So AEW is coming to my town, and I want to go. One problem. Ticketmaster.
In order to sign up for an account, you need to create an account. In order to create an account, you need a phone number. They will not accept my voip phone number, which is what I use.
Ticketmaster says that I need to go out and buy a cell phone, AND sign up for a monthly plan. Just to buy tickets.
Money is in my account. I can pay for my tickets right now. I’ve been trying since yesterday when they went on sale.
But I can’t create an account, because of a lack of a cell phone number.
The box office won’t be open until october 18. Show is on October 30th.
So I’m sure all the good seats will be gone by then.
Guess I’m not going to a show I’ve wanted to go to for 2 years. I couldn’t go last year because I was dealing with cancer, and had $0 income.
As somebody who doesn’t go to shows like this for various reasons, what is stopping the fans from banding together and refusing to go to shows that are hosted by this POS company? Seems like all it would take is a bit of cooperation between people who supposedly appreciate the same things.
Based on AEW attendance numbers, I think that’s already been happening for the past year.
2 years ago I went to AEW and this same building had 8K people in the building. This upcoming show has only 25% of the building on sale. And I don’t mean it’s 75% sold out. I mean it’s like…nobody is buying a ticket, so they’ve tarped off 75% of the building.

That’s funny. I think you fail to realize how big Ticketmaster is. They own most of the venues these shows sell tickets for, so… it’s a much bigger problem and is going to require government intervention.
