This analysis shows that T!ck3tm@st3r queue positions are not behaving like a truly random system. When the same accounts show up across multiple sales, their queue positions are far more consistent than random chance allows. In an actually random queue, you’d expect positions to play around - sometimes early, sometimes late. That’s not what the data shows. The implication is pretty clear: queue placement is being influenced by account-level factors, meaning some accounts are being treated differently from others instead of everyone being placed purely at random. This doesn’t tell us which accounts or why. But it does directly challenge the claim that the queue itself is random. Le sigh... talk about rigged...

@BaseLineWoo If this ARMY helps with the downfall of TM, omg. I will cackle with GLEE

@BaseLineWoo I was always number 20000-something in Brussels and 50-60k in France.

@BaseLineWoo @MrsTOH2O Yup! My older acct had better queues than my new acct.

@BaseLineWoo My first Queue was 40000 for 23 May Las Vegas Concert. Next was 20,000 for 27 May, and the last was 14000 for the 28 May Show.

@BaseLineWoo I don't think the TM queue is truly random. I already have a TM Gmail account, but I had to create one because I use a Naver account on WV. I think that since my Naver email for TM is new and I’ve never used it before, it pushed my number higher in the queue. Keep in mind-

@BaseLineWoo I was consistently getting 15-17k

@BaseLineWoo Totally agree. Tried for LA 2 days and Vegas presale and general says. Ended up in queue at 80,000 and above each time. Not random at all. Very sad and frustrating

@BaseLineWoo I had a feeling from the way my interactions went, that I was getting preferential treatment. I have an old account, purchase tickets often, previous VIP purchase, verified in every way, multiple forms of payment.... credit card, debit, PayPal. And I subscribe to their email.

@BaseLineWoo Not really surprising tbh..tm is a business..the more you use their services, the more "perks" you get. If they advertise that its random, then its false advertising. So essentially the more you use them compared to competitors or not at all, the better your odds. *sigh*

True. There were 3 of us that logged in all at the same time for different dates and cities for the presale. And each time we log in we all got almost the same queue. Maybe just a few numbers off but always around that number. I would place at 50k, my friend at 75k and my cousin at 11k. My cousin ended up getting the tickets for all of us. We had to split, 3 different dates/cities, since she's only allowed to buy 4 tickets for each city.

@BaseLineWoo @theyimyum This is sickening. I hate TM with a fiery passion. They are so corrupt- for the fans my ass!

@BaseLineWoo Partly explains why some people are able to consistently get good queue numbers 😭

@BaseLineWoo You are right. If we are all in the same queue, we would all see the number decline equally. My daughter's queue went from 2000 to 0 in 15 minutes. In that same time my queue only dropped about 150. It should have dropped 2000 if it's 1 queue. Both happend in pre and general sale

@BaseLineWoo For the first time in my 🎫 buying experience I wasn’t able to get a single one. My queque numbers in presale and general sale were over 30k. I started paying attention and noticed that same group of people got 🎫 for multiple locations and other half got zero 🎫. Def not random

@BaseLineWoo I had 30k both times

@BaseLineWoo Wonder if this is something we can send to our ombudsman's to look into?

@BaseLineWoo I tried both Munich and Paris both days. For both cities, the gap between the queue for the 1 day and 2nd day was specifically 12k.

@BaseLineWoo @Mimi7Na I believe it. I was in the low 40000s for 7 out of 8 queues in the US.

@BaseLineWoo 😢😡

@BaseLineWoo I did see a massive improvement this year with the requirements Bighit put on TM for presale

@BaseLineWoo I got crazy good queues at presale. But paying my first Tix I got flagged as a bot and couldn't get in for hours. Since then, I was consistently in the back. Even had the exact same spot for both days France.

@BaseLineWoo @yonukdeh I figured this out by the end of Thursday ticketing based on the 20 or so accounts I knew but I am/was too busy to do the full data collection/charts. I’m so glad SOMEONE is bc it’s so so clear it’s happening. And it shouldn’t work this way.

@BaseLineWoo I saw a TikTok yesterday where a girl showed how a friend's account would always get low queue numbers while her account would get high queue numbers. This was for more than 3 ticketing. When she used her friend's account to get her ticket, she got a low queue number.

@BaseLineWoo Le sigh indeed!

@BaseLineWoo My new account had 49.9k for both presale days So I switched to my original account and my numbers were in 25k range. Needless to say all tickets were all sold out before my numbers came up.

@BaseLineWoo One theory I have is that they are only randomly sorting accounts once per event/tour rather than for every individual stop on the tour they try to get tickets for. Then they use your ranking to sort you into future queues during the presale.

@BaseLineWoo When some people consistently get prime tickets across multiple shows, across multiple countries, it's not surprising. The rest of us get nothing and there is no way for us to change it. It's unfair. I wish I could say I was surprised but the trend was pretty clear already.

@BaseLineWoo Hm! I've had good queue numbers during the last few years if I do all the things, get there early, etc and it's always in my oldest account. I'm a music lover and have gone to many many concerts since I had a job and could afford it. Always thought it was just luck... maybe not.

@BaseLineWoo I freaking love how armys unveil corruption

@BaseLineWoo To some extent, I would understand why they made it behave that way and it also makes sense to give frequent buyers that kind of advantage, but only if they were transparent about it from the start.

@BaseLineWoo Totally rigged. Bc tell me how one person can have barricade for all dates in LV. How? It's definitely not a fast internet issue. This is so damn crazy.
