8/19/2023 0 Comments Ticketmaster queue it![]() ![]() “There has been historically unprecedented demand with millions showing up to buy tickets!” Ticketmaster cried, as if they weren’t the ones who sent the presale codes to said millions. We finally know the true definition of “unprecedented demand.” I could have written several chapters of what could’ve later become the next great American novel, but I guess we’ll never know now. I could have fallen in and out of love with a complete stranger. I could have listened to All Too Well (10 Minute Version) 36 times. I could have bleached and dyed my hair three different colors. While sitting around waiting for the queue to get unpaused, I couldn’t help but wonder about all the things I could have been doing in all that time I was sitting around essentially doing nothing. Time isn’t real until you’re checking your place in line every five seconds and then suddenly time is the ONLY thing that exists. When you’re terrified to do anything else on your computer (not to mention even leave it for a moment unattended) because you know there’s a chance something could happen that would get you kicked out of your place in line, suddenly you realize how difficult patience really is. You might think sitting around in a virtual line for a few hours isn’t a big deal, but au contraire. Patience is a virtue-all you had to do was stay (in line (for five hours)). Most fans would have given up hours earlier-and honestly, we probably should have too, but whatever! We survived The Great War.

Not only were we competing against other fans but we were also battling dynamic pricing, an hours-long Ticketmaster outage, and our own crappy wifi connections. This was literally the Hunger Games of concert ticket sales. The Eras Tour presale really was an “everyone for themselves” moment. These are the eight life lessons I learned from being stuck in the Taylor Swift Ticketmaster queue for five hours (on a workday!): 1. 4 Zodiac Signs Who Will Thrive Under The Full Moon In Capricorn.4 Zodiacs About To Start A New Life Chapter In July.Did I still spend five hours sitting around while Ticketmaster paused the queue and delayed the presale for no reason other than their own mishandling of the event? You bet! But look, as awful as it was, it has fundamentally changed me as a person, and that’s what’s important here. Did I get into the waiting room 30 minutes early? Absolutely. Everyone will go through at least one major life-changing event in their lives, and for me (and about half of the rest of the world’s population, it seems), it was my desperate attempt to secure tickets to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. ![]()
