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.

    Can you buy physical tickets at the venue directly? Not every arena does this, and you usually have to wait until the day of the event, but it’s often cheaper than Ticketmaster’s bullshit.

      Yes. As stated elsewhere in the replies I can do that, but I have to wait until Oct 18th for their box office to be open. And the show is Oct 30th.

        Ah, I see that now. That’s what I get for replying to the thread before reading the comments.

        Also, yes, fuck Ticketmaster, preferably with some sort of coarse object.
