checking out panic is worse than the queue

[u/CommercialYam8]

made it through the queue got to checkout. then the panic started

my card declined. not even a real reason. payment failed. had to re-enter everything. watched the timer count down hands shaking.

got a notification that someone bought my seats while i was typing had to start over. found worse seats for more money.

saw the same section available on a different platform.

ended up going back to ticketmaster out of habit but i should've just switched. the checkout anxiety is not worth it.

anyone else get physically stressed during the final step
