@swiftieswanttix I was dropped right into the map on 11/23 with ticket toggle but it seemed like it was a glitch like we’ve experienced occasionally in the past

@charlielangton @WWJ950 @WWJTraffic @FOX2News One correction: this is an excavator, not a backhoe

[Karen Scally @karenmscally]

@Eras_Resale And yes there was a waiting room in the past

[Karen Scally @karenmscally]

@Eras_Resale You may get a code, you may not 🤷‍♀️ I was waitlisted for Detroit and never got a code. Not all waitlisted gets one—it is a random lottery system.

@annafifelski @detroitnews West Branch is the only correct answer 😉

@MaddieTheis2 I mean, I would die if there was a photo

[Karen Scally @karenmscally]

@Nikkijohnson101 @SwiftiesWantTix It was just after 5 ET

[Karen Scally @karenmscally]

@inmygreatwarera Actually I take that back. It was Capital One’s two-factor verification, not TM requiring it. So yes, for invited fan, we did not need a code to verify before entering queue like TM had in the past.

[Karen Scally @karenmscally]

@inmygreatwarera We didn’t need to verify with a code before getting in the queue for Detroit invited but did need to verify with code texted to a phone while trying to check out just FYI

[Karen Scally @karenmscally]

@EleniKaniaris @Kat_AF13 @inmygreatwarera Well the Thurs sale last week was WAY more successful at getting tix to actual fans—so it seems like TM was actually trying something, though still not enough

[Karen Scally @karenmscally]

@tut30207705 @inmygreatwarera Yeah it’s like they put a block out to anyone who was lurking on that page to try to clear bots before starting the sale

[Karen Scally @karenmscally]

@EleniKaniaris @Kat_AF13 @inmygreatwarera You get that ^^ but it doesn’t go away. Before last Thurs, I would get that then just go back and try again. Thurs, 30 min before the drop, got that and they meant it lol.

[Karen Scally @karenmscally]

@inmygreatwarera We had been auto refreshing every 7 sec, him since 3, me since 4 (first day autorefreshing). Cleared our cache, logged out, but no luck. Switched to data just as the queues opened about 5. So block could mean = drop coming.

[Karen Scally @karenmscally]

@inmygreatwarera Just FYI: both me and hubs (Diff TM accounts) got flagged as bots about 30 mins before the Detroit sale started. I noticed others on Twitter say the same. It seems like they tried to clear out potential bots before the drop.

[Karen Scally @karenmscally]

@13MidnighTS89 @MCzaszwicz @inmygreatwarera We live in Metro Detroit. Got blocked on our wifi 30 min before tix dropped and switched to cell data.

[Karen Scally @karenmscally]

@inmygreatwarera ^This. We applied for Detroit during VF registration in Nov, got waitlisted/no code, no code 10 days before. Hubs got in as “invited fan” (no warning) for both the Thurs (got a N1 single) and Fri (unsuccessful) drops.

[Karen Scally @karenmscally]

@MaddieTheis2 I've been in grey map for an hour. Right at hour it asked me if I wanted to continue and I said yes and it didn't kick me out of the map ...

[Karen Scally @karenmscally]

@erastourticketz *well, Detroit area IP address—assumed that’s what you meant

[Karen Scally @karenmscally]

@inmygreatwarera There was ZERO heads up. My hubs got in on his account, which is the one we had registered for VF on for Detroit, but I couldn’t get in on my account. We had been refreshing since about 3. TM blocked us about 30 min before queue—got in on cell just in time.
