Alright so today I’m just gonna dump my whole mess trying to snag tickets for that KSI fight online. Pure nightmare, honestly, but figured y’all might learn from my facepalms.
First up, like an idiot, I waited til the week tickets were supposed to drop. Big mistake. Huge. Woke up early the day sales opened, feeling kinda cocky with my coffee. Grabbed the laptop, the phone, even dusted off the old tablet – ready to spam refresh like a pro. Knew it was gonna be a bloodbath.
The Cluster Begins
Site goes live, boom, all three devices freeze solid. Like, instant brick mode. Felt my soul leave my body staring at spinning wheels. Tried the official vendor page everyone talks about – nada. Just error messages laughing at me. Swore I heard my router sigh.
Switched to mobile data, praying. Got further somehow. Saw a “Select Tickets” button! Clicked it faster than lightning… aaaand it timed out. Cue internal screaming.
Getting Deep Into the Trenches
Next hour looked like this:
- Reloading constantly, fingers cramping
- Got stuck on address verification TWICE
- Finally saw ticket options pop up – nosebleeds only, price way higher than I expected. What?! Clicked it anyway, beggars can’t be choosers
- Made it to checkout! Entered card details, hands actually shaking. Hit “Pay Now”… and boom, payment gateway error. Gut punch.
This piece of junk platform kept booting me to the back of the virtual line. Pure chaos. Started muttering curses under my breath, pretty sure the dog judged me.
The Actual Way I (Maybe) Scored
Right when I was ready to chuck the laptop? Tried something different:
- Ditched the laptop entirely. Phone seemed slightly less garbage.
- Logged into my account WAY before I expected tickets to be available next batch. Left it running in the background all morning.
- Stopped caring about decent seats. Saw ANY ticket? Smash that button like it owes me money. Section? Whatever. Price? Ouch, but fine.
- Used mobile payment this time, not card. Maybe faster? Felt faster.
Finally… got a freaking confirmation email. Still can’t believe it. Ticketmaster? AXS? DO NOT refresh if you get stuck, that was death. Persistence… plus sheer dumb luck and abandoning all hope for good seats. Spent the rest of the day feeling shell-shocked but weirdly victorious. Coffee budget officially blown for the month. Worth it? Ask me after the fight.
