I miss winters in Bavaria.
A near permanent foot on the ground with highs in the high 20s - low 30s.
Of course, that was twenty some odd years ago. It's probably in the 80s now.

I'm going to ask this question knowing that no one is going to be able to help me and i'm perpetually f***ed.
So as we all know Ticketmaster runs the show when it comes to ticketing in this country. I haven't been to a Flyers game this year up until Monday so this was my first time experiencing it.
I arrived at the gate with the tickets in my Apple Wallet and went to scan in and the ticket taker says to me "the tickets aren't in your wallet" I respond saying that they are and open my phone and go into my wallet and show them. He points out that they have a thing that says "Activating: your pass is being activated." I respond "the hell does that mean?" "It means they're not activated." Thanks, dude.
I pull up my account on the browser and just scan the barcodes and go on my way. After about an hour I get a message saying that the passes were disabled. At first I figured that had to do with them being scanned but then I looked into it more and it happens with every ticketmaster platform ticket I try to add to my account (Flyers, Eagles, and others).
The note that pops up says "This pass is associated with a different Apple Account. Contact Philadelphia Flyers (or Philadelphia Eagles, or Ticketmaster) to resolve this issue."
Google tells me this is I guess fairly common issue with people that typically pops up when someone logs in using someone's Ticketmaster to add tickets and then that Apple ID is tied to that Ticketmaster (ie a kid using a parent's account). I haven't done this.
My Apple ID and my Ticketmaster email are the same. I haven't had any issues in previous years. I believe the last event that I went to using my Wallet and tickets from the Ticketmaster platform was the Blink-182 show at the end of July. No issues then.
Ticketmaster has been no help when contacting them. They want to blame Apple when it is nearly certainly a Ticketmaster issue and they throw up their hands.
I have my Flyers rep looking into it but no idea how much they'll be able to accomplish.
Does anyone know how I can go about fixing this?

I likely could but the butterfly effect that comes from that is pretty massive when it comes to being a season ticket holder.
If it was one game here and there that'd be an easy work around.
Some reddit posts on the subject all said the work around would be to transfer tickets to another ticketmaster account and add to wallet from there but that's not really an option with the Flyers given that they reward you for number of tickets scanned in your account along with exchanging and returning options that go away once they're transferred.

Good luck, Grandpa!
Seriously, TicketMaster is doubly evil for the exorbitant fees they charge while actively making it both more complicated and riskier to rely on electronic tickets. I bought a block of ticket tokens for our local LHJMQ team this season and of course it has to go through TicketMaster, so I have to deal with their shenanigans every time I exchange a token for a ticket.
