I just got BTS ticket form presale and I wanted to thank you so much for your videos. They’ve helped me to get the seat I wanted, etc. Thanks so much for everything
I have never used flexpay before so I am only speculating, but I would imagine that they would be since your payments would extend past the event date in some cases. Again, I haven’t used the service before so I can’t comment with any certainty. Anyone on here used it before and have some insight?
I'm leaving this here even though I binge watched all of your verified fan videos in preparation for getting Harry Styles tickets yesterday. I followed all of your advice. I didn't do any of the things my instincts told me to do: register multiple times, open multiple tabs, use my phone & laptop at the same time with same account, & refreshing. The not refreshing was hardest. I got in line at 2000+ and it took everything in me not to refresh many, many times. Ugh. Final result was it took around 30 minutes for me to get in to buy & thanks to you, I made a list of desired seats because most were gone by the time I got in. I used the list, not the map, & managed to get 2 tickets to see Harry Styles in NY! Success!! I just wanted to say thanks because I know I would have done it all wrong & not gotten any had I not known what NOT to do. I also passed along the info to my friend because she wanted to try for LA. She also managed to get decent tickets! Now we're going twice! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥳
I’d go iPad I think. I much prefer using the Ticketmaster app as the map is a lot easier to navigate. You can select sections you like and then have a list of options available. Much easier than selecting individual seats!
I just want to say thank you for making these videos. They really helped me get tickets after stressing out about it, and also helped to ease my nerves. I was prepared and good to go cuz of you, so thanks man
I also was able to obtain the seats for BTS I could only dream about before. Thank you so much for all your information, it really was so so helpful for this process (since I haven't bought tickets to a concert in like 20 years). I had no idea what to do and was super intimidated until I saw your video. so seriously...thank you SO much!
I’m always happy to hear when someone is able to successfully buy the tickets they were going for 😄🎟 and thank you very much for the kind words. Anytime you know of someone who needs help with tickets, feel free to send them my way 🙌🏽 enjoy the concert!
Thank you so much for this!!! It's helped me so much, as I've been doing a lot of research on TM and everybody pretty much keeps repeating themselves. But you've made a lot of really great points! I'm just wondering, do you know how to buy soundcheck packages??? There are two of them for the BTS concert, however I'm not sure if they're altogether with a ticket or separate. If you can't answer, that's alright! I appreciate you making this video 😊
I’m not the best person to answer this one, but from what I’ve seen and read it looks like those would fall under the VIP tickets that will come available during the presales. VIP tickets generally include a ticket to the show as well as the experience (ie soundcheck). Would still be best to confirm this with someone else though to be on the safe side ☺️🎟
Hey I love your videos! The last time I bought tickets I was completely blindsided by the bots and scalpers.I am hoping that your videos will get me more prepared for the Lady Gaga concert this time around. I’m not sure if this question was asked, or answered yet. What is the earliest that the queue opens up for fans to wait? Thank you!
I have a question just to be sure, so if the BTS event have multiple shows and the presale goes on the same day for all the shows can I still use the verified fan presale code to buy tickets for multiple shows on the same time?? If yes then how?? Thank you for all the help you're amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You can buy tickets for multiple shows for BTS with the same code, yes. BUT. I don’t know if you’re able to join multiple waiting rooms for the same hour for different events or not as this is a new process for the Verified Fan process. If you normally open a second tab during a Verified Fan presale, it would give you an error and tell you to return to your original device to complete your purchase. With the way they have worded it, it makes it look like you could join a waiting room for different events at the same time but I don’t want to recommend it since it could potentially be a problem for you. Evaluate your risk level and react accordingly 😊
😂😂 I think you’re behind like 50 other people who’ve asked me already looool. But honestly I have the worst luck with VF presales aha. You got the skills now, you can do it! 😎🤞🏽🎟
First of all, thank you so much for taking the time to answer all of these questions!!! This may have been answered, but my head is a total jumble of information right now. I am hoping to get my daughter tickets for BTS in Atlanta. We both have Ticketmaster accounts and we both registered for the presale. IF by some miracle we both get codes, can I sign in to each of our accounts on the same computer, but using different browsers or will this kick me out? I also have my cell, but I don't get a great signal in the office, so I'm worried that will be problem. Any idea on how long the queue might last? Do I need to plan on possibly staying late at work that day?
You should be using separate devices for each account, as you can run into errors using the same device with two accounts. The account that’s yours should be used on your faster connection device, and then could use your daughters account on your phone. It may or may not work depending on signal, but still should focus on your main account. The queue will likely take 30 mins to 1+ hour depending on your placement, but should there be any issues from Ticketmaster’s end, you could see that time take even longer. Give yourself at least an hour of time, hopefully it takes less but I think it’s fair to expect that kind of wait time. Good luck! 🤞🏽😄🎟
Thank you so much for the informative video! If I just want the best available seats without the hassle of clicking on the map, how would we go about that in Ticketmaster? Whenever I go to look at tickets, there isn’t an option and it looks like I have to click around the map. Thanks again for all your help
If you want the best seats available (excluding VIP/Soundcheck), you can potentially sort by ‘best seats’ in the filters tab. It’s not perfect but it helps. Also, if you want VIP/Soundcheck type seating options, just make sure you select those options in the ticket filters so it will display them for you
SO!! Thank you for everything!!! Just a super quick question to clarify it. So once we’re waiting we should NOT refresh like at all right?? Once we’re on the countdown what will happen?
Correct, don’t refresh. When the waiting room countdown hits 0, the page will do some processing and will move over to the actual queue where you’ll be placed in line. Wait for that number to hit 1 (next in line) and the page will then automatically move you into the ticket buying page for you to enter your code
hi!! thank u for making ur vids about all this Ticketmaster stuff, it’s very helpful and informative. i just had a quick question regarding vip/sound check tickets and will call tickets, if i were to purchase a will call ticket with my mom’s credit card would her name be on the ticket or would the Ticketmaster account name be on it?
Just want to make it easier for everyone to buy tickets! It would be tied to the account holder, not the credit card purchaser. So if the account is in your name but using her credit card, then it will be able to be picked up by you at the event, not whoever’s name is on the credit card. With that being said, would be good to bring the card with you just in case they need to verify it when you pick up the tickets, but it’s normally not necessary
When you get to Ticketmaster, just make sure you search for BTS and then select the event you want to purchase tickets for. At that point you’ll go through the waiting room process for that specific event. It’ll also display the event info for you so you know what you’re actually waiting for haha. Should be very easy to identify the right event so you get into the correct waiting room ☺️
Hello! Thank you for your videos!!! It has helped a lot! I have a couple questions about the BTS concert pre sale. Do u have to use the special link TM gives u on ur mobile device to purchase the tickets? Or can u log in to a laptop or desktop? If u can only use ur mobile device, how can u open multiple tabs on ur phone to buy tickets for other dates? Would TM give u problems? They said u can have multiple tabs open for different dates. Thank u!!!
You should be able to go directly to the event you want to buy for without the code, but if it doesn’t seem to let you join the queue then go back and use the link they sent. If you use a mobile device, it will not be possible to have multiple tabs going at the same time without risking one of your screens having issues potentially. Use a desktop/laptop instead for multiple tabs on the same device
Hey I got a small maybe a stupid question, but lets say I bought one ticket. However, i can't attend to the concert do to circumstances in life. I want some tips on how it work with ticketmaster. If you understand this question. By the way thank you for the tips it help me get the ticket but you know things happen. Now I can't go. I want to know how resaling it back works ECT... I do really want to go to the concert but I can't go now. I don't want it to go to waste
Well if you wait until tomorrow, I have a video going up explaining how to sell your tickets back through Ticketmaster. Essentially, you just need to list the ticket for sale, you set the price, and then wait for someone to buy it. Once it sells you get paid. Simple as that!
First off, thank you for this. BTS ticket sales are always so stressful. If I have two separate accounts with different emails and phone numbers but the same card will I get kicked out? If everything but the card is different will it not let me buy the ticket?
It won’t kick you out, but if you’re lucky enough to get codes on both accounts, you may run into an error when trying to check out if you bought tickets for the same event with both accounts. Ticketmaster will be able to match up the same credit card info and potentially cancel the second order, or it just won’t let it process at all. But you will be able to buy tickets with at least one code 😄
That’s fine, as long as you have permission. But it won’t block you from purchasing tickets. Just make sure that card isn’t being used to buy more tickets than the ticket limit allows
Thank you so much for the help and info!!! I was wondering if Ticketmaster is good about sending codes out the night before presales like they said they would? And what's the latest you can receive a code?
They are good for sending out confirmation emails regarding if you’ve been Verified or not the night before. As for codes, they keep changing up the process. Sometimes it’s in the email itself, other times they will text it to you a few hours before. But as long as you get the Verified email, you will know the next steps and shall be ready to buy the next day!
Does it matter if I get on the site and wait a couple hours early? Could it up my chances and getting in sooner or hinder them? Is it better to just click the link right when the waiting you is about to open? Also thank you so much for being awesome helping us out!!
Getting there early will have no bearing on your placement at all. So long as you are there before the waiting room timer hits 0, you will have the same chances as someone who shows up 4 hours early.
Hello! Thank you so much for making these videos. I am preparing for the verfied fan registration in Ticketmaster SG. I have 3 accounts with different email and numbers. one is named after me and the other 2 are from my parents (numbers are theirs as well). Will I be having issues?
Also getting ready for BTS tickets for my daughter. How long is then verified fan code good for? . Are we able to to sign in, sign out and come back in a couple of hrs or next day, if we don’t see the section or row that we really really want. I’ve heard that they release different sections etc and time goes on. When trying to get a fair price is it better to bye general admission or this official platinum, which I’ve never before. What’s the difference? Thanks so much. Great info!
Because of the quick turnaround on each presale, they will generally be active for coming back until 10 pm of that same day or until all tickets are sold out from the presale allocation, whatever happens first. I would not suggest to try later in the afternoon as tickets may all be sold out by that point for the presale you’re trying to purchase for
Thank you so much for this helpful video! I have a question.. do you have to put in your credit card information before going in presale? If you don’t put it will you loose the tickets?
You do not need to enter it before joining the presale! It’s very easy to enter it during the checkout process and you are given plenty of time to do so. Will not be an issue worrying about losing the seats in your cart 😄😄
Hi! First off THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I appreciate this so so much!! I have a question, I want to buy two tickets, one for each date for the upcoming BTS concert. Would pay for it one at a time (one concert date at a time) and if I do, how would that work with pre sale code? Do we have to re enter our pre sale code? If so will it work? (Sorry this turned into like 4 questions lol)
Hello! 👋🏽👋🏽 Each event is paid for separately, but it’s the same code you use for each date. So just make sure you have one tab open for each date, and when each room gets through to the ticket buying page you will type it in then. Just keep the ticket limit per event in mind (2 or 4 depending on the presale you’re in). The code will work for each event individually until that event hits the ticket limit
Hello! do u know the time TM will give us to put all of our billing info in for checkout for the BTS concert? I don’t want to save my credit card details on TM so I prefer putting it in when I’m purchasing my tickets!
You can hold off entering your billing info until you get to the final checkout screen when buying your tickets. Can leave it blank until the very last second essentially 😄
I know you said in another video that you prefer using mobile devices, would you suggest using the Ticketmaster app or just an internet browser? I want to join the queue for multiple shows (multiple tabs) SO I guess I like have to use internet browser right? :/
If you’re going to try multiple shows at once, then definitely do NOT use your phone. The reason I say this is because having multiple tabs open on a mobile device can be problematic if one of them refreshed by accident or just not being able to easily manage multiple tabs on a browser (the app can not handle two tabs at once ever). If you want two show queues at once, use a computer/laptop. Much much easier to manage the queues that way, but just remember the searching will be a little bit more difficult
Hi! you mentioned that sometimes when you're one away in the waiting room, sometimes it can hang. you said to wait a few minutes before refreshing or don't refresh at all. What happens if you do refresh ? Would I possibly lose my spot? What if I'm hanging for a long time like if 5-10 minutes have passed? Should it ever take that long to move down the line?
If you’re hanging there for more than 2-3 minutes, then you should refresh once. I generally don’t like to say to refresh because Ticketmaster can be finicky so it’s best to let it keep doing its normal process. If it’s been over 5 mins at 1 in the queue, then definitely refresh though. You shouldn’t lose your spot but just to stay safe it’s best to keep refreshing to a minimum
Really appreciate your efforts! What is your opinion on creating multiple accounts with different phone numbers in order to sign up for the VF presale? Would that increase the chance of getting a code? Will Ticketmaster see same information (like the address, or the name) as bot activity..
Making multiple accounts can only work if every single account is made with separate account information AND with different devices and different networks (for the most part). The amount of effort it takes for an individual to make different accounts can be very time consuming and difficult. But if you have access to multiple accounts, it can be an effective way to increase your chances
As for actually increasing your chances, if accounts have any of the same info, then no, it won’t increase your chances and will more likely appear as bot/broker activity
Thank you so much for answering. Really looking forward to your next videos. It’s so nice to be educated on something by someone who actually knows what he talks about. Keep up the good work! As fans we are really thankful :)
Thank you for this info! I have a question, If I plan on getting tickets for two different days using the same code, would you reccommend using 2 tabs (one for each show) or can I use my phone for one day and one tab on my computer for the other?
Use the same device with two tabs (ideal if on a computer). You could try two devices one for each day as well, I think the one device and two tabs would work better though for you
@@thumbsuprun Hi! What if 2 tabs is open for diff dates then they both got in the queue? Is there a timer on the other one while Im still selecting seats for my priority date? Thanks!
Once they both get through the queue, then you need to focus on one before the other. The queues will not be completely in sync so one will get through before the other. Just focus on buying tickets on that screen first before going to the other one. Try to finalize your ticket purchase and then look at the second event afterwards
Thank you so much for all your help!! I was wondering, can you use the app to buy tickets for multiple shows with a pre sale code or will you only be able to purchase tickets for one show there?
With the app you can only buy for one show at a time unfortunately. If you want to try for two shows at the same time, you should be using a computer/laptop and then have multiple tabs going at the same time for Verified Fan presales
thumbsuprun that makes sense! I’m trying for two shows in different time zones so they go on sale at different times, will my code work for that or should I stick to a laptop? I watched your other video on which to use and I’d prefer to use my phone app if possible
In that case you should be fine to use the app, so long as the amount of time between when the tickets goes on sale is sufficient. So if it’s a 3pm est and 6pm est times for the presales, that’s more than enough to work with. If they are back to back though (3pm and 4pm) though, then I’d consider still using the app for the first show, but then also getting your computer logged in for the second show. As for the codes, the same code can be used for multiple shows, so it’ll work the same way for each of them just fine. Go ahead and type it in, and the seats will open up for you 😄🎟
I asked ticket Master if we can use the same code on multiple tabs for multiple shows and this is what they told me: "Yes, but no more than one tab per show. You may only use multiple tabs when shopping for more than one show on this tour. As a reminder: -If you�d like to shop for tickets to multiple shows, no matter the time zone, you will need to join the Waiting Room for each one. -Please only join the Waiting Room once and only use one tab per show to reduce any delays. -Once you join the Waiting Room, do not close your page. -Please use the same access code to unlock access to tickets when shopping for multiple shows." But I still don't understand. It like that are saying yes and no. Which one is it? Yes or No?? It's like they are not sure themselves.
They are saying that for each SPECIFIC event date, you should not join more than once and only use one tab for that event If you want to try to buy tickets to more than one event (ie day 1 and day 2 of a show happening in the same city), you can join each of them with one tab from the same device. Again, just make sure you only open one tab for each of those events. Hope that’s clear! 🤞🏽🎟😄
Normally I would say not to do it, but with how Ticketmaster has confirmed for this specific tour that it should be okay (it also is a requirement since it’s the same code for each event instead of custom codes for each individual one) I would feel less worried in this one situation. The main reason not to use multiple tabs normally is just due to how you can run into errors during the checkout process. If you are checking out for one event and then also join the checkout for the second event at the same time, it can result in errors there. Sometimes the queues can have issues too, it’s a very problematic experience. Basically just have to be very careful and don’t push it if you’re worried about getting an error
When the clock hits 0, you’ll be placed into the queue when that gets down to 1, it will move you into the ticket buying page and that’s where you’ll enter in your code 😄🎟
@@thumbsuprun You are the best! One more question, if I click the link from the message that I received from Ticketmaster that has my code, if my default is set to Ticketmaster it pulls in an error saying website blocked but if I make my default crome, it goes straight to the countdown. Is this normal?
Strange error. Never seen something like that before. I would just say use the site/app that actually lets you in 😅 maybe it’ll work when the waiting room opens up, so try again then. But I’d still problematic then just use chrome and go from there
The mobile browser isn’t a problem, it just doesn’t look as nice and your screen real estate is shrunk a little too if the browser extends out at all. But overall it should function the same way as the app
Thank you so much for the info! One other thing, if you don’t get into the verified presale and get the email, is there any way to tell if you’re flagged or not?
Not getting Verified doesn’t mean you’ve been flagged, especially when there are so many people signing up and only so few codes to go around. The only real way of knowing if you’ve been flagged is Over a period of time. If you find over the next 5-10 queues you attempt to join for different events that you’re always at the back, then you may want to consider just starting up a whole new account at that point. Otherwise just not getting Verified from this one time shouldn’t be an indicator of anything ☺️🎟
I wasn’t sure if there was only ground floor and first floor access for those who gain access to presale but then again each stadiums I see look different. I was referring to MetLife stadium but also I regretted dropping a good amount of money for army membership mainly because I was not sure what was going on and did not want to risk having to fight over only a few seats in general public sale date. I would have rather waited for the public if many seats were open
You likely made the right decision for opting to try and get seats through one of the Verified Fan presales, because allocation within the general sale will be extremely limited based on the verified fan allocations.
thumbsuprun yes have applied for the second day presale first. Actually realized second day is more flexible schedule to get tickets so I think I did not need the first day access oops 🙊 I guess this means I do not have access to second day anymore if get verified for first day membership one. Thank you for clearing things out ! Your videos helped a lot !
Also one last question! I heard some say that it's best/faster to click tickets/seats that are on the sidebar rather than searching on the map to pick your seats. Is that true? Does it matter? And does it matter how early you get on the ticketmaster site before the waiting room opens? If I leave the site open for hours and just wait would my chances be higher?
I prefer the sidebar because picking on the map is laggy and potentially not up to date. The sidebar isn’t perfect either but it’s more likely to check out than picking on the map 😄
Hi! first off your videos all abt buying tickets are so helpful and great so thank u. I have two question though 1) if I get a presale code, can I use the same code on different devices? 2) This isn’t for vf presale but if I’m logged in on one device with my ticketmaster acc on a computer, can I open multiple tabs on chrome and safari with ticketmaster but not being signed into my acc? And so if I get tickets while not being signed in will it effect anything with buying the tickets? Sorry if it’s complicated but I’m so nervous abt buying tix for bts next week 🤯
Glad they're helpful! 1) Yes you can, but just make sure you aren't trying to enter the same event when using the code. Example - if you use the code on your first device for a NY show, then the other device should be used for a different show. What I don't have complete knowledge of yet is what happens when you want to use two devices for the same time slot but different shows. Normally VF codes are for individual shows, but since this is the same code for all shows its just a new format. 2) Once you sign into TM on your device, any new tabs you open will be automatically logged into your account already within the same browser. You won't be able to just get additional tabs of the ticket buying page working as you'll just run into errors when trying to check out because Ticketmaster can't figure out where the correct ticket buying page pathway is anymore. It isn't worth the hassle. Now if you opened tabs to get into different events, that's a different story and you should be fine there
Yep that can work, but then there's also a risk of the accounts getting linked together in the future. It isn't a big deal really as I'm sure you're both working together to be able to buy tickets so I wouldn't see any issues :)
Hello! I just saw your video and it was a HUGE lifesaver. I still have one question though, and that is if the tickets go on sale 3pm, what time should I be on the website and trying to get in line? I’m still a bit confused on this part especially what queue means (?) I know Ticketmaster says to be on the website 10 minutes before but I’ve heard that people were waiting in the “queue” for over three hours and I don’t really understand.
People saying they wait 3 hours in line are all crazy 😂 the waiting room for tickets opens about 30 mins in advance so just go to the event you want to buy tickets for around then. You will need to log in and then join the waiting room. There will be a button to click to join in. You’ll go through a phone verification and then once you actually are in, you’ll see a countdown. When the countdown goes to 0, the presale has begun and you’ll be placed in line with a queue number. When your number hits 1, your page will change and move to the ticket buying page. Enter your presale code and start buying tickets!!!! 🤞🏽😄🤞🏽
This really help me a lot because Alabama time zone is cst and Florida is a est zone . So I had to set in alarm for 1:30 my time since it’s 2:30 there time so I won’t miss the exact time to join the “queue” . I’m new to all of this Ticketmaster stuff so thank you so much
For presale verification both membership and non membership- is the entire stadium seating chart open for a select few orrr is everyone that has been verified given opportunity for a select number of seats. Also if you wanted second floor will the option not be available if you get first access ? Thank you for the uploads !
Everyone who is verified for their specific Verified Fan presale will have access to the allocated seats that are set aside. Now the issue is that because more people will be buying tickets than are likely available, not everyone will get a chance to actually get through to buy tickets during the presales. Allocations are decided by the promoters, but for the most part there will be seats across all price points and seating location types for you to choose from when you get through the queue to finally purchase your seats. The first presale will obviously have a better allocation, second presale a lesser allocation, and then the general sale will be essentially everything else remaining
thumbsuprun Glad to hear that seats may most likely be across all price points ! Also do you enter preque line automatically if you are waiting on the site ? And I think will try to not refresh page all the way until the end
Question: Do you know why the screen goes white and says “we are unable to complete your request on this device”. I don’t have my account open in other devices. What can I do if I don’t have a desktop or a laptop 😔 I’ll be trying to buy tickets next week but I’m scared that this is going to happen again Thank you for all the videos you’ve done they are SUPER helpful, it’s my first time buying tickets from ticketmaster US 😊
I’ve seen that error before and it’s usually just a block that has been placed by Ticketmaster on your account. Were you trying to log in from that account from more than one device at the same time? Or did you have multiple tabs open? It goes away eventually but when you get it, you normally won’t be able to check out or add any tickets to your cart when it comes up for a couple of hours.
thumbsuprun Thank you for answering and No 😕 I just have my account in the app and no other devices, do you think it has something to do that I made various accounts using slightly different emails? I mean I was dumb enough to make them now I regret ever doing that 😅 does it go away or will I have to use a different device next week I’m so scared that it won’t work even for next week 😭 should I use my cousins account? So many questions I’m sorry 😕
All of the multiple accounts certainly could be a contributing factor in this case. Very likely you have an IP block at this point. Best case for you will be to use a different device (and different IP if you can) when you do eventually try to buy tickets as it’s likely those accounts you created will no longer be very useful to you until the block is cleared
hello!!! I was wondering if it’s allowed to use the same PayPal/debit card for multiple accounts since me and my friends are putting all our money into one but are using our own Ticketmaster accounts, would that be fine or will it cause any trouble ? Thank you for these great videos btw 💗!!!!
It’s only a problem if you’re all buying tickets to the same event. If the same billing info is used more then once and you go over the ticket limit, your order(s) are subject to cancellation. If you buy to different events, then you’ll be fine
thumbsuprun ohh I see!!! will it be fine if we queue up at the same time for one event but only use one account to buy the tickets for whoever gets it first ? that was ideally the plan ;-;
Once you have the code and are verified can you have for them same account simultaneously in four different waiting rooms ? For example one tab for levi day 1 one for levi day 2 one for dallas day 1 dallas day 2 Also for one venue. Can you buy for both days at one venue and then checkout?
The same account can be in multiple waiting rooms at the same time according to Ticketmaster for the BTS Verified Fan presale. So yes, you could have 1 tab open for each show date as you described. Just make sure you don’t open a tab twice for the same exact show date. In terms of the one venue but two days, each event date will be its own separate transaction, so you need to check out for each event individually even if two dates are at the same location
@@thumbsuprun Hey! thanks for all the great info! just to clarify: for the presale code when you say "you could have 1 tab open for each show date" do you mean i can use/log into the same account from 2 different devices entirely or literally just tabs on the same web browser? if not two devices, can it be different windows side by side so you can see what's happening in both? and this is ok to do simultaneously?? And in any of those cases, will they have a problem if im using the same credit card for both checkouts at the same time or am i ok because its one card being used for two different dates? (sorry this turned out long... 😬)
I mean it in the sense of two literal tabs from the same browser/device. If you want them side by side, just pull the tab apart and then split screen to have them beside each other. No problem using the same credit card, but I would recommend trying to cart tickets on both and then only continuing in one checkout process before completing the second one (if you have the time). You have the potential for your checkout process to get a little wonky if you fill them both out too fast, so just use the allotted time and do it right. If one queue goes faster than the other though, then just try to finish that checkout before the next queue is ready for you to buy tickets! 🎟🎟😄🙌🏽
Sorry if someone already asked this, but can we buy tickets from different sections in the same purchase? As in, if my friend prefers the 3rd level and i wanted 1st level would that be possible to select? Thank you for the videos!
Hi, thank you so much for making this video. I have a question regarding making different accounts for the presale. If I make 3 accounts using different phone numbers but the same name & zip code (they did not ask for my address) does that mean my account(s) can be flagged? Also if I made all the accounts while using my home wifi will it flag my account (lose the chance of getting code)? I have not put any card info in any of the accounts btw. I'm doing this just to use one code, not multi. thank you again :)
If they have the same name and zip code or other similar information, Ticketmaster should be able to link all the accounts together and consider it as one instead of 3 (especially if they were all made on the same network). You’re better off having friends make an account and apply for the VF presale themselves instead of you making extra accounts. From your perspective, just stick to one account since it won’t help you at all in the end is my thought process. Hope that helps!
Your account will likely be flagged by noticing the three accounts that all signed up, and then treating them as if they were just one account. I don’t think you’ll have an issue other than you should only expect to get at most one code instead of potentially one for each account (ie the extra accounts will not help your odds essentially)
They will be able to determine they all came from the same IP address even if the info on the accounts all shows up as different. Most likely Ticketmaster will simply lump all of these together and consider it as one linked account. So I would not be expecting you to get any more than 1 code between the bunch of them you made. No real way to fix it at this point, maybe have some other friends also apply from their own locations and hopefully within the group of you and your friends, some will get verified and it’ll work out better that way 🤞🏽🤞🏽🎟
hey I just wanna say thank you so much for your videos, I got vip soundcheck tickets! as thankful as I am, they are relatively far still so I was wondering if you know if soundcheck tickets can be upgraded? I have 2 sc tickets that I bought during the fanclub presale but would like closer ones.
Woo exciting!! So tickets themselves unfortunately cannot be upgraded (for the most part) when you purchase them through Ticketmaster. The tickets you bought are generally the tickets you get. If you’d like to upgrade, your first option will be to see if there are available tickets from the box office (ie on Ticketmaster) that are NOT resale tickets (red dots on the map). Should be blue dots. If there are, you can try to call Ticketmaster and see if they will allow you to upgrade your seats assuming they are the same price point. They may or may not be able to so as each venue/event/tour is different. If they cannot do it, then your only option would be to sell your tickets and use those funds to buy new ones. Though with that it’s not guaranteed you can even sell them as they are will-call tickets so there’s a lot more loopholes you jump through. Long story long, I don’t foresee you being able to upgrade unless available tickets show up on Ticketmaster and you call and try to request them to move you to the new seats. No guarantee they’ll even allow it though 😔Sorry that wasn’t more helpful!
I mean...there’s a chance but I think it’ll be unlikely since the VIP seats were all very sought after. If you do see any I would try to contact Ticketmaster immediately to see if they can do it, but I wouldn’t get your hopes up too high =[
Hi! I was also wondering if you think what browser you use on your laptop makes a difference? (I.e. is chrome better than firefox or internet explorer?)
I prefer chrome, just avoid internet explorer. Some of the older versions are now out of date and can’t support the updated Ticketmaster website. Stick to chrome or Firefox if you can. Microsoft Edge isn’t terrible either
quick question, im 4 hours away from trying to buy my presale tickets, do you choose which seats you want exactly or just the general area? I want bleachers for me and my mom. im probably overthinking all of this but I want to be super safe as we don't know how quickly they will sell out. your videos are very helpful, they are making me feel a little bit more confident about this presale uwu
Depends on your seating preference and the device you’re using. From your phone you have access to both map and list view. Map view is the same on phone and computer, and you basically select the section you want and it’ll bring you to the individual seat selection map and you can pick what you want. If you’re in list view, you will want to be more careful unless the entire section is the same type of seating. The list will suggest options for you instead of letting you zoom in to the exact seats on the map. You can test it out right now with some other random events on Ticketmaster using the app to see what I mean. Just remember that the computer does not offer a list view but rather just a sidebar with suggested options and the map view to pick specific seats
you’ve probably answered this but i just need clarification, once i’m ready to check out on the app, do i have to put my card info in again or will automatically be there since i added my card to the ticketmaster website? also if i don’t get a presale code later today, will i still have a good chance of getting tickets on friday which is the general public ticket sale day? i really don’t want to have to get resales tickets bc they are super overpriced unfortunately
If your billing info is in your account already then you will only need to put in the security code of your credit card (the 3 or 4 digit number) to complete your purchase. If you don’t get a presale code, then unfortunately the general sale will be tough to get tickets through. Like very tough 😔 not impossible though! 🤞🏽🤞🏽🎟
You should really change the answer about refreshing...the waiting room opened exactly 1 hour before sales. My eyes never left the screen. Nothing changed on the screen when it opened. Because of your advice I didn’t refresh. I saw on twitter that others were already in the waiting room. I decided to refresh and the waiting room had been open for 13 minutes. I would have been towards the front of the line had I refreshed...but because you said not to refresh, I was number 4,364. 😡🤬
I’m very sorry to hear that 😫 it may have been some miscommunication on my part, but essentially you need to get into the waiting room about 30 mins before the event. If you look at some of the comments on here I had mentioned to people that if you don’t get a prompt to join it that you should then refresh only once by 15 mins before the event. I hope you were still able to get the tickets you wanted 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🎟!!
Hello hello! They cannot. Once a ticket is in your cart (and you are in the checkout process), the tickets will remain with you until you either complete the ticket purchase or you abandon the tickets and the timer runs out. Now that doesn’t mean if on the map you see a blue dot that when you try to add them to your cart that they are going to be yours no matter what. The map isn’t 100% up to date all the time so seats may not actually be available even if you see them. Just keep that in mind!
I GOT VERIFIED FOR BTS!!!! Holy smokes!!!! Another ?, if you don’t mind. I got a text with a link and a code and I dumbly tried to join today’s queue and says I’m not linked to this verified sale. Did I ruin my chances for tomorrow? HELP!!!!
Hahaha it’s okay!! The way the queue works for Verified Fan presales is that you can only log in for the presale you’re signed up for. So no matter what you do it would give you a rejection tonight. Tomorrow has no bearing on you attempting to get in today. You will have a shot tomorrow like everyone else, your chances are not ruined, you’ll be fine!!
thumbsuprun okay! Phew! Thought I messed it up! Another question I was going to ask is do you prefer using a laptop with WiFi or a cell phone using WiFi? I’m still undecided. How will I know if a ticket is vip as well? Sorry. Super nervous and excited
@thumbsuprun I got Verified for the General Presale as well, and I did the same thing as her, but I didn’t put my code in. If I refresh the page, would it mess anything up for me ??!
I’m trying to buy tickets with my own account as well as my friend’s account since she’ll be at work during the sale. Is it ok to have both accounts open in two separate tabs? Both accounts are linked to different two different emails and phone #s. Thanks so much for all the info!
You should use two different devices if you’re using two accounts. You may run into issues with one device. If you only have access to one device though, then I would recommend using an incognito browser for one account, and then a regular browser for the other. Don’t open them up as two tabs with the same browser
Many prime seats are allocated and sold during the various presales, but there is generally some seats held back for the general sale as well. It may be a limited selection but they will be made available throughout each type of presale and general sale.
Also one last last question (sorry!! can you tell I'm stressed lol), is it true that ticketmaster periodically release seats? Because you said not to refresh but I heard that sometimes once you are in the ticket sale when you refresh other tickets that weren't shown appear...
There is truth on seats being periodically released, but this doesn’t really apply for presales. It’s more on the general sale date and later on. Ticketmaster can hold back certain seats and start dropping them to the public at various points, but normally they only appear a few weeks before the event to a couple of days before. Though don’t go into it expecting to find seats released later as they will be dynamically priced as well
But again, refreshing will not make these ‘appear’. It’s just a matter of if they are released or not. Try and work with the availability you see when you get in the ticket buying page
I’ve recently seen or read somewhere that during a presale there is no queue, you get sent straight to selecting seats. This does not seem accurate to me. Is this true?
It can be true but only on rare occasions. However, with Verified Fan presales, you will always go through a queue. Now the only other reason I can see someone not having to go and wait in the queue was if you happened to be placed at the VERY front of the queue and then it just loaded the ticket buying page. Otherwise though, you should expect one 🎟
thumbsuprun Thank you so much for making these videos. For a newbie ticket buyer like me they are very helpful. Your videos are very informative, easy to understand and a pleasure to watch. I feel much better prepared after watching your videos. You rock!
thumbsuprun I did it! Within 6 minutes I had bts tickets in the section I wanted! I am so glad I came across your videos. Thank you!!! Sec 130 11th row.
Regarding this upcoming BTS presale, can I use my laptop for one date and my phone's app for a different date (they are being sold at the same time) Or would I have to use one device and open up a different tab? If feel like it's easier for me to navigate one device using per hand rather than one mouse for both dates lol but I am not sure if that's allowed but wouldn't see how that's any different from using my code for 2 diff tabs. Thanks for your help!
From everything a Ticketmaster has put out, it would be better to use one device and just have two tabs going. You can split up your screen so that each queue takes up half the screen. Or if you have dual monitors you can have one screen for each of them. That would be the easiest way to do it I think. At this point using two devices for this presale may not work as well as having one device and two tabs. Hope that helps!
@@thumbsuprun wow thank you for replying so fast! such a big help and I'm sure all of us here feel so much more relieved because of you! Most detailed ticketmaster videos 🙇♀️
I honestly have no clue if that’s true or not 😅 just use what you think is fastest and run with it! As long as you feel comfortable with whatever you use then that is the best choice! 🎟😎
You should still be fine, just don’t go into it expecting both to get verified but rather only one of them if any. It’s more a risk when it’s several accounts all being signed up in quick succession from the same network/device where you should start to get concerned. Everything in moderation should be no problem 😄 good luck! 🤞🏽🎟
Hi! Do we need anything else other than our access code when the presale begins? Basically can it ask us to re-verify our account and send us a code by sms and ask us to enter that in? I signed into presale with my mother's phone number and she's not in the country right now so I don't really have access to her phone for the presale
They will most likely ask to confirm your account with an sms verification when you first log in to the Verified Fan presale. If you won’t have access to her phone, then you can attempt to use your own phone number but then I would just say don’t be trying to log into your account for the presale as well then. If there’s duplicate info going into these waiting rooms, you run the risk of errors and not being able to check out
If i receive a presale code and use multiple accounts to try to buy tickets, let’s say my mom and dads separate accounts, will i be able to use the same code
Depending on the type of presale code. If it’s a generic code, then yes you’ll be able to do so. If it’s a unique code, you’ll run into issues when trying to check out
Question what if you put the wrong information for the order number confirmation for the membership. I put my fan number instead of the confirmation. Am I able to change this after the deadline? I tried but I'm not sure how or where.... please help
I don’t believe you’re able to change any Verified Fan submission details once the process closes. Unfortunately you’re going to be stuck with what you’ve entered...hopefully it still works out 🤞🏽
HELP!!!! I’ve read about barricade tickets for BTS. I thought that A-J (whatever) are seated but people are talking about getting sound check and barricade! What does that mean? And is that where I would have to camp out in order to get a spot? What would be the point of purchasing a VIP ticket for 500 plus to not have a reserved seat? Someone help me solve this before verified sale! Thank you
Any Army fans out there that can answer this question? I don’t have the specifics on how barricade seating works for these events so could use your help. Please and thank you!
Yep, you won’t enter it until you actually complete your time in the queue. When it moves you to the the ticket buying page, it’ll prompt you to enter the code then
I saw your last video about being more likely to be verified if you live in that area but what if I’m from Chicago but go to college in another city that is still in Illinois so I got to have my ticket mailed to my dorm, will that affect my chances of getting verified?
That shouldn’t be an issue because you’re still located in that same region. However, I believe tickets for this tour are all mobile tickets so nothing to worry about in terms of tickets getting mailed. They may sell commemorative tickets at the checkout but you’ll be able to access the event with just your phone. You’re gonna be golden!
Do u think that if i have 2 different WiFis in my house, i could use one laptop to buy presale tickets on each WiFi at the same time? they would each be completely separate registered TM accounts. Also, during the general ticket sale, could i use my phone's LTE instead of WiFi?
Contact Ticketmaster via Twitter @TMFanSupport and hope they respond quickly. Check your email though - sometimes (but not always) they email the code as well. See if there is a contact from the email as well for quicker support
@@thumbsuprun thank you so much for replying. I got a response via email and when I tweeted them. I was so heart broken until they sent me my access code again! It’s for the Adele concert! I can’t wait! Thank you so much. And good luck with your channel!!!
Hi! I have a question about the payment information, apparently Ticketmaster says that the app only lets you pay with credit card while the website lets you pay with either credit/debit/or other options for payment. Would I be able to use my debit card for the app at all? (it does have a major card company logo on it, but I just want to make sure that i will be able to use it for my purchase) I prefer using the app for a speedier check out ;7;
Hmm someone is telling you some misleading information. I just jumped onto the app and went through the checkout process, you can enter your debit card, credit card, or even use PayPal/Apple Pay if you wanted. Should be able to use your debit card assuming it is tied to a major credit card company no problem. If you prefer the app, you’re golden 😊🎟🤞🏽
Ticketmaster is supposed to send the code & “special link” the day before, right? & when do they ask for your phone number/send you a temporary code to verify? Is that before or after you join the pre-queue?
Correct, they’ll send out email confirmations in the evening with the codes and important details on how to access the presale itself. The phone number verification step occurs when you log in immediately before joining the waiting room. Once you’re in the waiting room, you no longer will need to verify again 😄🎟
thumbsuprun what if you’re already logged into the app? Will the phone number pop-up just appear as soon as we click on the event? Also, thank you so much for not only making these videos, but answering all of our questions !! I really appreciate it
Even if you’re already logged in through the app, you’ll still need to go through the phone verification step. Now, if for whatever reason it doesn’t come up but you still end up in the waiting room, then you don’t need to worry about it. So long as you can enter the waiting room then you’re golden 😄🎟 Always happy to answer questions ☺️
If you open up the link on your phone, it should give you a pop up to say ‘open Ticketmaster app?’ And just hit yes to that. Or your phone at the top of the web browser that opens should have an open Ticketmaster app button too
If I already registered in the presale of the membership or in the general presale and I want to re-check if the information is correct, would it affect me and reduce the chances of obtaining a code?
You can review your email confirmation to see some basic info, but if you want to re-check everything, there isn’t really a proper way of doing so. If you go through and re-submit your entire application for the Verified Fan presale, you’ll know exactly what you submitted at that point and it won’t have an effect on reducing your chances since it’s just going to take your most recent submission into account. I just make the warning for people who are applying many times in a short period of time where you could potentially run into a problem/risk of getting verified
hey! I was wondering because of ticketmaster's new rule about only having one device on your wifi connection, could I put my phone on cellular data and my laptop on reg. wifi that way I could have two devices? thanks!
Technically yes, BUT, if you are using the same account to log in for the same event waiting room, the second device will not allow you to join it. You could only join a different event (ie day 1 show in Chicago on first device, day 2 show in Chicago on second device). Make sense?
Yes there will be! Though they will be potentially much more limited since it’s all the remaining tickets. Many presales take up the majority of seats so don’t expect too much availability tomorrow
So I got accepted for the verified fan presale today in Chicago but I’m now planning to go to the Metlife one instead. Is the code I received acceptable for all the concert dates or am I stuck with the one I registered for?
It varies by event, artist, and venue. There should be a significant allotment to each presale, but these numbers are not publicly available unfortunately. If I had to estimate, it would be at least half the venue if not more. But again, just an estimate 😅🤷🏽♂️🎟🎟
I have an ARMY preverified code. I have the Ticketmaster App. Am I better using the app on wifi or 4g and chrome to sigin. Or am I better using my ticketmaster acct on the home computer desktop. The mobile phone app is on through our home wifi router. My concern is keeping my android S9 Note, screen active without refreshing and knocking me out of queue. Does just touching the screen refresh it. It seems there is a 10minute max setting. How to keep screen active without refreshing?
First decide which device you think is best for you. I prefer the app but there’s no wrong answer. To prevent your screen from turning off, either change the phone setting so it doesn’t do that or just touch the screen every few minutes to keep it active. Technically if your screen shuts off for a few moments you’ll still be fine, but any longer and you may run the risk of it losing connection. If you have a max of 10 mins, then just touch the screen every couple of mins and you’ll be okay There
Thank thumbsuprun, I'll keep my phone in hand and just touch the screen every few minutes. Gone are the old days when we stood in line with our tents and chairs in the 70s outside Carsons for Ticketmaster to see Pink Floyd at Soldier field. Nervous old Aunt trying to get tickets to take niece. Can't believe there is only a 10 minute setting on the S9 note to keep active. Enjoyed all your videos and thanks again for the quick response. I think I'll go with the app on the phone via wifi.
Got them day 2 BTS Chicago. Not bad for an old 70s gal and pink floyd fan oldie. Went through just fine 1 hr on desktop. Nerve recking! App and mobile kept throwing me out. Seats just where we want. First selection taken when clicked so didn't hesitate on second choice. Thanks again. You have helped a lot with yourvideo
Sometimes Ticketmaster will randomly kick us out and give us the queue ID of the queue we were in, where would we put in that queue ID to get back where we were? Can we at all?
Once you leave the queue, you cannot get back into the same waiting room unfortunately, even if you have the queue ID. It’s a very broken system in that sense so hopefully your tab does not shut down on you/kick you out or else you will not be able to get back and complete a ticket purchase. Technology can fail us a lot of the time...😩 good luck!! 🤞🏽🎟
Would you advise people that got their link for the pre-sale to access the link via the text message or could they copy and paste the link into a browser? Or do we even have to use the link? Would it be fine if we just entered the site manually and enter the access code?
Oops only seeing this one now. Turns out it was fine to just open the ticket buying pages normally, code wasn’t a requirement 😄 hope you got your presale tickets!
Hi! Would you happen to know if ticketmaster only releases seats in certain sections for each presale? (ex. only section c3 is open for verified fan presale) Thank you so so much!!
Hello! 👋🏽👋🏽 Ticketmaster and the promoter are the ones who decide how to split up the venue and determine seat allocations for each presale. This information is not publicly available so I couldn’t tell you if a specific section would be made available during each presale. With that being said, they will generally release tickets in all of the various price points for each presale, so it is likely you will see seats in that section be available. Depending on when you get through the queue though, seats may be sold by that point as well so just keep that in mind too
In regards to the second q you answered about two presales: does that also apply to when there is an Amex Verified registration and a General Verified registration? I was afraid to register for both on my same account for fear of being denied bc of it
So when there are two verified fan presales, you can actually sign up for both with no issues. It’s no different than when they offer a Fan Club and General VF signup. Should not create any problems to try for both since they are independent draws
At 230pm the waiting room will open. So find the event you want to purchase tickets for on ticketmaster and click on it, there should be a button that appears to join the queue, and then wait for it to process all the way until you get to the ticket buying page. Then enter your code when it prompts you! 😄🎟
Hello when I get the presale code, can I use it to buy any ticket to any show of the map of the soul tour. For example if I put my preferred date as Saturday for metlife, can I shop for sunday for metlife first????
Can I register for both BTS Global Fan presale and Ticketmaster verified fan presale? If I don't get an access code for the Global Fan presale, maybe I can get lucky and get a code for the February 6th presale.
You sure can! Ticketmaster clearly states that you can go ahead and apply for both since you might not get Verified for one or the other. Good luck!! 😄🎟🤞🏽
hi ! i have a question about the link that’s sent in the text message containing your presale code. does it matter to use this link specifically? because i’m not sure how i’d open the link up on my computer if im trying to buy tickets on that device. could i just open the event’s ticket sales page and join the pre-queue as usual, or is the link essential?
Technically you should always use the link. HOWEVER, if you open up Ticketmaster on whatever device you want to use and you go to the event page, you can try to join the queue from there directly. If it lets you in, then you’re golden and no need for the direct link. If there are any issues joining the queue though, then you will want to click the link and get directed that way.
I just got BTS ticket form presale and I wanted to thank you so much for your videos. They’ve helped me to get the seat I wanted, etc.
Thanks so much for everything
You’re very very very welcome!! Enjoy the show 😄🎟
Honestly thank you for making these vids! Especially educating us ARMYS for the BTS concert hunger games coming up 😭😭
May the odds be ever in your favour!! 😄🤞🏽🎟
I have never used flexpay before so I am only speculating, but I would imagine that they would be since your payments would extend past the event date in some cases. Again, I haven’t used the service before so I can’t comment with any certainty.
Anyone on here used it before and have some insight?
i’m literally binge watching your videos because presale starts in 5 hours. you’re literally a life saver 💓💓thank you
Learn all you can and ask questions!
Ditto lol
UPDATE!! I got my ticket from the membership presale and all thanks to you and your videos!!! Thank you for everything I’m so happy!!!!
YASSSS super exciting!!! Glad to hear it ☺️🎟
I'm leaving this here even though I binge watched all of your verified fan videos in preparation for getting Harry Styles tickets yesterday. I followed all of your advice. I didn't do any of the things my instincts told me to do: register multiple times, open multiple tabs, use my phone & laptop at the same time with same account, & refreshing. The not refreshing was hardest. I got in line at 2000+ and it took everything in me not to refresh many, many times. Ugh. Final result was it took around 30 minutes for me to get in to buy & thanks to you, I made a list of desired seats because most were gone by the time I got in. I used the list, not the map, & managed to get 2 tickets to see Harry Styles in NY! Success!! I just wanted to say thanks because I know I would have done it all wrong & not gotten any had I not known what NOT to do. I also passed along the info to my friend because she wanted to try for LA. She also managed to get decent tickets! Now we're going twice! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥳
Love to hear it!!! So glad you were able to lock in seats for TWO shows! Hope you have a great time! 🎉🔥🎫
THANK YOU!! I was so confused about when to refresh :( You're video was super helpful
Hope it gets you some tickets!🤞🏽🎟
I do have a pretty fast internet speed however, since only one device is allowed, which would you recommend- desktop, ipad, or a laptop? Thank you.
I’d go iPad I think. I much prefer using the Ticketmaster app as the map is a lot easier to navigate. You can select sections you like and then have a list of options available. Much easier than selecting individual seats!
I just want to say thank you for making these videos. They really helped me get tickets after stressing out about it, and also helped to ease my nerves. I was prepared and good to go cuz of you, so thanks man
You’re extremely welcome! Glad you found them useful ☺️ send anyone needing help my way! Enjoy the concert 😄🎟
I knew I’d find ARMY here lol 💜💜💜
Y’all took over!
I also was able to obtain the seats for BTS I could only dream about before. Thank you so much for all your information, it really was so so helpful for this process (since I haven't bought tickets to a concert in like 20 years). I had no idea what to do and was super intimidated until I saw your video. so seriously...thank you SO much!
I’m always happy to hear when someone is able to successfully buy the tickets they were going for 😄🎟 and thank you very much for the kind words. Anytime you know of someone who needs help with tickets, feel free to send them my way 🙌🏽 enjoy the concert!
Thank you from ARMY!
Thank you so much for this!!! It's helped me so much, as I've been doing a lot of research on TM and everybody pretty much keeps repeating themselves. But you've made a lot of really great points! I'm just wondering, do you know how to buy soundcheck packages??? There are two of them for the BTS concert, however I'm not sure if they're altogether with a ticket or separate. If you can't answer, that's alright! I appreciate you making this video 😊
I’m not the best person to answer this one, but from what I’ve seen and read it looks like those would fall under the VIP tickets that will come available during the presales. VIP tickets generally include a ticket to the show as well as the experience (ie soundcheck). Would still be best to confirm this with someone else though to be on the safe side ☺️🎟
Hey I love your videos! The last time I bought tickets I was completely blindsided by the bots and scalpers.I am hoping that your videos will get me more prepared for the Lady Gaga concert this time around. I’m not sure if this question was asked, or answered yet. What is the earliest that the queue opens up for fans to wait? Thank you!
Hope you get the best seats ever! It usually opens about 15 minutes before they go on sale
I have a question just to be sure, so if the BTS event have multiple shows and the presale goes on the same day for all the shows can I still use the verified fan presale code to buy tickets for multiple shows on the same time?? If yes then how?? Thank you for all the help you're amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You can buy tickets for multiple shows for BTS with the same code, yes. BUT. I don’t know if you’re able to join multiple waiting rooms for the same hour for different events or not as this is a new process for the Verified Fan process. If you normally open a second tab during a Verified Fan presale, it would give you an error and tell you to return to your original device to complete your purchase. With the way they have worded it, it makes it look like you could join a waiting room for different events at the same time but I don’t want to recommend it since it could potentially be a problem for you. Evaluate your risk level and react accordingly 😊
@@thumbsuprun ok thank you so much 🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️
@@aidom4203 TicketMaster has announced that you can open different dates on different tabs at the same time
@@alizehfatima2185 oh really? Thank you 😭💞💞
For using the phone, do suggest using the Ticketmaster app or just the internet i.e Safari?
Can I book you for buying me tickets? 😂
😂😂 I think you’re behind like 50 other people who’ve asked me already looool. But honestly I have the worst luck with VF presales aha. You got the skills now, you can do it! 😎🤞🏽🎟
Brill video! What time do you recommend singing in if the presale opens at 9am?
Thank you kindly! Usually no more than 15 minutes before is necessary, most waiting rooms don’t open any earlier than 30 minutes before
thumbsuprun apparently here in the uk we don’t have waiting rooms :0
First of all, thank you so much for taking the time to answer all of these questions!!! This may have been answered, but my head is a total jumble of information right now. I am hoping to get my daughter tickets for BTS in Atlanta. We both have Ticketmaster accounts and we both registered for the presale. IF by some miracle we both get codes, can I sign in to each of our accounts on the same computer, but using different browsers or will this kick me out? I also have my cell, but I don't get a great signal in the office, so I'm worried that will be problem. Any idea on how long the queue might last? Do I need to plan on possibly staying late at work that day?
You should be using separate devices for each account, as you can run into errors using the same device with two accounts. The account that’s yours should be used on your faster connection device, and then could use your daughters account on your phone. It may or may not work depending on signal, but still should focus on your main account.
The queue will likely take 30 mins to 1+ hour depending on your placement, but should there be any issues from Ticketmaster’s end, you could see that time take even longer. Give yourself at least an hour of time, hopefully it takes less but I think it’s fair to expect that kind of wait time.
Good luck! 🤞🏽😄🎟
Thank you so much for the informative video! If I just want the best available seats without the hassle of clicking on the map, how would we go about that in Ticketmaster? Whenever I go to look at tickets, there isn’t an option and it looks like I have to click around the map. Thanks again for all your help
If you want the best seats available (excluding VIP/Soundcheck), you can potentially sort by ‘best seats’ in the filters tab. It’s not perfect but it helps. Also, if you want VIP/Soundcheck type seating options, just make sure you select those options in the ticket filters so it will display them for you
SO!! Thank you for everything!!! Just a super quick question to clarify it. So once we’re waiting we should NOT refresh like at all right?? Once we’re on the countdown what will happen?
Correct, don’t refresh.
When the waiting room countdown hits 0, the page will do some processing and will move over to the actual queue where you’ll be placed in line. Wait for that number to hit 1 (next in line) and the page will then automatically move you into the ticket buying page for you to enter your code
hi!! thank u for making ur vids about all this Ticketmaster stuff, it’s very helpful and informative. i just had a quick question regarding vip/sound check tickets and will call tickets, if i were to purchase a will call ticket with my mom’s credit card would her name be on the ticket or would the Ticketmaster account name be on it?
Just want to make it easier for everyone to buy tickets!
It would be tied to the account holder, not the credit card purchaser. So if the account is in your name but using her credit card, then it will be able to be picked up by you at the event, not whoever’s name is on the credit card. With that being said, would be good to bring the card with you just in case they need to verify it when you pick up the tickets, but it’s normally not necessary
thumbsuprun alright thank u!!😊😊
I’ve asked so many questions, sorry! If I planned on going to a Sunday bts concert. How do I know which day I am buying for?
When you get to Ticketmaster, just make sure you search for BTS and then select the event you want to purchase tickets for. At that point you’ll go through the waiting room process for that specific event. It’ll also display the event info for you so you know what you’re actually waiting for haha. Should be very easy to identify the right event so you get into the correct waiting room ☺️
thumbsuprun 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hello! Thank you for your videos!!! It has helped a lot!
I have a couple questions about the BTS concert pre sale.
Do u have to use the special link TM gives u on ur mobile device to purchase the tickets? Or can u log in to a laptop or desktop?
If u can only use ur mobile device, how can u open multiple tabs on ur phone to buy tickets for other dates? Would TM give u problems? They said u can have multiple tabs open for different dates.
Thank u!!!
You should be able to go directly to the event you want to buy for without the code, but if it doesn’t seem to let you join the queue then go back and use the link they sent.
If you use a mobile device, it will not be possible to have multiple tabs going at the same time without risking one of your screens having issues potentially. Use a desktop/laptop instead for multiple tabs on the same device
Hey I got a small maybe a stupid question, but lets say I bought one ticket. However, i can't attend to the concert do to circumstances in life. I want some tips on how it work with ticketmaster. If you understand this question. By the way thank you for the tips it help me get the ticket but you know things happen. Now I can't go. I want to know how resaling it back works ECT... I do really want to go to the concert but I can't go now. I don't want it to go to waste
Well if you wait until tomorrow, I have a video going up explaining how to sell your tickets back through Ticketmaster.
Essentially, you just need to list the ticket for sale, you set the price, and then wait for someone to buy it. Once it sells you get paid. Simple as that!
First off, thank you for this. BTS ticket sales are always so stressful. If I have two separate accounts with different emails and phone numbers but the same card will I get kicked out? If everything but the card is different will it not let me buy the ticket?
It won’t kick you out, but if you’re lucky enough to get codes on both accounts, you may run into an error when trying to check out if you bought tickets for the same event with both accounts. Ticketmaster will be able to match up the same credit card info and potentially cancel the second order, or it just won’t let it process at all. But you will be able to buy tickets with at least one code 😄
thumbsuprun what if the card has a different name that’s not on the Ticketmaster account ??
That’s fine, as long as you have permission. But it won’t block you from purchasing tickets. Just make sure that card isn’t being used to buy more tickets than the ticket limit allows
thumbsuprun what if the accounts have the same first name but different phone numbers and different card can you just change the first name ??
I LOVE YOU! lol thank you so much! this video helped me clarify all of my doubts and now I am ready to win tomorrow!!! thank you sir!
Win win win win win win!
Thank you so much for the help and info!!! I was wondering if Ticketmaster is good about sending codes out the night before presales like they said they would? And what's the latest you can receive a code?
They are good for sending out confirmation emails regarding if you’ve been Verified or not the night before. As for codes, they keep changing up the process. Sometimes it’s in the email itself, other times they will text it to you a few hours before. But as long as you get the Verified email, you will know the next steps and shall be ready to buy the next day!
@@thumbsuprun ok, thank you so much!!
Does it matter if I get on the site and wait a couple hours early? Could it up my chances and getting in sooner or hinder them? Is it better to just click the link right when the waiting you is about to open?
Also thank you so much for being awesome helping us out!!
Getting there early will have no bearing on your placement at all. So long as you are there before the waiting room timer hits 0, you will have the same chances as someone who shows up 4 hours early.
thumbsuprun Okay, awesome! Thank you!!
Hello! Thank you so much for making these videos. I am preparing for the verfied fan registration in Ticketmaster SG. I have 3 accounts with different email and numbers. one is named after me and the other 2 are from my parents (numbers are theirs as well). Will I be having issues?
Also getting ready for BTS tickets for my daughter.
How long is then verified fan code good for?
. Are we able to to sign in, sign out and come back in a couple of hrs or next day, if we don’t see the section or row that we really really want.
I’ve heard that they release different sections etc and time goes on.
When trying to get a fair price is it better to bye general admission or this official platinum, which I’ve never before. What’s the difference?
Thanks so much. Great info!
Because of the quick turnaround on each presale, they will generally be active for coming back until 10 pm of that same day or until all tickets are sold out from the presale allocation, whatever happens first. I would not suggest to try later in the afternoon as tickets may all be sold out by that point for the presale you’re trying to purchase for
Thank you so much for this helpful video! I have a question.. do you have to put in your credit card information before going in presale? If you don’t put it will you loose the tickets?
You do not need to enter it before joining the presale! It’s very easy to enter it during the checkout process and you are given plenty of time to do so. Will not be an issue worrying about losing the seats in your cart 😄😄
thumbsuprun Thank you so much! This video was super helpful for today’s presale. You got a new subscriber 👍🏼
Always happy to welcome a new member to the team!
Hi! First off THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I appreciate this so so much!! I have a question, I want to buy two tickets, one for each date for the upcoming BTS concert. Would pay for it one at a time (one concert date at a time) and if I do, how would that work with pre sale code? Do we have to re enter our pre sale code? If so will it work? (Sorry this turned into like 4 questions lol)
Hello! 👋🏽👋🏽
Each event is paid for separately, but it’s the same code you use for each date. So just make sure you have one tab open for each date, and when each room gets through to the ticket buying page you will type it in then. Just keep the ticket limit per event in mind (2 or 4 depending on the presale you’re in). The code will work for each event individually until that event hits the ticket limit
@@thumbsuprun Thank you so much!!
Hello! do u know the time TM will give us to put all of our billing info in for checkout for the BTS concert? I don’t want to save my credit card details on TM so I prefer putting it in when I’m purchasing my tickets!
You can hold off entering your billing info until you get to the final checkout screen when buying your tickets. Can leave it blank until the very last second essentially 😄
I know you said in another video that you prefer using mobile devices, would you suggest using the Ticketmaster app or just an internet browser? I want to join the queue for multiple shows (multiple tabs) SO I guess I like have to use internet browser right? :/
If you’re going to try multiple shows at once, then definitely do NOT use your phone. The reason I say this is because having multiple tabs open on a mobile device can be problematic if one of them refreshed by accident or just not being able to easily manage multiple tabs on a browser (the app can not handle two tabs at once ever). If you want two show queues at once, use a computer/laptop. Much much easier to manage the queues that way, but just remember the searching will be a little bit more difficult
Hi! you mentioned that sometimes when you're one away in the waiting room, sometimes it can hang. you said to wait a few minutes before refreshing or don't refresh at all. What happens if you do refresh ? Would I possibly lose my spot? What if I'm hanging for a long time like if 5-10 minutes have passed? Should it ever take that long to move down the line?
If you’re hanging there for more than 2-3 minutes, then you should refresh once. I generally don’t like to say to refresh because Ticketmaster can be finicky so it’s best to let it keep doing its normal process. If it’s been over 5 mins at 1 in the queue, then definitely refresh though. You shouldn’t lose your spot but just to stay safe it’s best to keep refreshing to a minimum
IM DYING EVERYONE HERE IS A ARMY LOOOL I PURPLE YALLLLL
Really appreciate your efforts! What is your opinion on creating multiple accounts with different phone numbers in order to sign up for the VF presale? Would that increase the chance of getting a code? Will Ticketmaster see same information (like the address, or the name) as bot activity..
Making multiple accounts can only work if every single account is made with separate account information AND with different devices and different networks (for the most part). The amount of effort it takes for an individual to make different accounts can be very time consuming and difficult. But if you have access to multiple accounts, it can be an effective way to increase your chances
As for actually increasing your chances, if accounts have any of the same info, then no, it won’t increase your chances and will more likely appear as bot/broker activity
Thank you so much for answering. Really looking forward to your next videos. It’s so nice to be educated on something by someone who actually knows what he talks about. Keep up the good work! As fans we are really thankful :)
Thank you for this info! I have a question, If I plan on getting tickets for two different days using the same code, would you reccommend using 2 tabs (one for each show) or can I use my phone for one day and one tab on my computer for the other?
Use the same device with two tabs (ideal if on a computer). You could try two devices one for each day as well, I think the one device and two tabs would work better though for you
Thank you so much !!
@@thumbsuprun Hi! What if 2 tabs is open for diff dates then they both got in the queue? Is there a timer on the other one while Im still selecting seats for my priority date? Thanks!
Once they both get through the queue, then you need to focus on one before the other. The queues will not be completely in sync so one will get through before the other. Just focus on buying tickets on that screen first before going to the other one. Try to finalize your ticket purchase and then look at the second event afterwards
Thank you so much for all your help!! I was wondering, can you use the app to buy tickets for multiple shows with a pre sale code or will you only be able to purchase tickets for one show there?
With the app you can only buy for one show at a time unfortunately. If you want to try for two shows at the same time, you should be using a computer/laptop and then have multiple tabs going at the same time for Verified Fan presales
thumbsuprun that makes sense! I’m trying for two shows in different time zones so they go on sale at different times, will my code work for that or should I stick to a laptop? I watched your other video on which to use and I’d prefer to use my phone app if possible
In that case you should be fine to use the app, so long as the amount of time between when the tickets goes on sale is sufficient. So if it’s a 3pm est and 6pm est times for the presales, that’s more than enough to work with. If they are back to back though (3pm and 4pm) though, then I’d consider still using the app for the first show, but then also getting your computer logged in for the second show.
As for the codes, the same code can be used for multiple shows, so it’ll work the same way for each of them just fine. Go ahead and type it in, and the seats will open up for you 😄🎟
thumbsuprun I’ve got two hours in between but I think I should be okay! Thank you so much!!!
I asked ticket Master if we can use the same code on multiple tabs for multiple shows and this is what they told me:
"Yes, but no more than one tab per show.
You may only use multiple tabs when shopping for more than one show on this tour. As a reminder:
-If you�d like to shop for tickets to multiple shows, no matter the time zone, you will need to join the Waiting Room for each one.
-Please only join the Waiting Room once and only use one tab per show to reduce any delays.
-Once you join the Waiting Room, do not close your page.
-Please use the same access code to unlock access to tickets when shopping for multiple shows."
But I still don't understand. It like that are saying yes and no. Which one is it? Yes or No?? It's like they are not sure themselves.
They are saying that for each SPECIFIC event date, you should not join more than once and only use one tab for that event
If you want to try to buy tickets to more than one event (ie day 1 and day 2 of a show happening in the same city), you can join each of them with one tab from the same device. Again, just make sure you only open one tab for each of those events.
Hope that’s clear! 🤞🏽🎟😄
@@thumbsuprun ok so one tab for each event on one device got it👍
Normally I would say not to do it, but with how Ticketmaster has confirmed for this specific tour that it should be okay (it also is a requirement since it’s the same code for each event instead of custom codes for each individual one) I would feel less worried in this one situation.
The main reason not to use multiple tabs normally is just due to how you can run into errors during the checkout process. If you are checking out for one event and then also join the checkout for the second event at the same time, it can result in errors there. Sometimes the queues can have issues too, it’s a very problematic experience.
Basically just have to be very careful and don’t push it if you’re worried about getting an error
You are awesome. When the clock gets to zero is there a place to enter the code?
When the clock hits 0, you’ll be placed into the queue when that gets down to 1, it will move you into the ticket buying page and that’s where you’ll enter in your code 😄🎟
@@thumbsuprun You are the best! One more question, if I click the link from the message that I received from Ticketmaster that has my code, if my default is set to Ticketmaster it pulls in an error saying website blocked but if I make my default crome, it goes straight to the countdown. Is this normal?
Just wondering if I should buy from Ticketmaster app or ticketmaster website from my mobile device.
Strange error. Never seen something like that before. I would just say use the site/app that actually lets you in 😅 maybe it’ll work when the waiting room opens up, so try again then. But I’d still problematic then just use chrome and go from there
The mobile browser isn’t a problem, it just doesn’t look as nice and your screen real estate is shrunk a little too if the browser extends out at all. But overall it should function the same way as the app
Thank you so much for the info! One other thing, if you don’t get into the verified presale and get the email, is there any way to tell if you’re flagged or not?
Not getting Verified doesn’t mean you’ve been flagged, especially when there are so many people signing up and only so few codes to go around.
The only real way of knowing if you’ve been flagged is Over a period of time. If you find over the next 5-10 queues you attempt to join for different events that you’re always at the back, then you may want to consider just starting up a whole new account at that point. Otherwise just not getting Verified from this one time shouldn’t be an indicator of anything ☺️🎟
thumbsuprun ok thank you so much!
I wasn’t sure if there was only ground floor and first floor access for those who gain access to presale but then again each stadiums I see look different. I was referring to MetLife stadium but also I regretted dropping a good amount of money for army membership mainly because I was not sure what was going on and did not want to risk having to fight over only a few seats in general public sale date. I would have rather waited for the public if many seats were open
You likely made the right decision for opting to try and get seats through one of the Verified Fan presales, because allocation within the general sale will be extremely limited based on the verified fan allocations.
thumbsuprun yes have applied for the second day presale first. Actually realized second day is more flexible schedule to get tickets so I think I did not need the first day access oops 🙊 I guess this means I do not have access to second day anymore if get verified for first day membership one. Thank you for clearing things out ! Your videos helped a lot !
Also one last question! I heard some say that it's best/faster to click tickets/seats that are on the sidebar rather than searching on the map to pick your seats. Is that true? Does it matter?
And does it matter how early you get on the ticketmaster site before the waiting room opens? If I leave the site open for hours and just wait would my chances be higher?
I prefer the sidebar because picking on the map is laggy and potentially not up to date. The sidebar isn’t perfect either but it’s more likely to check out than picking on the map 😄
@@thumbsuprun Thank you!!!!
Hi! first off your videos all abt buying tickets are so helpful and great so thank u. I have two question though
1) if I get a presale code, can I use the same code on different devices?
2) This isn’t for vf presale but if I’m logged in on one device with my ticketmaster acc on a computer, can I open multiple tabs on chrome and safari with ticketmaster but not being signed into my acc? And so if I get tickets while not being signed in will it effect anything with buying the tickets?
Sorry if it’s complicated but I’m so nervous abt buying tix for bts next week 🤯
Alsoooo let’s say my friend gets 2 tix for me n her, can I use her acc with the info but the change the card info before buying?
Glad they're helpful!
1) Yes you can, but just make sure you aren't trying to enter the same event when using the code. Example - if you use the code on your first device for a NY show, then the other device should be used for a different show. What I don't have complete knowledge of yet is what happens when you want to use two devices for the same time slot but different shows. Normally VF codes are for individual shows, but since this is the same code for all shows its just a new format.
2) Once you sign into TM on your device, any new tabs you open will be automatically logged into your account already within the same browser. You won't be able to just get additional tabs of the ticket buying page working as you'll just run into errors when trying to check out because Ticketmaster can't figure out where the correct ticket buying page pathway is anymore. It isn't worth the hassle. Now if you opened tabs to get into different events, that's a different story and you should be fine there
Yep that can work, but then there's also a risk of the accounts getting linked together in the future. It isn't a big deal really as I'm sure you're both working together to be able to buy tickets so I wouldn't see any issues :)
thumbsuprun ohhhh ok thank u sm!
Hello! I just saw your video and it was a HUGE lifesaver. I still have one question though, and that is if the tickets go on sale 3pm, what time should I be on the website and trying to get in line? I’m still a bit confused on this part especially what queue means (?) I know Ticketmaster says to be on the website 10 minutes before but I’ve heard that people were waiting in the “queue” for over three hours and I don’t really understand.
People saying they wait 3 hours in line are all crazy 😂 the waiting room for tickets opens about 30 mins in advance so just go to the event you want to buy tickets for around then. You will need to log in and then join the waiting room. There will be a button to click to join in. You’ll go through a phone verification and then once you actually are in, you’ll see a countdown. When the countdown goes to 0, the presale has begun and you’ll be placed in line with a queue number. When your number hits 1, your page will change and move to the ticket buying page. Enter your presale code and start buying tickets!!!! 🤞🏽😄🤞🏽
@@thumbsuprun so you wait in the Que at like 2:30 cause rn I can't join the Que☹
Haha exactly, 2:30pm is the right time to join
This really help me a lot because Alabama time zone is cst and Florida is a est zone . So I had to set in alarm for 1:30 my time since it’s 2:30 there time so I won’t miss the exact time to join the “queue” . I’m new to all of this Ticketmaster stuff so thank you so much
Can you use your home wifi and your own phone data to get the pre sale tickets? Of course ill be using different accounts.
If that’s how you can get set up, you should be good to go!
For presale verification both membership and non membership- is the entire stadium seating chart open for a select few orrr is everyone that has been verified given opportunity for a select number of seats. Also if you wanted second floor will the option not be available if you get first access ? Thank you for the uploads !
Everyone who is verified for their specific Verified Fan presale will have access to the allocated seats that are set aside. Now the issue is that because more people will be buying tickets than are likely available, not everyone will get a chance to actually get through to buy tickets during the presales.
Allocations are decided by the promoters, but for the most part there will be seats across all price points and seating location types for you to choose from when you get through the queue to finally purchase your seats. The first presale will obviously have a better allocation, second presale a lesser allocation, and then the general sale will be essentially everything else remaining
thumbsuprun Glad to hear that seats may most likely be across all price points ! Also do you enter preque line automatically if you are waiting on the site ? And I think will try to not refresh page all the way until the end
Is there an algorithm whether buying tickets is better on the app rather than a computer browser?
Nope! Shouldn’t be a difference as to which device you use when trying to buy tickets. You’re safe with either 😄
Question: Do you know why the screen goes white and says “we are unable to complete your request on this device”. I don’t have my account open in other devices. What can I do if I don’t have a desktop or a laptop 😔 I’ll be trying to buy tickets next week but I’m scared that this is going to happen again
Thank you for all the videos you’ve done they are SUPER helpful, it’s my first time buying tickets from ticketmaster US 😊
I’ve seen that error before and it’s usually just a block that has been placed by Ticketmaster on your account. Were you trying to log in from that account from more than one device at the same time? Or did you have multiple tabs open?
It goes away eventually but when you get it, you normally won’t be able to check out or add any tickets to your cart when it comes up for a couple of hours.
thumbsuprun Thank you for answering and No 😕 I just have my account in the app and no other devices, do you think it has something to do that I made various accounts using slightly different emails? I mean I was dumb enough to make them now I regret ever doing that 😅 does it go away or will I have to use a different device next week I’m so scared that it won’t work even for next week 😭 should I use my cousins account? So many questions I’m sorry 😕
All of the multiple accounts certainly could be a contributing factor in this case. Very likely you have an IP block at this point. Best case for you will be to use a different device (and different IP if you can) when you do eventually try to buy tickets as it’s likely those accounts you created will no longer be very useful to you until the block is cleared
hello!!! I was wondering if it’s allowed to use the same PayPal/debit card for multiple accounts since me and my friends are putting all our money into one but are using our own Ticketmaster accounts, would that be fine or will it cause any trouble ? Thank you for these great videos btw 💗!!!!
It’s only a problem if you’re all buying tickets to the same event. If the same billing info is used more then once and you go over the ticket limit, your order(s) are subject to cancellation. If you buy to different events, then you’ll be fine
thumbsuprun ohh I see!!! will it be fine if we queue up at the same time for one event but only use one account to buy the tickets for whoever gets it first ? that was ideally the plan ;-;
Yep that’s fine 😄🎟
thumbsuprun thank you so much 🥺💗💗💗!!!!
hi! do i have to buy the tickets using the same account that i got the presale code with? thanks and love your videos
Thank you!!
Yes, you need to use the account that received the code. You cannot share a code or use it on another account
thumbsuprun thanks so much!
Once you have the code and are verified can you have for them same account simultaneously in four different waiting rooms ?
For example one tab for levi day 1 one for levi day 2 one for dallas day 1 dallas day 2
Also for one venue. Can you buy for both days at one venue and then checkout?
The same account can be in multiple waiting rooms at the same time according to Ticketmaster for the BTS Verified Fan presale. So yes, you could have 1 tab open for each show date as you described. Just make sure you don’t open a tab twice for the same exact show date.
In terms of the one venue but two days, each event date will be its own separate transaction, so you need to check out for each event individually even if two dates are at the same location
@@thumbsuprun Hey! thanks for all the great info! just to clarify: for the presale code when you say "you could have 1 tab open for each show date" do you mean i can use/log into the same account from 2 different devices entirely or literally just tabs on the same web browser? if not two devices, can it be different windows side by side so you can see what's happening in both? and this is ok to do simultaneously?? And in any of those cases, will they have a problem if im using the same credit card for both checkouts at the same time or am i ok because its one card being used for two different dates? (sorry this turned out long... 😬)
I mean it in the sense of two literal tabs from the same browser/device. If you want them side by side, just pull the tab apart and then split screen to have them beside each other.
No problem using the same credit card, but I would recommend trying to cart tickets on both and then only continuing in one checkout process before completing the second one (if you have the time). You have the potential for your checkout process to get a little wonky if you fill them both out too fast, so just use the allotted time and do it right. If one queue goes faster than the other though, then just try to finish that checkout before the next queue is ready for you to buy tickets!
🎟🎟😄🙌🏽
Sorry if someone already asked this, but can we buy tickets from different sections in the same purchase? As in, if my friend prefers the 3rd level and i wanted 1st level would that be possible to select? Thank you for the videos!
Yes! You can do so, but only if you select seats from the map directly. You cannot mix and match rows and sections when clicking through the sidebar
@@thumbsuprun Thank you so much!
Hi, thank you so much for making this video. I have a question regarding making different accounts for the presale. If I make 3 accounts using different phone numbers but the same name & zip code (they did not ask for my address) does that mean my account(s) can be flagged? Also if I made all the accounts while using my home wifi will it flag my account (lose the chance of getting code)? I have not put any card info in any of the accounts btw. I'm doing this just to use one code, not multi. thank you again :)
If they have the same name and zip code or other similar information, Ticketmaster should be able to link all the accounts together and consider it as one instead of 3 (especially if they were all made on the same network).
You’re better off having friends make an account and apply for the VF presale themselves instead of you making extra accounts. From your perspective, just stick to one account since it won’t help you at all in the end is my thought process. Hope that helps!
@@thumbsuprun okay thank you, however will my account be flagged or they won't let me get tickets?
Your account will likely be flagged by noticing the three accounts that all signed up, and then treating them as if they were just one account. I don’t think you’ll have an issue other than you should only expect to get at most one code instead of potentially one for each account (ie the extra accounts will not help your odds essentially)
They will be able to determine they all came from the same IP address even if the info on the accounts all shows up as different. Most likely Ticketmaster will simply lump all of these together and consider it as one linked account. So I would not be expecting you to get any more than 1 code between the bunch of them you made.
No real way to fix it at this point, maybe have some other friends also apply from their own locations and hopefully within the group of you and your friends, some will get verified and it’ll work out better that way 🤞🏽🤞🏽🎟
hey I just wanna say thank you so much for your videos, I got vip soundcheck tickets! as thankful as I am, they are relatively far still so I was wondering if you know if soundcheck tickets can be upgraded? I have 2 sc tickets that I bought during the fanclub presale but would like closer ones.
Woo exciting!! So tickets themselves unfortunately cannot be upgraded (for the most part) when you purchase them through Ticketmaster. The tickets you bought are generally the tickets you get.
If you’d like to upgrade, your first option will be to see if there are available tickets from the box office (ie on Ticketmaster) that are NOT resale tickets (red dots on the map). Should be blue dots. If there are, you can try to call Ticketmaster and see if they will allow you to upgrade your seats assuming they are the same price point. They may or may not be able to so as each venue/event/tour is different.
If they cannot do it, then your only option would be to sell your tickets and use those funds to buy new ones. Though with that it’s not guaranteed you can even sell them as they are will-call tickets so there’s a lot more loopholes you jump through.
Long story long, I don’t foresee you being able to upgrade unless available tickets show up on Ticketmaster and you call and try to request them to move you to the new seats. No guarantee they’ll even allow it though 😔Sorry that wasn’t more helpful!
thumbsuprun Thanks for responding! VIP tickets are typically the yellow ones with stars so is there ANY chance they could pop up like the blue ones?
I mean...there’s a chance but I think it’ll be unlikely since the VIP seats were all very sought after. If you do see any I would try to contact Ticketmaster immediately to see if they can do it, but I wouldn’t get your hopes up too high =[
thumbsuprun Thank you!
Hi! I was also wondering if you think what browser you use on your laptop makes a difference? (I.e. is chrome better than firefox or internet explorer?)
I prefer chrome, just avoid internet explorer. Some of the older versions are now out of date and can’t support the updated Ticketmaster website. Stick to chrome or Firefox if you can. Microsoft Edge isn’t terrible either
@@thumbsuprun great! Thank you again so much for taking all of this time to help us!! You've made ticket buying a lot less stressful 😊
That’s always been my goal! Glad it’s working 😄🎟
quick question, im 4 hours away from trying to buy my presale tickets, do you choose which seats you want exactly or just the general area? I want bleachers for me and my mom.
im probably overthinking all of this but I want to be super safe as we don't know how quickly they will sell out.
your videos are very helpful, they are making me feel a little bit more confident about this presale uwu
Depends on your seating preference and the device you’re using.
From your phone you have access to both map and list view. Map view is the same on phone and computer, and you basically select the section you want and it’ll bring you to the individual seat selection map and you can pick what you want.
If you’re in list view, you will want to be more careful unless the entire section is the same type of seating. The list will suggest options for you instead of letting you zoom in to the exact seats on the map.
You can test it out right now with some other random events on Ticketmaster using the app to see what I mean. Just remember that the computer does not offer a list view but rather just a sidebar with suggested options and the map view to pick specific seats
@@thumbsuprun ok thank you so much!
you’ve probably answered this but i just need clarification, once i’m ready to check out on the app, do i have to put my card info in again or will automatically be there since i added my card to the ticketmaster website?
also if i don’t get a presale code later today, will i still have a good chance of getting tickets on friday which is the general public ticket sale day? i really don’t want to have to get resales tickets bc they are super overpriced unfortunately
If your billing info is in your account already then you will only need to put in the security code of your credit card (the 3 or 4 digit number) to complete your purchase.
If you don’t get a presale code, then unfortunately the general sale will be tough to get tickets through. Like very tough 😔 not impossible though! 🤞🏽🤞🏽🎟
thumbsuprun thank you sm !!!
You should really change the answer about refreshing...the waiting room opened exactly 1 hour before sales. My eyes never left the screen. Nothing changed on the screen when it opened. Because of your advice I didn’t refresh. I saw on twitter that others were already in the waiting room. I decided to refresh and the waiting room had been open for 13 minutes. I would have been towards the front of the line had I refreshed...but because you said not to refresh, I was number 4,364. 😡🤬
I’m very sorry to hear that 😫 it may have been some miscommunication on my part, but essentially you need to get into the waiting room about 30 mins before the event. If you look at some of the comments on here I had mentioned to people that if you don’t get a prompt to join it that you should then refresh only once by 15 mins before the event.
I hope you were still able to get the tickets you wanted 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🎟!!
Hey man, a question I hope you see before the presale! Can other people still get the same ticket if that ticket is already added into your cart?
Hello hello!
They cannot. Once a ticket is in your cart (and you are in the checkout process), the tickets will remain with you until you either complete the ticket purchase or you abandon the tickets and the timer runs out.
Now that doesn’t mean if on the map you see a blue dot that when you try to add them to your cart that they are going to be yours no matter what. The map isn’t 100% up to date all the time so seats may not actually be available even if you see them. Just keep that in mind!
@@thumbsuprun So I have to be in the checkout process to fully claim it or as long as its in my cart, it's secured?
Exactly! Once you move to the checkout process, they are yours and you’ll see a timer at the top right
@@thumbsuprun Thank you so much! I got my tickets! I really appreciate all the information you gave over the past few days! Really helped me a lot
I GOT VERIFIED FOR BTS!!!! Holy smokes!!!! Another ?, if you don’t mind. I got a text with a link and a code and I dumbly tried to join today’s queue and says I’m not linked to this verified sale. Did I ruin my chances for tomorrow? HELP!!!!
Hahaha it’s okay!! The way the queue works for Verified Fan presales is that you can only log in for the presale you’re signed up for. So no matter what you do it would give you a rejection tonight.
Tomorrow has no bearing on you attempting to get in today. You will have a shot tomorrow like everyone else, your chances are not ruined, you’ll be fine!!
thumbsuprun okay! Phew! Thought I messed it up! Another question I was going to ask is do you prefer using a laptop with WiFi or a cell phone using WiFi? I’m still undecided. How will I know if a ticket is vip as well? Sorry. Super nervous and excited
@thumbsuprun I got Verified for the General Presale as well, and I did the same thing as her, but I didn’t put my code in.
If I refresh the page, would it mess anything up for me ??!
I’m trying to buy tickets with my own account as well as my friend’s account since she’ll be at work during the sale. Is it ok to have both accounts open in two separate tabs? Both accounts are linked to different two different emails and phone #s. Thanks so much for all the info!
You should use two different devices if you’re using two accounts. You may run into issues with one device.
If you only have access to one device though, then I would recommend using an incognito browser for one account, and then a regular browser for the other. Don’t open them up as two tabs with the same browser
thumbsuprun Thanks so much for all your help!! We got the tickets!!!
Do you know if all the best seats are sold during the fan presales? Or can we hope to get them also during the sales?
Many prime seats are allocated and sold during the various presales, but there is generally some seats held back for the general sale as well. It may be a limited selection but they will be made available throughout each type of presale and general sale.
Also one last last question (sorry!! can you tell I'm stressed lol), is it true that ticketmaster periodically release seats? Because you said not to refresh but I heard that sometimes once you are in the ticket sale when you refresh other tickets that weren't shown appear...
There is truth on seats being periodically released, but this doesn’t really apply for presales. It’s more on the general sale date and later on. Ticketmaster can hold back certain seats and start dropping them to the public at various points, but normally they only appear a few weeks before the event to a couple of days before. Though don’t go into it expecting to find seats released later as they will be dynamically priced as well
But again, refreshing will not make these ‘appear’. It’s just a matter of if they are released or not. Try and work with the availability you see when you get in the ticket buying page
thumbsuprun Thank you so much!! I truly appreciate you!!💜💜
I’ve recently seen or read somewhere that during a presale there is no queue, you get sent straight to selecting seats. This does not seem accurate to me. Is this true?
It can be true but only on rare occasions. However, with Verified Fan presales, you will always go through a queue. Now the only other reason I can see someone not having to go and wait in the queue was if you happened to be placed at the VERY front of the queue and then it just loaded the ticket buying page. Otherwise though, you should expect one 🎟
thumbsuprun Thank you so much for making these videos. For a newbie ticket buyer like me they are very helpful. Your videos are very informative, easy to understand and a pleasure to watch. I feel much better prepared after watching your videos. You rock!
Now go make me proud and get the best tickets you can!
thumbsuprun I did it! Within 6 minutes I had bts tickets in the section I wanted! I am so glad I came across your videos. Thank you!!! Sec 130 11th row.
Much welcome! Always happy to hear 🙌🏽🙌🏽 YOU did the hard work, I just get to bask in your glory 😎😂
Regarding this upcoming BTS presale, can I use my laptop for one date and my phone's app for a different date (they are being sold at the same time) Or would I have to use one device and open up a different tab? If feel like it's easier for me to navigate one device using per hand rather than one mouse for both dates lol but I am not sure if that's allowed but wouldn't see how that's any different from using my code for 2 diff tabs. Thanks for your help!
From everything a Ticketmaster has put out, it would be better to use one device and just have two tabs going. You can split up your screen so that each queue takes up half the screen. Or if you have dual monitors you can have one screen for each of them. That would be the easiest way to do it I think. At this point using two devices for this presale may not work as well as having one device and two tabs. Hope that helps!
@@thumbsuprun wow thank you for replying so fast! such a big help and I'm sure all of us here feel so much more relieved because of you! Most detailed ticketmaster videos 🙇♀️
Is it true that wifi is faster on laptops? If so, would it then be better to buy BTS tickets on a laptop rather than the app on my iPhone?
I honestly have no clue if that’s true or not 😅 just use what you think is fastest and run with it! As long as you feel comfortable with whatever you use then that is the best choice! 🎟😎
@@thumbsuprun Ok, thank u!
So I made the mistake of using the same IP address for presale, I registered on my account and my moms. Do you think I could still be chosen?
You should still be fine, just don’t go into it expecting both to get verified but rather only one of them if any. It’s more a risk when it’s several accounts all being signed up in quick succession from the same network/device where you should start to get concerned. Everything in moderation should be no problem 😄 good luck! 🤞🏽🎟
thumbsuprun okay thank you! It’s alright I’m just hoping for one chance at presale! I appreciate this video and your reply to my comment!
Hi! Do we need anything else other than our access code when the presale begins? Basically can it ask us to re-verify our account and send us a code by sms and ask us to enter that in? I signed into presale with my mother's phone number and she's not in the country right now so I don't really have access to her phone for the presale
They will most likely ask to confirm your account with an sms verification when you first log in to the Verified Fan presale. If you won’t have access to her phone, then you can attempt to use your own phone number but then I would just say don’t be trying to log into your account for the presale as well then. If there’s duplicate info going into these waiting rooms, you run the risk of errors and not being able to check out
Good video
If i receive a presale code and use multiple accounts to try to buy tickets, let’s say my mom and dads separate accounts, will i be able to use the same code
Depending on the type of presale code. If it’s a generic code, then yes you’ll be able to do so. If it’s a unique code, you’ll run into issues when trying to check out
Question what if you put the wrong information for the order number confirmation for the membership. I put my fan number instead of the confirmation. Am I able to change this after the deadline? I tried but I'm not sure how or where.... please help
I don’t believe you’re able to change any Verified Fan submission details once the process closes. Unfortunately you’re going to be stuck with what you’ve entered...hopefully it still works out 🤞🏽
HELP!!!! I’ve read about barricade tickets for BTS. I thought that A-J (whatever) are seated but people are talking about getting sound check and barricade! What does that mean? And is that where I would have to camp out in order to get a spot? What would be the point of purchasing a VIP ticket for 500 plus to not have a reserved seat? Someone help me solve this before verified sale! Thank you
Any Army fans out there that can answer this question? I don’t have the specifics on how barricade seating works for these events so could use your help. Please and thank you!
when do i put in the access code? after joining the waiting room/queue?
Correct, you’ll enter it after getting through the queue. Once you get on the actual ticket buying page you’ll be prompted to enter it then
@@thumbsuprun Okay just to make it sure, i was selected, i have to put that code after the queue?
Yep, you won’t enter it until you actually complete your time in the queue. When it moves you to the the ticket buying page, it’ll prompt you to enter the code then
@@thumbsuprun thank u so much
I saw your last video about being more likely to be verified if you live in that area but what if I’m from Chicago but go to college in another city that is still in Illinois so I got to have my ticket mailed to my dorm, will that affect my chances of getting verified?
That shouldn’t be an issue because you’re still located in that same region. However, I believe tickets for this tour are all mobile tickets so nothing to worry about in terms of tickets getting mailed. They may sell commemorative tickets at the checkout but you’ll be able to access the event with just your phone. You’re gonna be golden!
Do u think that if i have 2 different WiFis in my house, i could use one laptop to buy presale tickets on each WiFi at the same time? they would each be completely separate registered TM accounts. Also, during the general ticket sale, could i use my phone's LTE instead of WiFi?
I would say that both are possible and reasonable ideas. As long as you keep each account separate then you’ll be golden!
thumbsuprun thank you so much! you're a great help 🙏
I accidentally deleted my access code for the pre-sale. Am I screwed? Please help. Thank you
Contact Ticketmaster via Twitter @TMFanSupport and hope they respond quickly. Check your email though - sometimes (but not always) they email the code as well. See if there is a contact from the email as well for quicker support
@@thumbsuprun thank you so much for replying. I got a response via email and when I tweeted them. I was so heart broken until they sent me my access code again! It’s for the Adele concert! I can’t wait! Thank you so much. And good luck with your channel!!!
Hi! I have a question about the payment information, apparently Ticketmaster says that the app only lets you pay with credit card while the website lets you pay with either credit/debit/or other options for payment. Would I be able to use my debit card for the app at all? (it does have a major card company logo on it, but I just want to make sure that i will be able to use it for my purchase) I prefer using the app for a speedier check out ;7;
Hmm someone is telling you some misleading information. I just jumped onto the app and went through the checkout process, you can enter your debit card, credit card, or even use PayPal/Apple Pay if you wanted. Should be able to use your debit card assuming it is tied to a major credit card company no problem. If you prefer the app, you’re golden 😊🎟🤞🏽
thumbsuprun Thank you so much!
Ticketmaster is supposed to send the code & “special link” the day before, right? & when do they ask for your phone number/send you a temporary code to verify? Is that before or after you join the pre-queue?
Correct, they’ll send out email confirmations in the evening with the codes and important details on how to access the presale itself.
The phone number verification step occurs when you log in immediately before joining the waiting room. Once you’re in the waiting room, you no longer will need to verify again 😄🎟
thumbsuprun what if you’re already logged into the app? Will the phone number pop-up just appear as soon as we click on the event? Also, thank you so much for not only making these videos, but answering all of our questions !! I really appreciate it
Even if you’re already logged in through the app, you’ll still need to go through the phone verification step. Now, if for whatever reason it doesn’t come up but you still end up in the waiting room, then you don’t need to worry about it. So long as you can enter the waiting room then you’re golden 😄🎟
Always happy to answer questions ☺️
Sorry, I have another question. How do I open the link that Ticketmaster sent on their app?
If you open up the link on your phone, it should give you a pop up to say ‘open Ticketmaster app?’ And just hit yes to that. Or your phone at the top of the web browser that opens should have an open Ticketmaster app button too
Honestly, YOU are a life saver!!!!
If I already registered in the presale of the membership or in the general presale and I want to re-check if the information is correct, would it affect me and reduce the chances of obtaining a code?
You can review your email confirmation to see some basic info, but if you want to re-check everything, there isn’t really a proper way of doing so.
If you go through and re-submit your entire application for the Verified Fan presale, you’ll know exactly what you submitted at that point and it won’t have an effect on reducing your chances since it’s just going to take your most recent submission into account. I just make the warning for people who are applying many times in a short period of time where you could potentially run into a problem/risk of getting verified
hey! I was wondering because of ticketmaster's new rule about only having one device on your wifi connection, could I put my phone on cellular data and my laptop on reg. wifi that way I could have two devices? thanks!
Technically yes, BUT, if you are using the same account to log in for the same event waiting room, the second device will not allow you to join it. You could only join a different event (ie day 1 show in Chicago on first device, day 2 show in Chicago on second device). Make sense?
thumbsuprun yes that makes so much sense! thank you very much, you’ve been a big help!
Question if I didn’t get presale tickets will there still be tickets on the general release?
Yes there will be! Though they will be potentially much more limited since it’s all the remaining tickets. Many presales take up the majority of seats so don’t expect too much availability tomorrow
During checkout does your card need to have your name on it ??
Nope. Can be someone else’s card (assuming you have permission 😄)
So I got accepted for the verified fan presale today in Chicago but I’m now planning to go to the Metlife one instead. Is the code I received acceptable for all the concert dates or am I stuck with the one I registered for?
Your code is valid for every single show. So you can go ahead and join the queue for MetLife instead, not a problem
I think I’m just blind but I don’t see where I could save my credit card info on ticket master? Hmmmmm
Try on the computer. Go to my account, payment options (left side) and then click add new card
thumbsuprun THANK YOU! You’re a life saver 👌
How many of the total tickets usually go into the presale?
It varies by event, artist, and venue. There should be a significant allotment to each presale, but these numbers are not publicly available unfortunately.
If I had to estimate, it would be at least half the venue if not more. But again, just an estimate 😅🤷🏽♂️🎟🎟
How do I use my Verified Code access code? Where do I put it? I’m desperate. Please 😭
Oops, only saw this now. Did you figure it out? Just had to put it in when you got through the queue and was on the ticket buying page
I have an ARMY preverified code. I have the Ticketmaster App. Am I better using the app on wifi or 4g and chrome to sigin. Or am I better using my ticketmaster acct on the home computer desktop. The mobile phone app is on through our home wifi router. My concern is keeping my android S9 Note, screen active without refreshing and knocking me out of queue. Does just touching the screen refresh it. It seems there is a 10minute max setting.
How to keep screen active without refreshing?
First decide which device you think is best for you. I prefer the app but there’s no wrong answer.
To prevent your screen from turning off, either change the phone setting so it doesn’t do that or just touch the screen every few minutes to keep it active. Technically if your screen shuts off for a few moments you’ll still be fine, but any longer and you may run the risk of it losing connection.
If you have a max of 10 mins, then just touch the screen every couple of mins and you’ll be okay There
Thank thumbsuprun, I'll keep my phone in hand and just touch the screen every few minutes. Gone are the old days when we stood in line with our tents and chairs in the 70s outside Carsons for Ticketmaster to see Pink Floyd at Soldier field. Nervous old Aunt trying to get tickets to take niece. Can't believe there is only a 10 minute setting on the S9 note to keep active.
Enjoyed all your videos and thanks again for the quick response.
I think I'll go with the app on the phone via wifi.
I never got to experience the true lineups before, but I kind of wish I did!
Good luck 🤞🏽🤞🏽🎟
Got them day 2 BTS Chicago. Not bad for an old 70s gal and pink floyd fan oldie. Went through just fine 1 hr on desktop. Nerve recking!
App and mobile kept throwing me out. Seats just where we want. First selection taken when clicked so didn't hesitate on second choice.
Thanks again. You have helped a lot with yourvideo
Sometimes Ticketmaster will randomly kick us out and give us the queue ID of the queue we were in, where would we put in that queue ID to get back where we were? Can we at all?
Once you leave the queue, you cannot get back into the same waiting room unfortunately, even if you have the queue ID. It’s a very broken system in that sense so hopefully your tab does not shut down on you/kick you out or else you will not be able to get back and complete a ticket purchase. Technology can fail us a lot of the time...😩 good luck!! 🤞🏽🎟
thumbsuprun Thanks!
So on the day i buy the tickets and I want to use the home computer should I log out of my TM app so I won’t have two devices active?
Should be fine to leave it signed in since the app won’t be active during your ticket buying process anyway
life saver!
Saving lives one ticket stub at a time!
Would you advise people that got their link for the pre-sale to access the link via the text message or could they copy and paste the link into a browser? Or do we even have to use the link? Would it be fine if we just entered the site manually and enter the access code?
Oops only seeing this one now. Turns out it was fine to just open the ticket buying pages normally, code wasn’t a requirement 😄 hope you got your presale tickets!
@@thumbsuprun I got my tickets! I watched a lot of your videos and it was very helpful to me so thanks for all the tips!
Awesome! Love to hear when things work out. Enjoy the concert 😄
Hi! Would you happen to know if ticketmaster only releases seats in certain sections for each presale? (ex. only section c3 is open for verified fan presale) Thank you so so much!!
Hello! 👋🏽👋🏽
Ticketmaster and the promoter are the ones who decide how to split up the venue and determine seat allocations for each presale. This information is not publicly available so I couldn’t tell you if a specific section would be made available during each presale.
With that being said, they will generally release tickets in all of the various price points for each presale, so it is likely you will see seats in that section be available. Depending on when you get through the queue though, seats may be sold by that point as well so just keep that in mind too
@thumbsuprun you’re literally saving my life thank you so so so so much from the bottom of my heart truly!!!
In regards to the second q you answered about two presales: does that also apply to when there is an Amex Verified registration and a General Verified registration? I was afraid to register for both on my same account for fear of being denied bc of it
So when there are two verified fan presales, you can actually sign up for both with no issues. It’s no different than when they offer a Fan Club and General VF signup. Should not create any problems to try for both since they are independent draws
@@thumbsuprun Awesome! Thanks for the quick reply, I’m really enjoying your videos
hi! i have a question regarding the pre queue. how do you enter the pre queue? do you just click "see tickets" and press "join queue"?
At 230pm the waiting room will open. So find the event you want to purchase tickets for on ticketmaster and click on it, there should be a button that appears to join the queue, and then wait for it to process all the way until you get to the ticket buying page. Then enter your code when it prompts you! 😄🎟
@@thumbsuprun aahh okay, that helps a lot, thank you!
Hello when I get the presale code, can I use it to buy any ticket to any show of the map of the soul tour. For example if I put my preferred date as Saturday for metlife, can I shop for sunday for metlife first????
You can! The code is valid for any and all shows on the tour, so you can certainly search for the Sunday show first
Can I register for both BTS Global Fan presale and Ticketmaster verified fan presale? If I don't get an access code for the Global Fan presale, maybe I can get lucky and get a code for the February 6th presale.
You sure can! Ticketmaster clearly states that you can go ahead and apply for both since you might not get Verified for one or the other. Good luck!! 😄🎟🤞🏽
@@thumbsuprun Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this ticket buying process. You have been most helpful.
hi ! i have a question about the link that’s sent in the text message containing your presale code. does it matter to use this link specifically? because i’m not sure how i’d open the link up on my computer if im trying to buy tickets on that device. could i just open the event’s ticket sales page and join the pre-queue as usual, or is the link essential?
Technically you should always use the link. HOWEVER, if you open up Ticketmaster on whatever device you want to use and you go to the event page, you can try to join the queue from there directly. If it lets you in, then you’re golden and no need for the direct link. If there are any issues joining the queue though, then you will want to click the link and get directed that way.
thumbsuprun ah okay thank you very much !
THANKS KING!
Now go get those tickets!! 🎟🎟🎟
