Anyone else regularly get 403 Forbidden when trying to access tickets?

Post Body

I regularly get 403 forbidden errors after signing into the account manager site that is powered by Ticketmaster when trying to retrieve tickets for Sounders matches (and Reign matches, for that matter) from my phone. I have no trouble getting to Ticketmaster itself through its own app or website, but for some reason, it will give me 403 forbidden for match tickets consistently. It happens on my mobile network (Google Fi), my home wi-fi, and Lumen wi-fi, so I don't think it's related to my specific IP address. On TM's site, it says that the error is due to hammering their site, which ironically, if what I'm doing can even be categorized as that, it's because I keep getting 403 forbidden and am panicking about getting my tickets to the match and thus am trying over and over again.

What will happen is that eventually, miraculously, after getting the same error many times, it will work once, and I will quickly save the ticket to Google wallet with a sigh of relief. Often, I get whoever I'm with to load up my ticket. But every single match that I go to solo is a panic that maybe I won't get that miraculous moment *this* time and will not be able to get it to load to get in.

Trying to see if anyone else regularly has or has had this error so maybe we can collectively figure out what is wrong and I can avoid it in the future...
