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.
Use a friend’s or family member’s number. Problem solved.
And then when it comes time to enter the venue, I need their cell phone.
I don’t think so. It’s been a while for me, but they emailed me a PDFs of the tickets. They pushed HARD for me to download their apps but I pushed harder that I won’t, so the tickets were pdf qr codes. Also, they accepted my Google number, even though they said no VoIP.
Edit: also, that was the last time I bought tickets from them. 100% markup for “fees”. Fuck. That. And fuck. Them.
No, you don’t. Nobody is checking that the mobile number matches the number used to book, just that you have the ticket. It’s not uncommon for one person to buy a number of tickets at once for their friends then send the tickets on as an email or screenshot. Every one of the scores of gigs I’ve been to the past 5 years my mate buys the tickets and sends it on to me. You can have it on your phone or print it if you wish.
