Ticketmaster won't let me buy a single

I just tried to buy a single orchestra seat for Kinky Boots. There were only 2 seats left in the aisle and the system wouldn't let me leave another single. I've bought many, many single tickets over the years and I can't ever remember this happening.

Nearly all the last several shows I've gone to use Telecharge so I know it's not a problem there, does anyone know if this is a new policy? Shocked to find how few good tickets are left at Kinky now that Brendon Urie is playing Charlie, there aren't any other seats I want to sit in. Seems the producers have taken all remaining seats (especially on weekends) and made them premium.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks!

I have no idea when they started that bullsh*t but it makes me furious. I try to buy singles all the time and they never let me anymore. It's terrible and I am so glad Telecharge does not do this.

That's exactly what I was planning on trying. Glad to hear its worked for you in the past. I'm also furious that all of the remaining seats are up to $349! For Kinky Boots! I'm happy for the producers that the stunt casting helped them out (that's why I'm going back) but to put all remaining weekend orchestra seats up that high is outrageous, no? But who am I trying to kid, it's all about profit and if they can get it why not? I wonder if those seats will flip as it gets closer to the date - or if they will all sell.

Hi all, just tried to use the GHD lottery code to buy 2 tickets in a group of 3 available seats, of course the website won't let me because it leaves a single. Tried calling TM but they can't do it over the phone because they said the lottery code is an online only deal. I can't go to the box office right now but I can tonight... anyone know how to override this or if the box office will? Thank you!

Pretty risk free. If they sell them, great. If they don't a few days out, reduce them to regular price. And if that doesn't work, dump them at the TKTS booth.

Another poster described his trick on a similar thread. Use another browser or private (incognito) window in the same browser to open another Ticketmaster session. Navigate as a guest to select but not purchase the orphaned seat. Minimize, not close, the window to keep the seat reserved. Return to your regular browser session, sign in to Ticketmaster as yourself, and request the two remaining seats. Once your purchase is complete, simply maximize and close the private session.

Holy crap I can't believe that worked! THANK YOU!
