Good to know, thanks for the tip!"
Yes, I reread Kofler's computer message. I did have the same error message a couple of weeks ago (Were sorry, were having a problem with this feature of the site right now) when shows first announced ticket availability.
I called the Telecharge number. The security/tech rep couldn't find any issue related to the account and said the overwhelming volume likely caused the error message to appear.
This thread triggered a memory of a similar event I had. A few years back, I bought Great Comet tickets. Shortly thereafter, I searched days, weeks, months for stage seating. I was locked out when I tried to buy. I called Telecharge and was transferred to the security/tech group. The rep said multiple purchases and extensive searches triggers a potential fraud warning so it locks down the account. They immediately removed the lock.
Either way, a call to Telecharge and getting transferred to the security/tech group will uncover if the freeze is their fraud alert or an overwhelmed system.
