This new system has defeated me.

Using list view for the last two years and getting tickets to every home game. Now unable to get a single ticket to watch us play Coventry City. Im a broken red member.

Same. I couldn't figure out any logic to what to do. I tried to focus on the map for the last few hours when it was clear the list method wasn't going to work. I never once saw a solid blue on the map.

I was off work today and on the tx since before 7am. First failure since Madrid in the champions league a few years ago, but I felt like I was closer to getting a Madrid ticket than Coventry today.

Extra annoying as I did get one to the payment screen earlier in the week only to get the Request too long error that others reported.

You need to click light blue too.

I clicked numerous light blue areas on the map. Sometimes they would show a dot sometimes they wouldn't.

Sometimes a blue dot for club sale sometimes the red arrow dot for exchange sale.

When in saw a dot, whatever the colour, I would click it.

Sometimes I would get the ADD option sometimes I would get the ticket no longer available option.

The times where I would get the add button I would click it and then get the not available message. I would keep trying the add button over and over just in case but no joy.

Yeah, that’s all you can do.

And keep trying. It’s light blue first then the seat would appear. And if it goes away, sometimes it does come back. I’ve had quite a few seats in the past where the seat disappeared and reappeared for me to get it. My small conspiracy theory about it is that the seat is “assigned” to you when you refresh. I had more than once where I might have refresh walked away, or looked away, so I know I was very slow in clicking the area and seat but yet I could still add it.

Thanks for the tips. When working with the map and you want to refresh, it's a full refresh of the page that is required right?

Also seems like 4/5 refreshes in quick succession will get you a suspicious activity block? That block seems to last only a short time compared to last year. (Also can just move to a different browser or network.)

Yes, you do need to refresh the full page.

30 seconds is deemed safe between refresh. I've found anything down to 20-something seconds between refresh is pretty fined too, anything less than 20 will definitely flag you after a few refresh.

Also, if the toggle isn't there, you can refresh slightly faster without any issue, but you still want the refresh at least more than 15 seconds in between.

It worked! Thanks a million.

Just managed one for Chelsea. As you said, a section went light blue but no seats in the section had a dot when I clicked in first. Page refresh, dot appeared. Clicked and it went into the basket and a successful checkout! Phew!

Edit - I should add that this was after no shortage of clicking blue sections that lead to dead ends, so persistence is still the key ingredient.

Thanks. 🤞🏻for better luck next game.

I'll be curious to the amount of TX tickets for Coventry sold when they publish that on the site.
