What Causes Ticketmaster Error 'We could not Process your Request'?

The causes are broken down into two parts:

Advertisements

• Server-side issues: In this case, there is probably nothing you can do except try again. This is a known problem from Ticketmaster's side when the servers get overloaded when a lot of people are trying to purchase a hot ticket.
• Client-side issues: The issue, in this case, is mostly with your web browser or mobile device web application.

Update – 8th November 2021

There were two recent outages as shown per our records. This occurred due to the high load on the Ticketmaster servers because of the upcoming events.

Ticketmaster Outages

We went through some official Ticketmaster suggestions on their web page on how you can remedy this. Before moving any further, check your Ticketmaster order history. If you got the error message after the checkout page, you should first check if you have already purchased a ticket. In some cases, the error message is shown but the ticket is purchased.

Here are some recommendations and guidelines for using Ticketmaster:

• Do notlog into multiple devices at the same time. Ticketmaster keeps track of different sessions that are logged in and if there are multiple, there can be discrepancies when purchasing a ticket.
• Avoid public WiFinetworks. These are not reliable or might be flagged by Ticketmaster themselves. Use your Phone's mobile data connection instead.
• Avoid copyinglinks and pasting them on other browsers. The links are usually anchored to a current session. If you want to purchase a ticket, do it one go.

If none of the above methods worked for you or you already tried them from Ticketmaster's official troubleshooting page, then move to the solutions down below.

PS: There was some humor in Reddit as well because of the frustration this error brings. We feel for our readers but this is an ongoing problem with Ticketmaster mostly when there are pre-sale tickets.
