There won't be any market for scalpers outside NY and CO, with the bar codes on the tickets changing.  Stubhub isn't even listing shows outside those states.  I'm thinking the scalpers/bots may dump back tickets into the F2F when they realize there is no $ to be made.

I wouldn't be so sure.  Scalpers are not going to roll over without a fight.  Check Ebay.  Tix for every show with notes like this:

*The buyer will be given the Ticketmaster account to use for the show. Price is for all 4 tickets.

Or this one for $900 - they have to be 10 Club seats since he has no idea where they are yet.

'This sale is for 2 Pearl Jam Full View Tickets for Saturday 3/28/20 Royal Farms Arena Baltimore. Tickets will be somewhere in the arena and give you full view of the stage.  They WILL NOT be behind the stage or side view."

This is very upsetting as a 20+ yr member and true diehard loyalist. I can’t get in , yet this clown somehow has tickets ? 

He might or might not - there's a good chance he's speculating here, hence the long lead time for delivery (at least in the one listing I looked at, he said he'd be delivering some time in mid-March).

I do have to say it was nice getting into the Oakland VF sales this morning and seeing good/decent seats at 10:05, even for Saturday. Sure, they were going quickly, but I've been in these sales before and there was basically nothing left even at 10:01. If this were any other popular band, there would have nothing left after the scalper/bots took their tickets first. Getting rid of the scalper element meant way more tickets for actual fans. Sure, the most popular shows were tough, but that's more on the band's scheduling and less on the ticket system implemented.

And for the record the notion that he's speculating is much worse than the idea that he (I should probably say "they") was actually able to get all of these tickets already. It means that we will indeed be battling bots in the F2F exchange.

Why are they waiting 3 weeks to launch this thing?

Not really getting why it wouldn't be up now.

JimmyV

Only speculating but they likely are trying to sell as many tickets as possible before the F2F market opens. TM doesn't want people not buying 300 level seats because they keep seeing 100 level pop up in the exchange.

Gern Blansten

Yeah they want to sell original seats before there is a secondary market

Is it stated anywhere whether you have to have signed up for verified fan in order to use the fan to fan face value exchange system?  Unfortunately I missed the deadline for verified fan. Ridiculous I know but life is crazy right now.

No, it doesn't seem those two things are related. I believe F2F will be open to everyone but details are limited ATM.

ATM = at the moment

Not the other thing

Thank you

F2F instructions were present for vF sale today so that means it's NOT just 10c. ANYONE who buys these safe tix and doesn't want will only be able to off load on F2F

I'm beginning to think I may need to give someone a little ATM to get into this fucking Baltimore show.

I think 10c members should post here when they will be surrendering tickets to f2f.  Giving all ticket information.  That would give 10c members a better chance than the public.

I’m sure they hold some seats back to public sale, but not many. Be early and best of luck.

• Buying tickets today to barter with someone to get to another show wouldn't be possible since tickets can only be resold anonymously - lowers demand

So if I went to Nashville with GA tickets. Posted on the day of the show I'd trade a Nashville GA for a St. Louis GA. We meet at the pre-party have a drink and talk Pearl Jam until we walk in. You pay face value for the ticket right there as you're heading in. Two days later I call you in St. Louis. We meet up at the pre-party have a drink talk about the Nashville show until we head in. I pay face value for your GA ticket as we're walking in. Now if you would skip out on me in St. Louis after I just hooked you up with a GA ticket in Nashville, you wouldn't be on this board.
