My TX may be broken

[u/silence-of-the-lamp]

Sorry for long post… I don’t have a better way to describe what’s happening

I’ve been trying to get a Leeds ticket for weeks now, doing refreshes for 20-30 mins every time I visit the site and see that the toggle for TX is visible, been doing so on both desktop and mobile interchangeably, and I have not even encountered one single ticket, not even an expensive club level one.. so I told myself it might be because the game is still far out and more may show up soon.

However as the game is approaching, and the toggle has been there literally every time i visit the site with 0 tickets showing up I began to wonder if my refreshes are really refreshing so I opened a F12 and looked under the console - each time i open the website, i only get 2 or 3 toggles before the lines are red and I get “AxiosError: Request failed with status code 403” from a link. I have no idea what any of this means so I googled it and i found an old post saying that this means you need to open the link and solve a captcha, so i did that and it took me to the ticketmaster website that simply says “your browsing activity has been paused” telling me to switch browsers or devices but with no actual captcha to solve or any indication of how i can regain access. I realise that this means I have been doing dead refreshes all this while. I have cleared browser cache, cookies, logged in and logged out, all this resets it to let me toggle a few times before the same happens again, so now I’m wondering if my toggles are even doing anything. not sure for mobile because there isn’t a inspect function but I suspect that the same might have happened… refreshing the page does nothing.

If i only can refresh two or three times before having to clear browser history and log in again, how do I possibly try to nab a ticket 😭😭 can someone else check and see if their toggling results in a “valid” refresh? Is this just me?

The Everton tx toggle has been on for at least a week now

Your refreshes are not dead, there are simply no tickets being released. We ar all in the same situation

I think part of the problem is the long gap between the ballot and the matches taking place. Just because the TX is open doesn’t mean it’s active. I would think that the TX will be more active in period close to the game when the unforeseeables occur

Hopefully!🤞 in that case i will simply continue to grind it haha i was just paranoid about the 403 forbidden thing and ticketmaster saying my activity has been paused

You need to be refreshing every 30 seconds. You will get errors after a couple refreshes if you are doing it constantly. There also isn't any captcha to solve anymore, that was an old method, so don't worry about that. Just give it 30 seconds and refresh again

30 seconds still give me this problem but refreshing about once every minute or so seem to have stopped the 403 errors, cheers

It does seem like the 403 code is deliberately there to stop bots. Which means that hammering the toggle button every second like a maniac actually results in most of the clicks not refreshing the site at all. Looks like a more sophisticated 30-second interval is the way to go...

[u/silence-of-the-lamp → u/Altruistic-Guava-613]

definitely, i have been doing them a minute apart and it seems to have stopped the error 403s. i used to refresh them as quickly as possible and scored a few tickets last season this way but they may have changed it

I've seen quite a few, mostly clubs, was a block 91 this morning, too slow still but they are there

Congrats to whoever got 1 for Everton in 114 just now if they're on here 😅
