Select Another Location
Most times this error occurs it’s a result of not enough space in the location. More tickets have been selected than available for that show. In this case, you should select a different location for the show and see if the error persists. If it does, move on to the next solution.
In my experience, this has fixed this particular error since traffic collision will not be a problem when you select an alternative location. Try this out, and see if the error goes away.
Check Server Status
It’s plausible that this error could be occurring due to the server being down. This occurs when there’s a sudden flock of people on the website at once. In order to confirm this follow this link to the Downdetecter website and reconfirm if Ticketmaster is fully operational. If it’s not, the only thing you can do is wait for it to be up and running again.
Ticketmaster also informs its users of any server problems or problems in general on their Twitter account. You can also go to their Twitter account and check if they’re experiencing any issues.
