    Report that stuff to 10C as soon as you see them - they actually do go after these sellers. Apparently they have their ways.

    Definitely - looking into that now. Hate to be seen as “that guy” but come on, that’s bullshit at the end of the day.

    Not really a fan of this mobile set up.  I feel like going forward after these shows if it the system stays as it is today there will be too many ways to abuse the system with out even having any intention to be at the show.

    My guess is there are "seat numbers" on the GA tickets for a reason.  Just find the f*ks and kick them out.  
    92 - Phoenix; 93 - Mesa; 95 - Phoenix; 98 - Phoenix; 2000- Phoenix; 2003 - San Diego, Las Vegas, Phoenix; 2006 - Denver 1, Denver 2, Las Vegas, San Diego;  2009 - Chicago 1, Chicago 2, San Diego; 2013 - Phoenix, San Diego, LA 1, LA 2, Portland, Spokane, Calgary, Vancouver, Seattle; 2014 - Detroit, Moline, Milwaukee, Denver; 2016 - Ft Lauderdale, Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville, Wrigley 1 and 2; 2018 - Amsterdam 1&2, Pinkpop, London1, Milan, Padova, Rome, Prague, Krakow, Berlin, Werchter, Barca, Missoula, Chicago 1&2, Boston 1&2.

    I actually feel the opposite. I think all tix should be mobile moving forward. It would significantly cut down on fraud. Bad people will always find a way to abuse the system no matter what the vehicle is for ticket delivery.

    Thanks, I contacted 10C this morning. Hopefully they get it sorted out. Hate to see anyone get taken for that amount of money.

    Indeed. At least the old system forced someone to travel. This way, all someone needs to do is screenshot.

    Plus, the old way gave you a nice souvenir or two.

    There are easy ways to make screenshots NOT work. I'm sure they will do that next time if they haven't already. Instructions say they won't work this time, but who knows.

    At 6'5" I would be happy to be someone's +1 for the sole purpose of standing in front of this d-bag.  As a plus, there is always room to dance behind me...can't tell you the number of shows I have attended where the shorter folks behind me bitch the entire time about "the tall lummox" in front of them...as if being tall precludes you from hearing.  I have turned around and dropped the "Short and late is no way to show up to a concert....If I was as vertically challenged as you, I would have gotten in line a week ago."  There I go again....making friends at a show...

    The biggest problem I have is it appears that someone can put in for lets say 10 legitimate accounts with real names/people right now. They can then put in for as many GA as they can with those 10 not caring if they intend to go or not. They can then just flip the transferable tickets on each account for a ridiculous amount of money and not care about the loss on their non transferable. They can do this from their computer at home with no intention of every seeing a show or even liking Pearl Jam. This is not even to mention that it appears that there are ways I will not mention here that allow you to let others use your non transferable. 

    Yes in the past their were ways that you could flip tickets  but besides the MSG shows in 2016 you had to actually go to the venue limiting you to that show at least or those in the surrounding area. No set up is perfect but now that we know how this is run I hope they fix the loopholes that appear to be available in the future if this is the method they choose to use.

    If that's actually a big problem.... geez, the only fix I can think of for that, and to still not allow people to scalp day of show, is to not allow transfers at all. And make the mobile tickets live so you can't screenshot. This would anger some fans of course (what doesn't?), but it would certainly also shut down the reselling pretty well.

    Agreed. Although they might not even be a member or even have tickets. Lots of speculative selling takes place on third party sites. Keep that in mind.

    I do not think it is a big problem now since people did not know the set up exactly before the lottery was started. Going forward I can see it being a problem. That said I have no clue what 10 club does when they see a for sure 10 club ticket on an aftermarket site for an above face price. Maybe they have this on lockdown. I hope so. Just would hate to see an influx of members for the sole reason of getting GA and flipping them.

    Apparently he wasn’t using the same email or anything, so they definitely have their ways.

    You could by a burner phone for nothing basically, sell the person your phone, not the tickets (doesn't violate 10 club if worded correctly) then they have both tickets and walk in with the phone.
