One concern I have with the fan-to-fan sale is that all the tickets will be at face value. That means by definition, people will always buy the best seat available. If you have a high member number and get bad seats, you may actually have trouble selling them. If yours are never "the best" ticket available, they will never sell. It's not like stubhub where you can lower your price to make the sale happen faster.
Very true and the best way to combat that is to only enter for shows you are certain to attend. I realize things come up, but this is more flexibility than in the past. Previous tours you would have to eat the tickets, end of story.
Oh, I plan to attend anything I put in for. But I also plan to try to upgrade... I prefer GA, but would take any seat to guarantee getting in the building. But my guess is there will be others that upgrade. Someone with a low number may have decent reserved seats, but finds a hookup with GA tix. Now they put their tix on fan to fan and I buy those. Now I have 2 pairs and need to unload my nosebleeds. Yes, first world problems.
I totally get it if someone wants to keep flipping their way to better seats, but asking for a system that maximizes your tools to do such is a bit much.
Yeah, don't get me wrong. I don't expect them to accommodate my OCD needs to upgrade 1 section at a time. But I thought the concept was interesting in that I could end up getting stuck with extra tickets that way. I can't just dump them for 1/2 off.
I mentioned this another thread but if I were them, I would not let someone buy tickets on fan-to-fan if they already were holding 10C in their account. I understand the want to upgrade, and I would do it too. But if they have a purchase limit of 2 tickets per show rule in place like they do now (and have for years and years), it makes no sense to allow people to buy more on the exchange if they're already holding. I'd bet you would need to sell the tickets you already have before buying...or not being allowed to buy at all if your account shows you had tickets...or limited purchases to one time only...otherwise people will use the system to constantly upgrade. I know that on Ticketmaster you are only allowed to change your seats once, and I wouldn't be shocked if the same rule is in place here.
Man, I hope you're right. That's an outstanding question though, no? Have they officially said anywhere whether someone holding 10C tix can buy more in the exchange?
They haven't said anything about the rules of fan-to-fan but I simply can't see them allowing people to hold more than 2 tickets in their 10c account if they have taken such measures now and in the past to spread the tickets to as many people as possible. Especially in cases like MSG where odds are down to 80% already, meaning people definitely will be shut out. It would go against everything they've done in the past with 10c ticket limits.

Here's my scenario. I am going with my wife and kid. So, I need 3 tickets. Obviously 10C is out of the question for the whole family. My plan is to go 10C and (hopefully) ensure that the wife and I get in. Then do VF and make a run at 3 tickets. If I get 3, awesome, Whole family can go and I sell the 10C tickets. If I K on VF, the the wife and kid can arm wrestle to see who gets to come with me!

Someone can easily setup a 2nd TM account
They can easily check through billing addresses to look for identical names and such. That's probably exactly what the line about them monitoring the fan to fan exchange for ten club ticket abuse is talking about.

Ok , please if you are upset about ticket prices DONT GO , if you are upset that you may have a seat and not GA or vice versa DONT GO , As much as I love Pearl Jam , I totally don't get the hate that is throw at what you all say is your favorite band. Just funny , how come row 6 is as much as row 60 ( this is how shows work ) , I was so far up at Boston 1 2018 , much better seats for the second show and I had the time of my life. Would I prefer to be front row , why of course I would but life does not work that way. Also all the getting tickets just to upgrade seems like trying to game a system. Oh yeah and I am sure some are mad that they are going thru Ticketmaster (get over it )

Based on the fact that I had to wait in the cancellation line at the Garden for night 2 in 2010 for 9 hours just to get lucky enough to score a pair 5 minutes after the show started, I'll happily take a less desirable seat location just to be in the building.

This is the most concerning thing. Oh but lets already begin whining about how far back our seats are.
If you would have predicted last week that MSG reserved odds would be at 80% 24 hours after the lottery opened you would have gotten laughed out of here.

So are the odds reflective of your chances of getting tickets with MSG as your first priority or does it include all the requests where people put it 2nd, 3rd, etc?

Yes. I’m happy and thankful it’s still high! I just can’t wrap my head around the constant debates about upgrading and nosebleed seats and “unfair” ticket prices.
I’ve been up front and in the very back before. Close it preferred but it’s not something to get all bent out of shape over, before we even have tickets in hand.

Agreed 100%. And if we're talking MSG even most of the "bad" seats are fine - the sound is good everywhere. I sat on the 300 level barstools for a Radiohead show a few years ago and those were pretty bad, but nobody is getting those in the lottery.
