    Find 2 other friends to go since you will have 4 tics and each of you can only have 1 ticket transferred to someone else’s phone

    That's why they are constantly reminding everyone at each step of the process to only put in for what you can afford, in your scenario, there will be an issue with a potentially paid for and unused ticket.

  • I’d like to know how they are going to know where he sits. Can’t he and two other people, go in together , and have them sit in reserve and he and his friend go to GA?

    You need your phone to show your ticket.

    It's not my preference, but I can afford twice the price for one ticket.   There are going to be lots of empty seats lol

    To get in. Once you’re in him and his friend can go to GA, while the other people go to the seats. Both GAs can benefit n one phone

    I think whoever has GA is going to get wristbands immediately

  • Ah ok! Good answer.

    I "heard" that when using a ticket from your phone, when they scan it at the door that they give you a printed "paper  ticket"? If so, you could just give the exchange the printed "paper ticket."
  • mca47mca47 Posts: 13,282
    Wait, I thought the order of preference determined which pair you won.  If I put preference #1 on GA and #2 on the same show Reserved, I assumed if you didn't get GA, then Reserved was next and if you didn't get that you're out of luck.  Don't think you can win GA AND Reserve for the same show?  Right?

    That sounds like it will take forever!   The "door" is a metal detector outside.  Last year it started pouring rain minutes before they let people inside.  It's gonna be a mess lol

    Yes that is correct.   But if you have a friend who's a Ten Club Member, and both of you are trying for tix, you can both win.

    That will never happen. Defeats the purpose of a mobile ticket in every way.

    I think whoever has GA is going to get wristbands immediately

    There is generally a separate station to get your GA wristband. After all four are in. The two that are using GA go get wristbands. Its really simple

    Don't you need your ticket to actually get to your seat?  There are employees usually checking.

    A lot of the entry details are hazy, probably purposefully so. At this point anyone who isn't just planning to get one pair for them and a guest is taking on some level of risk.

    Then give your phone or a screenshot of the seats tickets to the other pair of people.

    Yeah, that works... Also, there are going to be people whose phones run out of batteries. I'm pretty sure the staff is going to boot you out just because your phone died, lol. I feel like people may be taking this aspect a little too seriously!

    Seriously. What would you have done with paper tickets? Now do that with a phone. Its not rocket science.

    You can't win GA and reserved for the same show.

    The thread asks if one friend wins GA and the other friend wins reserved how do they both do GA and have 2 other people use the reserved seats. Which is problematic given the mobile entry system in place.

    If it does happen,  the reserved Fan Club seats will probably just end up not being used.

    It has happen. I went to Who with the ticket on my phone. When i went to go in and had my phone ticket scanned and was starting to walk away when the guy said hold on, a paper ticket with all the Seat info plus Venue & date info was printing out of some device that was hooked to his hip. Took about a second or 2 the most. That was for an Arena show, so not sure if this gets done for Stadium shows.
