Following her successful Renaissance tour, demand for Cowboy Carter tickets has overwhelmed Ticketmaster's system, resulting in extended wait times. While the company denies any system crashes, they recommend using a single browser tab, clearing cookies, and avoiding VPNs for the best experience.

Security experts warn fans about potential ticket scams, particularly on social media platforms. Tony Neate, CEO of Get Safe Online, emphasizes the importance of purchasing through regulated marketplaces that offer consumer protections and money-back guarantees.

Ticketmaster specifically warns against "speculative listing," where unofficial sellers advertise tickets they don't yet possess. This practice is illegal in many states and constitutes fraud.
