Ticketmaster and See Tickets blocking my IP address
I've been having issues recently with ticketing sites including Ticketmaster and See Tickets apparently deciding I'm a bot and blocking my IP address while in the queue to buy tickets.
I've had some back and forth with Ticketmaster over this and they insist they're not permanently blocking my IP address, although considering I can get through their queues fine when using mobile data I'm a bit sceptical. See Tickets don't even seem to have customer service to speak to without an order number so I've not been able to ask them what their problem is.
My IP address is regularly getting flagged for "unusual traffic" at this point despite me doing everything I can to stop me from being flagged as a bot; no VPNs, no browser extensions, clearing the cache and cookies in the browser, no using multiple tabs or multiple devices on the same website at the same time, etc.
Is it possible to change my IP address to prevent this from happening in the future? Any other suggestions are also welcome.
