Hey so I’ve been having this issue where the Ticketmaster website (no matter which country) does not work on Firefox… It just shows that message in the image.

I’ve tried disabling my VPN, uBlockOrigin, Privacy Badger, Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection, but no avail. I had to use G**gl* Chr*m* the other day to buy a ticket. Weird enough, I just tried using Firefox in my work laptop and the site worked without issues, even with uBlockOrigin and Privacy Badger enabled.

Any tips that might solve this without resetting my whole browser to default settings? Thanks!

Like they say perhaps it’s a feature and not a bug. Now you are free from Ticketmaster and their greedy, soulsucking business practices.

As someone who works at a venue with an exclusive arrangement with them, unfortunately being free of them means not going to any shows. They have an absolute stranglehold on the industry, at least in North America, and it would bring me significant joy to see them destroyed. They are no better to work with internally than they are externally.

Wow! Ticketmaster pretending to care about scalpers consists of … blocking Firefox? No wonder ticket sales are such a shitshow.

They won’t let valid, human customers access their own tickets through Firefox, but they’ll gladly resell scalped tickets themselves.

Just a heads up for next time - you can download Chromium, the open source version without google APIs, as a better replacement.

A few years ago I noticed some compatibility differences between my personal machine and my work laptop. My work machine was required to have Firefox ESR. Maybe you’ll have better luck with ESR?

For any specific unresolvable compatibility issues, I usually use Ungoogled Chromium.

When I’m in this situation I use a fresh (disposable) profile, it’s usually third party cookies or trackers.
