10 Club Tickets - buying in pairs

Options

Don't know if anyone else feels the same but do you think 10C should give an option to buy single tickets? I had spares for all shows I went to and lost the money on my second tickets as only needed one. It put pressure in me as a female solo traveller to stand outside venues basically advertising this fact and also took a lot of the excitement out of my pre show experience. Nevermind the amount of money I lost because they didn't sell..! I agree with an upper ticket limit of two but how difficult would it be to also allow single ticket purchases. A lot of fans miss out in lotteries and by allowing single ticket sales this would free up more available tickets for other fans. #bankruptnow!!

    Try posting your extras here. I've never had a problem finding someone to take my spare ticket when I post it here.

    I imagine they don't offer singles because it makes it more complicated to layout the rows of tickets.

    I agree. I would like that option back when 10club used to offer single 10club ticket sales. It gives paying 10club members who want to be at the show a better chance to score tickets to the show they want to see.

    I will admit my extra Berlin went to waste. But it's also the only time that's happened and I've had spares for four shows this tour.

    I was wondering why 10c doesn't offer single tickets, when they would sell out either way. It's interesting to see how many people (including myself) don't have a concert buddy. Guess we could all post on the forum prior to the sale and try to make connections. If I still don't have a concert buddy (or 10c doesn't change their policy) by the next tour, I may have to try that.

    I am 2 for 2 with selling my extra 10C through this forum. And both were positive experiences (i.e. meeting another 10C members / fellow fans).

    I tried to sell here and outside venue but when I travel I like to see the places and enjoy the gigs not stand around for hours. Also no one about to give them away if they didn't have one. I tried..!!
    Just would be a better all round experience to just buy the one ticket I need and free up the spare for others.

I didn't even try to get rid of mine seeing how many other people were trying and failing... I just ate the cost and went by myself. At least this way I now have a ticket and wristband in good condition to frame with the poster...

    Yea I'd be pro this option or at least having the choice, think of how many people missed out on Leeds as everyone got two, I sold my spare on here but for MK which didn't sell out I'm going to make a loss as I'm the only pearl jam fan in my friend group, choosing one would be much better imo

    Yeah, that would be fine... i wonder if it wouldn't almost bring the ticket buddy thing to an end though, since spare tix would be almost non-existent. And the ticket buddy thing is awesome. So actually, I'm not sure. I see positive and negatives for both options.

    Sorry, but I hate to hear when PJ tix go to waste. Why not just give the ticket away for free?

    Part of me would like this, as I usually attend alone, but part of me likes hooking up other club members that weren't so lucky and seeing how happy they are to get the ticket. The tables have turned on me this time around as I missed out on the lottery for both of the shows I put in for, so now I'm hoping to find another kind member to hook me up.

    If anybody has a spare to Memphis this Fall,please keep me in mind. I'm coming from Nashville solo. Would like to avoid all those scalper sites and actually mingle with people that will actually be there to share the experience with me. Thanks guys.

    I was hoping to run into someone pre-show and do that, but no luck... I had an extra "Like a Boss" ticket for Gold Coast that I couldn't give away too... I think I must travel in the wrong circles. I might need to spend less time pre-show at art museums and more at bars, huh? :)
