HELP! Ticketmaster US not accepting any of my Australian cards

[cjfinley 71]

I've tried to process transactions so many times and none of my cards are working - there's plenty of finances so I'm at a loss

perhaps its because youre using Australian payments on a US site?

I know most card companies have stopped doing it now but do you need to maybe advise them you'll be using your card internationally?

Call your bank

Are you able to buy Ticketmaster gift cards with your Australian card? I used a gift card to buy tickets for the Citi presale. They were sent to me within a few minutes by email.

That happened to me too, and I live in Canada. I bought tix to Detroit, MI USA because the venue is 15 minutes from my house in Canada. I live in a border city. Toronto is 4 hours away from me. My credit cards weren't working, so I just used PayPal. That worked. 20 minutes later I get a fraud warning text from my credit card. By then it was too late and all the presale tix were sold.

PayPal didn't work for me 🤷‍♂️ there was some ''technical error" popping up. I use PayPal to pay for many things, including a ticket for Paris show on StubHub, but Ticketmaster just refuses to accept PayPal

Thanks for all the tips everyone!

I had issues with PayPal too. It seems there must have been a glitch buying tickets for LA on the first day because once I gave up and tried my backup plan (Dallas), the transaction went through without a problem!

Oh well, at least I have tickets now and I get to check out a new city!
