Drops
Queue - Waiting room
Classic drops with a queue on Ticketmaster are events with high demand, such as concerts or sporting events, where tickets are released for sale at a specific time. To manage the high traffic, Ticketmaster implements a virtual waiting room, where customers are placed in a queue before being able to access the ticket purchase page.
Customers are randomly assigned a spot in the queue, and the order in which they are let in is also randomized. It's important to note that even with a spot in the virtual waiting room, there is no guarantee of getting tickets as they may sell out before you get a chance to purchase them. However, being in the queue early can increase your chances of securing tickets.

Partners presale
Partners presale, such as Amex, Citi, Chase, and Capital One presales, are exclusive ticket buying opportunities offered to customers of specific credit card companies. These presales give cardholders early access to tickets before they go on sale to the general public.
To participate in a partners presale, customers must have a valid credit card from the participating issuer. The presale usually starts a few days before the general public sale and can last for a few hours to a few days, depending on the event and the issuer.
To access the presale, customers typically need to enter a specific code provided by their credit card company on the Ticketmaster website during the presale period. This code ensures that only eligible cardholders can purchase tickets during the presale.
Partners presales can be a great way to secure tickets to a popular event before they sell out to the general public. However, they can also be highly competitive as a limited number of tickets are available during the presale.
Ticket limits on drops
Ticketmaster has different ticket limits for different events, and these limits are set by the event organizers. The limits can be based on the number of tickets per transaction, per household, per credit card, or per person. It's important to pay attention to these limits, as exceeding them can result in cancellation of your tickets and even account suspension. Additionally, some events may have specific restrictions on ticket resale or transfer, so it's important to read the terms and conditions carefully before making your purchase.
