The Harry Potter and the Cursed Child fan verification was rough

Trying to get fan verified for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child wasn’t exactly easy. In fact, it was pretty much impossible.

The struggle of logging in for fan verification for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was very real. Everywhere Potter fans struggled to log in on Sunday and you could almost hear their cries. Well, through the internet at least.

Basically what happened was that the server crashed because every Harry Potter fan who lived in the United States (or anywhere in the world really) logged on at the same time. And if you were like me, you realized that it wasn’t to figure out.

The phone section had many confused since you had to make sure you selected the country first, even if you were writing in a number from the default country. That is if you got that far. Many would continually log in to their TicketMaster accounts only to get pushed back out.

Eventually the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Twitter account tweeted that being the first didn’t really mean anything and everyone breathed out a sigh of relief and will (hopefully) come back to try again before registration closes. Luckily for me, I already got through because I’m nothing if not persistent and they said that I could stop and come back but I wanted it done.

So there are success stories now, those woeful tales of those who stuck it out and forced themselves to push harder and harder until they were crying from typing in their login for TicketMaster so many times. But this process is actually quite ingenious.

Maybe just don’t use it with Potter fans or at least explain that you don’t have to rush on and all do it at once. So while it was a bit of a mess starting out, fans soon sorted it out like the Sorting Hat itself and now you can go log on and make sure you register to be fan verified!
