Anyone receive codes for both MSG and Baltimore? I am quite certain put in for both and only received an MSG code which I am trying to reconcile with the language used in the email "receive a code for each show registered for".  Side-note, first selection was MSG followed by Baltimore.

I’m wondering about this too - you would think that we’d hear something about being waitlisted for Bmore.

I could have swore I did the same but only got the email for MSG

Reading through this people are gonna buy tickets that they can do shit with thinking they can trade them.  

Yup. This whole last week+ has been a real eye opener in terms of the baseline literacy level in this country. 

You're all lucky you didn't have to mail order Phish tickets in the 90s and buy postal money orders for each show, a separate one for shipping, and really follow all the simple directions, or they put your envelope in the back of the pile.

Did that for the Grateful Dead for years. 3x5 index card. Each line with certain info.  Money order. The whole nine 

and pray you didn't get screwed

I had 3 codes in my email. Two for Canada and 1 for Baltimore. Didn’t put in for any others if that helps.

I am quite certain I registered for Nashville and Baltimore but I only got a code for Nashville. I was wondering the same thing.

There's a line about if demand exceeds availability at the bottom of the email you got when you registered.

People won't be able to trade them to whoever they want but they'd still be able to at least get the money back if can't use the tickets via the fan to fan exchange. Directly from my Verified Fan email:

"For fans that cannot use the tickets they have purchased, Pearl Jam and Ticketmaster will offer a Fan-to-Fan Face Value Ticket Exchange* beginning February 18. There will be no additional fees charged to Exchange users for buying or selling tickets on the Exchange."

This is exactly what I was saying. I have zero experience with the fan to fan exchange or whatever the F the market square/Kroger/piggly wiggly ticket exchange thing is. You don’t lose money but you can pick the better seats and trade the others at same value to another fan who missed out.

I did the same, regged VF for both Baltimore and Nashville. Only received code for Nashville.

So with all this fan to fan resale talk, could a non 10C member grab the 10C tickets if I chose to post them?

Theoretically, but this has never been done before and info is limited so no one is sure of the details.

I got TC tix for Baltimore and won verified presale opp for Baltimore. I also registered for MSG and Nashville for both TC and TM and didn’t get a code. Bizarre process.

Same here. Won lottery tickets for STL and only got a presale code for STL when I know for certain I chose OKC as well..... and OKC was one of the shows with the best odds so I find it hard to believe I got shut out due to demand for the presale..... I hate it bc now I just have an STL code I don't even need.

I am very fortunate to have received a code for Toronto and Hamilton after already receiving Reserved seats for those two same shows in the 10C presale --- however the timing of telling 10C members where their seats are located AFTER the TM onsales makes it very hard to know what to do if decent tickets appear in the presale which may be way better than the location of the 10C tickets you may be receiving a week later (for example, if I get "seats" on the floors behind the GA's they are basically useless to me for seeing anything hence why I "request" reserved seats but there is always a risk I will get those kind of (back of the floor) tickets -- or potentially high rows in the upper level as we have been told that 10C seats will be further back than in the past).  I know one can always lay out the extra $300C or so for a pair on Thursday or Friday and then resell the "worse" pair on the TM exchange in February but it definitely is a cumbersome process especially if the seats you get from 10C are "bad" ones which may be tougher to get rid of on the exchange when all tickets are priced the same amount -- my bet is getting rid of "bad" seats for some shows that aren't MSG or Baltimore won't get snapped up right away on the exchange as people will wait to hope better ones appear for the same amount all the way until the day or so before the show (as I can't even sell my tickets for less than face value to try to get rid of them if they happen to be not so great ones). In previous iterations I know that 10C members did not find out about their tickets until the day of the show, but at least any others that were purchased on TM could be transferred to other members easily or even the hard copy 10C tickets could be exchanged with someone on the day of the show at the venue in a much easier process than now which would require you to enter with the other parties even if you aren't going to the show with them per se.  I know it's all "first world" problems as all of this stuff are luxuries and not necessities, but for all the "improvements" they have apparently made in the system, there are still some obvious issues that will arise using this methodology of ticket distribution.....

Did anybody get the code they wanted??

I don’t think you’ll have a hard time reselling in February. The rate it’s going right now, I’ll buy em.

Some of you people really need to learn to read and do a minuscule amount of investigation on your own. 

I received a confirmation email, what does that mean?

It means that we successfully received your registration. The email is simply to inform you of that. It doesn’t however, guarantee you’ll receive an invitation to shop. Once we get closer to the Verified Fan ticket sale, you’ll receive an email with additional information about your invitation status.

 

Does registering mean I get a Verified Fan access code?

Access codes are never guaranteed, and due to anticipated demand and limited supply, fans are selected at random to receive an invitation to shop.

 

Does getting an access code mean I will get tickets?

Receiving an access code means that you’ll have the opportunity to shop for tickets. However, the ability to purchase tickets is determined by supply and demand, and is not guaranteed. Tickets are available on a first come, first served basis.

So many questions, so few brain cells 

Hypothetically, say I already have 2 x 10c tix to Hamilton (hopefully GA) and I buy 2 VF tix with my code tomorrow....I should be able to walk in with 3 other people right? 2 of us go to the 10c seats/GA  and 2 go to the VF seats (with screenshots I guess once in). What about giving my TM log in to someone else to use the VF tix (family, no account security concerns). Would separate entries on same account get flagged?

Well now that it’s in bold I can read just fine. Thank You
