Massive Tour Presales Spark Ticketmaster Multi-Queue Chaos Across Social Media
By James H. Sterling
Q1: Can I use private browsing or incognito tabs to join the same queue twice?
A1: No. Incognito mode simply isolates local browser cookies; it does not change your account identity. Once you log in to your Ticketmaster account within an incognito window, the platform immediately associates the session with your existing token, triggering identical multi-tab collision errors.
Q2: Will refreshing the page cause me to lose my place in the Smart Queue?
A2: Yes, manual refreshes carry significant risk. The queue page uses dynamic scripts to update your position automatically. Forcing a hard browser refresh can disrupt your session handshake, which frequently leads to an accidental queue position reset or pushes you to the back of the line.
Q3: Can two people in the same house buy tickets if they have different accounts?
A3: Yes, provided they each have an independently verified account with distinct phone numbers, names, and credit cards. However, to prevent IP address throttling on a shared router, one person should operate on the local Wi-Fi while the other uses a mobile cellular data connection.
