So AEW is coming to my town, and I want to go. One problem. Ticketmaster.

In order to sign up for an account, you need to create an account. In order to create an account, you need a phone number. They will not accept my voip phone number, which is what I use.

Ticketmaster says that I need to go out and buy a cell phone, AND sign up for a monthly plan. Just to buy tickets.

Money is in my account. I can pay for my tickets right now. I’ve been trying since yesterday when they went on sale.

But I can’t create an account, because of a lack of a cell phone number.

The box office won’t be open until october 18. Show is on October 30th.

So I’m sure all the good seats will be gone by then.

Guess I’m not going to a show I’ve wanted to go to for 2 years. I couldn’t go last year because I was dealing with cancer, and had $0 income.

    You need a smart phone now too because I don’t think physical tickets are a thing anymore

      This venue I can get physical tickets. If their box office were open, I could buy one right now…but they’ve closed their box office until Oct 18th, as that’s their next event.

      I found this strange because paper tickets would be desired as souvenirs. I tape them to my stereo cabinet, when I actually get one.
