Will Stubhub be an option?

I need four seats together and doubt I’ll luck into that via the verified fan route. I’m willing to pay through the nose!  Will I even have that choice?

    It's weird but given how tickets are distributed, 4 together is just hard in general. Verified Fan and the Public Onsale are your best bet. Also, don't expect great seats. With 10C seats distributed in pairs and singles, finding 4 together would be dumb luck.

    Yeah, it’s a catch 22. I get and support the idea of verifying to keep prices down, but splitting us up is far from ideal for a show.

    I’ve traded seats at a few shows before. You have 2 good seats, 2 not so good. Then you ask some people are the 2 not so good if they want the better seats. I did this at Seattle 2, Greenville, and St. Louis for a group of 4 us to jam. It might be easier to do than try to get 4 in a row, just a little more work on game day

    Stubhub probably an option for NYC and maybe Denver? That's it though, the fan to fan exchange will be the only other option post sale. Don't freak out until the sale happens though.

    I wouldn't be confident about buying for those shows until we get a peek at how they're going to police it

    Hoping to get my two today and then try for four on the verified option. Sitting together is more important to me than two of us having amazing seats while the other two don’t.  Fingers crossed.

    In that case, I think strangesttribe's suggestion is your best move

    Wouldn't the public sale tickets be eligible for StubHub for all shows?  I would think so.  I hope I don't have to resort to StubHub, but if I get shut out on my two remaining shows I'm going to be looking at that as last option.

    Exactly what I thought.
    And even with the laws in CO and NY, it’s still against 10c policy to sell above face, no law against them enforcing that. Not to say it won’t happen, but anyone paranoid about losing their membership would think twice about selling it there maybe.
    But anything in public sale should be fair game there

    Has it been possible to list non transferable tickets on Stubhub? I thought every single ticket was supposed to be non transf

    I *thought* I read that even VF/public tix are non-transferable. Meaning you can only use the exchange for those, too.

    What I think as well, will be curious to see how it works

    I don't think so. If you search PJ on stubhub the only two US shows are MSG and Denver. If the public tix for other shows would be transferable, they'd have the events set up in their system already so speculators can start selling.

    For the 10C tickets, their rules about no resale above face and order cancellations
