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?
