Troubleshooting Credit Card Authorization in P3

In summary, a credit card authorization is a process that verifies the validity of a credit card before a transaction is completed. It is necessary to protect both the merchant and the cardholder from potential fraud. During the authorization, the merchant sends a request to the card issuer to verify the card information and the availability of funds. The hold on the funds typically lasts for 1-7 days and can be canceled by the merchant if the transaction is not completed within that time frame.

Every time I submit a show or order in P3 it says the card authorization isn't working at this time. Is this happening with anyone else?
 
Yep, it hasn't worked for me in a very long time. But it does get processed pretty quick, because I just submitted a show and less than 30 min. later I got notified that one card didn't go through. Great...:(
 
I hope it's not just because of the holiday.I was trying to sell a ticket, but when I press "sell" nothing happensIt used to be that if 2 people were looking at the same seat at the same time and one clicked buy then the other person would get an error. Now it seems that both people can buy simultaneously. Is this true? What happens if this occurs?Hi! I'm from Brazil and I'm going to NY next month. I bought two tickets in the P3 section for Mean Girls show, but today I was looking at the view and I got scared. Someone who has watched the show there could tell me if the view is good?
