I haven't followed this situation closely enough and I don't personally know the people involved - but is this person selling their spare ticket above face value? Because if they're not, I'm not sure what they've done wrong.

You're not meant to re-sell 10c tix at all, even for face value. It's quoted further up the actual bit where they say that in ticket confirmation or whatever it is. Anyway it's up to 10C to deal with, I figure someone has told them about it or they've seen this thread etc so maybe(hopefully [jmho]) they've done their thing already.

Was the person selling both tickets or just the spare?

Mmmm, not sure actually but I guess it must have been both tix?

The fact we can only purchase ten club pairs forces us to 'sell' or trade our spare - and for me - it has been the catalyst for some great PJ experiences.

Cases in point, I bought a 10 Club to the 2010 Newark show but didn't have anyone to use my spare. Luckily for me I knew someone in Manhattan who was more than happy for me to offer him a ticket and gave me face value for it. He is a ten club member and we met through this site. We had a great night! Of course, if I'd been stuck with it, I would have come to this forum to find a member who may have wanted my spare.

For LA in 2009 I traded my LA3 for an LA4 with another 10 member and we both enjoyed each show together. Again, two awesome shows and a way to score what was the hottest ticket in town with great karma attached to it.

For the 2009 Aussie tour, I purchased (at face) 10C tickets for Sydney and Melbourne shows from 10C members who had a spare after I posted a request on this forum. For great shows and great times!

As far as I know this is all ok. The ticket trading between members is a major bonus of this community and is probably as an important part of this membership as purchasing the tickets in the first place. I know that there is a very good chance i can score a ticket to a PJ show almost anywhere in the world - and meet some cool 10 club members in the process.

That's my understanding too PA, trading between 10C members is aok & helps build this community imho but yeah this person went to ebay which is not ok is how I understand it, ok to trade within 10c but public selling not ok.

I just don't really understand why not. I mean, if you buy two tickets, you have to get rid of one. Surely the Tenclub understand that. If you sell it above face value then yeah, that's no good. What's the difference between selling your spare on Ebay for face value and selling it to your friend in person for face value? Or posting on this forum that you have a spare? If it is a policy (which I don't think it is... correct me if I'm wrong) that you must sell your spare to a Tenclub member only is ridiculous.

It was first listed with a "Buy It Now" option higher than face value.
It was then relisted without a "Buy It Now" option, and the starting price was face value, so every bid would've generated a profit for the seller.
It was 1 ticket

Thanks for that. I guess they're in strife then. Ah well.

I'm not defending or attacking anyone here, but then we get the grey area...

What if i buy a pair and sell one (at face) to a friend who is not a 10c member? My wife and stepson are not members but have used my spare ticket. My best mate is not a member but he would gladly buy my ticket. Of course, these are 'my invited guests' and thus 'members by proxy', but it does show that there is a little wiggle room depending on interpretation of the policy.

Or course, there are those who will say - there is is in black and white "NO SELLING OF TICKETS", but as we see, there are instances when 'selling' is OK depending on the circumstances.

I was recently offered $500 each for my two 10C tickets to see EV. While I refused the offer, that's some serious coin and someone who needs money may jump at. It would be scalping plain and simple and totally wrong and against 10 Club rules - and I'd expect to be kicked out of the 10C if I were to di that but were exactly is the line in the sand drawn when someone asks face for their spare in a public manner?

Either way, I'm sure 10C are smart enough to look at the motivations and actions of a member is a mistake has been made or if something more sinister is at hand.

Well the fact we have someone stating they have brought ten club tickets from this eBay account for above face value in 2006 leads me to believe they have probably done it more then the 2 times we know about.


I think offering up spares here or to others is fine, but not on eBay or other type auction sites. Considering you aren't even allowed to link to eBay auctions here, wether it be your own or someone elses. and not just for tickets but any eBay link makes me think ten club would also have a problem with spares being sold for even face on ebay.

doompony

i thought selling for face was ok? have the rules changed? cuz if so, they should stop only selling doubles.

TroubledSoul

I can't see a problem with a buy it now at face only. But she's listed it at 120 to cover ebays fees. However, for the sake of 10 bucks, I can't see why you'd risk having your 10c benefits revoked.

Might this thread get locked if we keep debating 10c's no on-selling of tickets policy?

Doubt it, it was un-stickied yesterday or the day before, well after this debate started and after the person was named. If it was gonna get locked my guess is it would have been after that.

Ah cool, cheers, was just a thought. I guess 10c's contacted her(?) & done their thing then.

Anyway.... back to talking about the tour eh?
