You have enabled cache in Global Configuration. Unfortunately, cache is completely broken in Joomla! 3.7. All non-HTML requests (e.g. redirections, errors, even legitimate AJAX requests) are cached as an empty document. Moreover, even though we ask Joomla to NOT cache the ticket it still does. This ends up caching the wrong anti-spam token in the URLs of the buttons to manipulate the ticket state (close / open, enable / disable, assign / unassign) therefore breaking the interface.

We hope that eventually Joomla! will fix its broken cache APIs in a future version. Until then, the only thing you can do is disable caching on your site.

Disable jchOptimize. Does it work now? If it does it's because the third party plugin forces the browser to cache the page. FWIW caching HTML pages forever was a mistake we were doing ourselves with Admin Tools' .htaccess Maker in the past. Last September I was debugging a weird issue on one of my sites when I discovered the issue and fixed it in Admin Tools. Obviously I can't fix someone else's code, especially when they force HTML headers on our component's output :/

I have :
- disableJCHoptimizer,
- disable rewriting joomla and sh404sef URLs
- update to joomla 3.7.1
- upgrade to ATS 2.3
And I still have error 403

I have not been able to reproduce this in any way except by having either cache (in Global Configuration) or the System - Page Cache plugin enabled. However, this issue was fixed in ATS 2.3.0. The only possibility left is that your host has made a server side change, probably to their Apache mod_security2 rules, which ends up mistakenly identifying the request to close a ticket as malicious and blocks it.

Please do contact your host and ask them to at least tell you if the 403 comes from their server configuration, your .htaccess or the web application (Joomla).
