I agree. I find I have more success joining right in the start time than any time earlier.I don’t get why people wait in queue 15-30mins before tix go on sale.
Over the years I reckon I’ve had a 98% success rate going to the ticketek/Ticketmaster website 2-3mins before the on sale time, click the find tickets option right on GO time and I’m out of there in less than 10mins.
Just need to have barcode numbers ready to go, copy and paste and you’re done.
