How will 10C ticket pickup work???

Ok, so originally they said that when you pick up 10C tix, you are forced to do it in person and immediately go into the venue. This was supposed to eliminate scalping.

If this procedure was actually used, I would agree. Saw it done for some small shows in NYC and there were zero scalpers with tickets.

But now we see that TM is not going along with this, and people are printing tickets at home or having them mailed. There will be a million scalpers tickets.

So are they still going to try to force10C ticket holders into the venue after ticket pickup? Or will it be like every other PJ show...you pick them up, and then do what you please? My guess is the latter, in which case this was kind of a fake out to prevent scalpers from trying for 10C tickets. I doubt it worked.

Thoughts?

    I'm just saying I don't believe them anymore. How are they going to force 10C members into the venue when other people have the freedom to pick up tickets and do whatever? I call BS on the whole system.
  • nm, I think I read this all wrong

    I see your point... they are trusting us not to sell our tickets after we pick them up.

  • At the Santa Barbara show, I watched a guy pick up the fan club tickets. As soon as he turned away from the window; a guy came up to him and handed over a wad of cash. The scalper just walked away - it was easy money.
    Everyone is born, but not everyone is born the same. Some will grow to be butchers, or bakers, or candlestick makers. Some will only be really good at making Jell-O salad. One way or another, though, every human being is unique, for better or for worse.
