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.

    the wild thing is pearl jam tried to warn everyone back in the day and they received such backlash.

    that’s so terrible though i wish there was a way to get tickets without them :(

      And see ticketmaster isn’t even the one who loses out in this scenario.

      I lose out the most, but also AEW loses out too. I won’t be there to buy merch. I hear their attendance figures are low. Well at least 1 person has the money, but can’t go. Who knows how many other less vocal people this has happened to in various other cities.

      So I lose, AEW loses, and ticketmaster won’t care. Because I’m 1 person, and they’ll go on without me.
