when does ticketmaster waiting room open

The Ticketmaster waiting room typically opens 15 to 30 minutes before tickets go on sale for an event. It is recommended to join at least 10 to 15 minutes prior to the sale time to secure a good spot in the queue. For some popular events, joining even earlier, around 30 minutes before, may increase your chances of a better queue position. Once in the waiting room, do not refresh the page as your spot is automatically refreshed and maintained. When it's your turn, you will be allowed to proceed to ticket selection. For example, for presales and general sales starting at 10 AM, the waiting room usually opens around 9:30 to 9:45 AM local venue time.
