Guess you were right, I think I've been banned. Can I solve this more quickly than waiting 24 hours?

your not banned but what happended is you searched to many times so ticketmaster thinks your a scalper so you get a 24 hour timeout. its what they do .it has something to do with your computer and cookies .its technical

I know, that's what I meant with "banned", actually banned for 24 hours. And I was wondering if there was a quick way to fix this. I already emailed ticketmaster this morning, no reply yet...

How do you keep on looking for better tickets if, when you do that, you get banned for 24 hours???

Try deleting all your cookies, or using a different browser, like Firefox or Chrome (if used IE previously).

You can also call the automated phone line to buy tickets (I've done this before when the TM site was slow because everyone was trying to buy tickets when they went on sale), or speak to phone rep. Or go to a Ticketmaser outlet.

Tonight will be my sixth show of the run... and I'm bringing 5 people with me, 4 of whom have never seen Prince.

I bought my tix when they went on sale - and got Collonade 9. Not bad, but certainly not the Loge 2 that were available this morning.

Does anyone have any experience upgrading seats through Ticketmaster, or do I have to drag my whole party to the Forum early and try to do it there?

I'm not sure on that one... BUT, this constant changing of ticket prices & availability is getting frustrating....

That totally sucks that Ticketmaster is banning people legimately trying to find good seats - especially when the ticket prices and locations have been so dynamic! I keep checking every hour or so to see if maybe a decent Loge seat pops up for Saturday. And now I am toying with driving up to San Jose next weekend! Prince, you're killing me softly!

Just got off the phone with Ticketmaster - they won't exchange or refund tickets on the day of the show. Even though the price drops were on show day. They blame the venue and the promoter.

Blah.

they released all of lodge 25 as 25 dollars now i pulled row r earlier now there up to row u

I've heard they will exchange nosebleed seats if the show doesn't sell out. Never hurts to ask at the Box Office when you get to the Forum.

All of the $25 Loge seats have been behind the stage/Purple Pit area in my searches, but I keep looking. However, now when I search, it is saying 'wait time 15 minutes or less' and it keeps searching... maybe they are opening some new sections at $25 and updating their site? It's very weird.

I've been trying too and get the same thing. The wait time is what seems like foorrreevvvvvveerrrrr!

I'll be there tomorrow night but was just hoping to get some for tonight so I am with you............ I GIVE UP!!!

I found 6 tickets together in Loge 36, Row P for $25 each less than an hour ago - but since TM wouldn't refund or exchange my colonnade 9 tix, I passed 'em up.

If you don't already have tickets for tonight... KEEP TRYING!

lodge 1 just came up. there redoing all the tickets now so keep trying

Has anyone had experiences with upgrading at the Forum? I am a little peeved that I hopped on my comp at noon to get the best seats possible for 25 bucks only to find better ones for those that decided to wait at the same price! How do upgrades work? Thank you!

my suggestion is knowbody should by tickets till day off unless you really want vip tables or you dont mind overpaying.theres plenty off tickets the shows arent selling and the pices keep droping.

Great Loge seats... Now Going 4 $25 for Fridays show.... WTF?

just upgraded 2 Loge 1 Section M. Right in front of the arrow. was in the colonade in front of the piano. Either one would have been good.......

Check StubHub.com between 4-5:15, good seats usually drop below face value...

All tickets come off their site at 5:30.....
