I'm not going to win a popularity contest for this post but I remember that thread where that guy got shut out when trying to purchase tickets and was basically asking everybody here if they really needed to go to so many shows. Not sure if he was trying for these shows that you can't go to. But I bet that guy is either really pissed or is laughing his ass off. Little compassion for someone who goes to a buffet and can't finish their plate. Sorry for the lack of compassion. I've been in the shut out position before and I think it is equally unpleasant.
Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

Actually, I am the OP, I completely agree. I am not whining or sad about the loss of the cost to me or whatever, as I have noted a few times throughout the post, I just feel upset about the idea that these tickets may not go to a good home and simply go to waste. I am upset that they may be unused.
Also, I just received the official 10c reply:
"If a fan club member notifies us that they will not be able to make it to the show we will use the tickets to upgrade a random member who has less fortunate seats. When the box office closes at eh venue, unused tickets come back with us to the warehouse. Tickets are not resold.
We hope this better clarifies our ticketing procedures.
Best,
10c"
I may just have to begin hustling in various senses of the word... And, yes, to some above posters, I am beginning to try to sell stuff.
i asked the 10c the same question today... knowing full well what the answer would be regarding transfers would be, but there was no harm in trying hey...
i have had to eat the cost of a lot more than 2 shows... i was already prepared to do this :?
it was not the money i was worried about, more letting down my friends who had my spares. :(

I/we know they have this policy in place. However a middle ground can be found. Charge a fee to null the order or to transfer etc.Things come up in life (births deaths...) and this policy just seems to harsh to me. These seats along with others could be used by someone who really wants them. I know 10c does alot of great things but a little flexibility would be nice.

read a few posts above you
Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
Sammi: Wanna just break up?
I know of someone who was able to do this for another band who has the same policy. They went to the DMV got a new drivers license for $10. They sent the drivers license to someone and the person wore a hat to pick up the tickets.
This can be risky. For a few reasons. One, if you get caught by 10 club. Two, someone else has an old drivers license of yours.
I am not encouraging it, but it has worked in the past for other bands.
I have heard that this works for the 10c as well
but you take a chance if you give your ID to someone you don't know.

They will make sure those tix are used by members. Best you can do. I've been through it...sucks but at least they'll be put to good use,,,don't need drunk frat boys pushin into empty seats...

RISKY move! I would avoid this if your 10C membership means anything to you!
I may be in the same situation for the Halloween show and I have a fairly low number. I was/am going to write the 10club and ask them to give them to charity or someone worthwhile if they would be so kind. I feel like you, I don't care about eating the money, I just want to make sure someone gets to enjoy the tickets.
This is the EXACT reason I bought my tickets for Seattle through Ticketmaster, then I bought my flight, if something came up, I could get rid of my tickets without any problem. Lucky for me I am going to Seattle, but unless I am planning on seeing Pearl Jam on the east coast I just by my tickets from Stubhub, Ticketmaster, Craigslist, Ebay, they all make more sense to me than buying them from 10 Club and having something come up and being in that situation, especially the way the economy is right now, I just can't afford it, it's pretty easy to get tickets to any show through Ticketmaster if you just search for single tickets and not pairs.
Oh and to the OP, this is not a "tragedy" that's when they tell you you have cancer, your relative has just died, you're paralyzed from the waste down, not being able to go to a concert and losing the money doesn't really qualify as a "tragedy" in my book, upsetting, sad, bummer, yes, "tragedy" NO!

I know it sucks!
I'm sorting out Mike and might be able to help Tanya and Neil (not sure yet), but I can't do anything for Patricia or Charlie.
At least hopefully will resell the other LAs... good thing in the end I booked those in my name!
I understand that people abused the system, but there's ways to safeguard against that..
It's not like anyone is going to get an 'upgrade' to your number! :roll:
