    I would like your opinion on something:
    So I was lucky enough to get some F5 tickets for Baltimore, but am still once in a while logging onto TM to see if I can snag another set (possibly to upgrade mine, but also in the hopes of nabbing them for reselling back to you guys after coordinating a time on this thread).   I know the tickets have been sparse lately, but I'm sure they will pick up again, and even though I'm not dedicating a ton of time at this point, it is possible I will come across some, just like yesterday when I logged on and instantly saw the Balt 226 tickets (it think that was the section) available.

    Anyway, here's my question: I'm actually happy with the seats I have, so would it be better if I stayed out of the TM site and just let the tickets get sold as they have been selling, or would you prefer that I keep trying when I have time and then relist them here?  I'm not sure which helps or hurts the dedicated F5ers out there.  It seems like most of the tickets are already getting snagged by people on this thread, so I don't want to beat somebody out out at the last minute.
    My plan if i somehow am able to bag anymore would be buy them and walk one of the people in this thread in.

    First off, thanks for asking for opinions on this. As a rabid F5'er who has yet to score tix, I appreciate it. Having said that, I don't have a problem with you trying for an upgrade. Tix are fair game. Especially if your plan is to release the originals back into the wild. When you do that, I would just post in this group with ample notice, and put them up for grabs. I would not try and coordinate with a single person though, I'd just let the group know.

    Or this. I like this too lol. Put me down on the list of F5'ers who would take someone up on an offer like this. Could make it into a lottery of sorts. Just scroll through the last 20 pages and search for "FUCK JUST MISSED" and make a list of usernames haha

    I have the same plan.  Looking to upgrade and then would just sell my tickets for face value (+ fees) to someone on the board and walk in with them.  Or see if I can trade for MSG (longshot).

    Classy move. Saltzy and GR are men (or women) of the people!
  • Just for clarification I have no issue if you continue to try either. Walking in with someone might be the best idea because who knows what could happen putting them back out there. Or like @BagCzech said, just post a warning they are coming soon and whoever gets them gets them. 

    About walking someone in, if someone has all four tickets but the seats are in different sections, what do they show the usher? I guess at this point since your're past the front door a screen shot is OK?

    Thanks - for what it is worth I have been no where near even getting tickets.  I have never even made it to the point where they are in my cart.  But I keep trying.

    I'm pretty sure that when you enter the venue you get handed a small paper receipt with your section / row / seat

    Oh OK, I've never seen that before. I guess it prints out like a receipt.
  • I am willing to meet whoever for an extra pair at the venue and buy drinks before hand.   
    God this is making me insane

    Tough question, if you're happy with your seats I'd say just keep them and move on. With so many ISO Baltimore how would you choose the person to coordinate with? I'm trying to upgrade my seats because I'm extreme side view. If I was happy with mine I wouldn't be trying.
    What section are you in? We had sect 104 in 2013 and they were phenomenal seats. I'd do anything to be in that section again, but right now my husband and I have two singles in sect 329 and I'm thrilled to just be in the building. That said, I'm constantly trying to upgrade as I want us to be together.

    We are in section 102 row H all the way against the wall. I've heard there is no bad seat in that place, but if I can get out of the corner I will. I'm happy to be in the building regardless!

    I haven't sniffed a ticket either - seems like the well has run dry for now. I'm just trying to be in the building. I'd hang from a bungy chord harness from the ceiling at this point.

    I'd certainly buy for your beers pre-show and during the show just to get inside.

    Agreed. This system is making people illogical - neglecting our personal lives, neglecting our job responsibilities, etc... all to continuously refresh a webpage to try and get a lousy seat to a single show on a tour where there are other stops that have tickets available!

    I'm not giving up though!
