There are a few other bugs in this flow:

Post-login, the access link parameters are stripped, so you just land on the regular tickets page.

Even once logged in, I don't think users can edit their tickets with the emailed access link. For example, my WCUS access link lands me on this page. The "status" has taken over where the edit link goes.

This seems to be because I bought it before the requirement, so it's not attached to my user account, and show_buyer_attendee_status_instead_of_edit_link takes over to display this message.
