professional scalping operations? 8,873 other PJ fans not on this thread? I need to know more about my enemies. What's the general sentiment?
and is this awesome nfty notification messaging (whose creator I am very appreciative of) getting its signal from a person hitting F5 or some sort of scraping\API?0 -

Why is TM/LN asking if I want a code sent via text or email? I have NEVER been asked that before when purchasing tickets. Is that just a F2F sort of "verification" that you're not a bot?

Thanks for the info @SHZA. I guess I was in a queue and didn't realize it (got the error after entering the texted code). So, using what you shared, if I'm not asked to enter a code, which will be sent via text/email (when trying to purchase F2F tix), I'm "pretty much" at the front of the line?It just sucks though. I've got all my CC data loaded in the browser and only need to enter the CVV code to move forward. Thought I had everything covered.

Well I don’t think you were in a queue. There’s a special screen that comes up that says “join queue” and so forth. It’s used most commonly for initial sales and less common after that. Were you not signed in to your account at the time you selected the tickets to proceed to checkout? That could explain it. Or was it a text to validate your card after clicking “place order”?flanosmasseur said:SHZA said:

This time I didn't get to checkout, but I've seen checkout before getting the error before. Not that it matters, but what do we think the difference is?0 - 
            
If you can move from the main sale screen to checkout they haven’t been purchased yet. If you get an error after clicking “place order,” that usually means someone beat you to the finish line.DZ15838 said:SHZA said:

This time I didn't get to checkout, but I've seen checkout before getting the error before. Not that it matters, but what do we think the difference is?If you click the tickets and it spins for awhile before a pop up saying “sorry loser,” they were already sold by the time you clicked. Sold tickets usually hang around in the list for 30 seconds or so after being sold and sometimes even reappear a few minutes later.Post edited by SHZA on0 - 
            
I you get the another fan beat you to it message, it means another fan has already completed the checkout by the time you clicked on the tickets. If you get to the checkout screen and get the error code at the end, I assume that means that at the time you clicked on the tickets, they were still available, but someone else completed the checkout process before you.DZ15838 said:SHZA said:

            I'm in agreement with everyone here I have no idea how people are getting tickets so quickly.
Before I would just get a blue spinning circle. Then I got error 504. Read about that. Cleared my cache ect.
Then I got error 401. Which possibly means Ticketmaster thinks I'm a bot.
I've literally never had this much trouble getting tickets to any other shows. Very weird.0 -

Nope, didn't get that. Was signed in, clicked on the tickets, entered my CVV (since CC data was already there) and clicked "purchase"...then I got the pop-up about texting a verification code. I then entered it, clicked purchase again, and got the dreaded error code. The entire process (seeing tix available->clicked on them->entered CVV->entered texted code) took about 15 seconds.My biggest thing is trying to discern if it's my CC that is making the popup appear or a TM/LN internal program. Oh well, will try harder the next time.

            And I am by no means complaining. I have reserved seats through 10C, so I'm in the building...just a not-so-great sight line to the stage.

That’s your credit card company. Some cards require that extra step consistently, which will make it difficult if you have competition. Other cards don’t ask for the codeflanosmasseur said:SHZA said:

I’d suggest trying a different card. In this competitive marketplace, it’s going to be difficult to win the race with that extra step.SHZA said:

Well, I've used an AMEX and Citi MC so far (for F2F) and gotten the popup asking for a code to be texted with each one. Guess I need to add my Chase Freedom Visa as a payment option and see how that goes. The only other card I have besides those is a USAA Visa Debit Card for ATM withdrawals. Fingers crossed I find the right card.danofun said:
