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.

    Don’t all tickets get bought by the resellers like StubHub nowadays anyway? I don’t think they suck as much as Ticketmaster.

      After you said this, I looked into it. From basic internet search, I see people talking about shows that aren’t this one saying they needed a ticketmaster account to transfer it to.

      I’m going to call them in a bit to verify, but I’m not expecting much.
