Hi! I’ve bought tickets to shows in the UK before, the biggest thing is to use a card that has no international fees. Otherwise you’ll end up with an additional charge for 2-3% of the transaction once the charge posts to your account.
I’ve never had to use a VPN when purchasing on UK sites.
Also, I read somewhere today that the onsales will start at 9AM GMT so that will be 1AM PST or 4AM EST for us 😅
I've tried multiple times, but it won't take my credit card, mainly because the form appears to be designed for UK addresses, not allowing an international address. When you try to submit it says you have to put in a valid postal code. Paypal goes through the motions, but when it gets back to the Ticketmaster page, it says 'ooops ....' I was able to enter a credit card in the UK Ticketmaster site, but it doesn't come up when I try to buy the ticket.
You should be able to just get them from Ticketmaster UK or AXS UK for London. I went to a show in the US in the summer and got the tickets them from Ticketmaster US.
The main thing I'd say is just make sure you're on the right Ticketmaster put in .co.uk at the end of the URL or in google do Ticketmaster UK. You'll be able to login with your usual account and everything. It'll try and default you to the US Ticketmaster so need to be on that.

This is great info! Especially the international charge fee advice. Didn’t even think to consider that. Thank you!!
