Harry Potter access code? — Page 4

Does anyone know if access code is linked to your tm account or if another account holder can use the link?

So there's no validation that the access code is paired with a particular email address/Ticketmaster login?

The code is linked to the account.

Good luck to everyone that got an access code. I’m going to check out the general sale on Thursday but I’m not excpecting to have luck which is probably for the best as I look at m6 bank account lol. I know I’ll eventually see the show and I’m oddly okay with waiting a long time if necessary.

Also, when general sales open on the 8th, is it at 12 a.m. eastern time?

Thanks! Wishing us ALL luck!"

Every time I've been on standby, I've never heard back, so I wouldn't recommend waiting around for it... more like, just live your life and if you get a text, then you have 2.5 hours to buy tickets.

It will not be midnight, usually more like 10a to noon, but the Ticketmaster site will have the onsale time well in advance.

I was on standby last time - and this time - but I did receive an access code at about 3pm CST. Unfortunately, that was about 3 minutes before everything available was completely gone. Since I'm from out of town my only possible dates are in June - there were no tickets at any price point until late October, and even then it was slim pickings. Within about 3 minutes those were gone, too. If you do get a code their calendar is color-coded so you can immediately see the dates that are completely sold.

I did wait by two phones all day last time. I will likely do the same tomorrow bc I can't help myself. But I'm not at all optimistic. I will see if Thursday brings available seats, even if they are premium I will take them over never getting to see the show. When you aren't a local, you don't have the option of watching stub hub prices drop day of, etc. I also would rather see other shows than take my chances with the cancellation line when I have limited time to see all the shows I'd like to see. So it's this week or bust for me and HP!

Good luck to all. Was really hoping to luck into a code this time (that actually was usable) but that's life.

So BuddyStarr's comment above is NOT correct, i.e., the code can only be used with the account it was sent to? That would mean that codes cannot be "shared" with others - is that right?

I bought tickets for a friend (on his account) who was vacationing in Ireland when the first tickets were released. I used my phone, and I was able to get orchestra row D on 4/29 for him, so I think the recommendation to use a computer is nonsense.

And there was nothing built into the process to validate that the code was associated with a particular Ticketmaster account? That's good to know!

If you were chosen to get a code or be on standby, you would have more than likely found out by now.

No, the code is not associated to a particular account. However, you still have to have your own Ticketmaster account set up with a credit card. You should definitely make sure that everything is in order before the tickets go on sale, check all your information on Ticketmaster and make sure the credit card on file is valid so you don't have any mishaps when getting your tickets. they even state that you shouldn't "reload" a webpage once you get in because you may get bounced out. I got tickets for the fall the last go around but was hoping to grab 2 tickets in June instead.
