I had the same issue back in Apr when I logged in again. Like you, my account was authenticated long ago and I won tix few times, the last one being Echoes Saitama. I suspect it's either a system update or additional security because of the ticket hoarding issue during Echoes. For overseas fans who previously used their JP phone number, they can't authenticate if they're not in Japan currently. Just call the number, let the automated bot speak, it hangs up, the page refreshes, and you're done. Make sure to dial the number with the correct international code. I think many couldn't get through the first time because they missed to remove the first 0 or something. Or they forgot their mobile plan doesn't have international call activated.
