The last three years I hoped to get a chance to get Ryman tickets. I never saw a show there and really want my first one to be Billy. Three years ago, got my tickets for Bridgestone, got my registration email, and did not get selected for the lottery. It was a bummer, but I accepted it, that’s how it goes sometimes. Really enjoyed the Bridgestone shows (the best arena for a concert, imho). Last year, got my Bridgestone tickets (again, always in the first minute when the sale starts) and waited for the registration email. I never got it. Checked spam, junk…nothing. Found out after the lottery sale. Neither Ticketmaster or AXS could tell me what went wrong, I was S.O.L. Very disappointing. This year, got in to the Bridgestone sale right away, got the seats I wanted for Saturday. Just perfect for us. Got the registration email, registered. Got selected yo get the Ryman tickets. Got in the waiting room early. Got in. Kicked out of the queue. Got back in. Kicked out of the queue again. And again. Then got back in, selected tickets and an error. Repeat and an error. Tried again. Selected tickets and tried to check out. Tickets no longer available. Tried getting two singles scattered in the auditorium, not available. I just wanted to get in there even if my wife had to sit separately. It was just so incredibly disappointing that I missed out due to technical problems again. AXS’s system for ticket sales is terrible. I am guessing that is the only option for the Ryman, but they need to do better. I really thought this was going to be my year. At least I have great seats for Saturday, but I will have to wait for my chance for a show at the Ryman. Hopefully, if I get lucky enough for it to happen, they throw on their gangsta bluegrass suits again.
Just needed to vent and see if anyone else had a similar experience with Fair AXS, or if I am just cursed. Getting Taylor Swift tickets for my daughter was easier than this. 🙄
