So try another day.. no hurry to sell...

Maybe people want their money back sooner rather than later

I got a weird version of captcha so I thought I was in, only to have it follow up with sold out.

"Pardon the Interruption".  Is that the error message everyone else is getting?

That's not an error.  you need to perform the security request.

How am I going to find a computer to repeatedly hit F5 on while I'm driving home?

Other than the expected exclusion of MSG and Denver the only one I see not active is Baltimore for some reason... 

You can see for yourself each city by trying to hit sell here:
https://www.ticketmaster.com/sell/results?artistId=K8vZ9171FdV

*edit* Also San Diego not active 

this exchange is face value, the platform of the link is price set by the seller, they have to create a new platform i guess

Now lets see when F2F tickets actually appear for a show. I hope it's random so it can't be abused.

or try not entering a price and see what happens.

Already did the security request and....

Pardon the Interruption

There was an unexpected error while processing your request. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience. Please check back soon to continue.

It wouldn't let me even type in the face value... ....so obviously they aren't ready.

I have had to perform that multiple times.  Kind of random.

I'm just curious....did people expect hundreds of tickets to be available as of a certain time today?  I never got that impression when this was discussed previously.   I assumed the site would launch at some point.....and then over time, as people want/need to list their tickets...they put them for sale.   My guess is that MOST of the time there WONT be anything listed.  I mean....take "St Louis" for example....

Out of all the tickets sold for St Louis.....how many people have just now decided they cant go to the show, or decided they no longer want to go?   that number has to be REALLLLY low, right?  

This is correct but people have been pegging all of their hopes on this exchange mechanism. A little wishful thinking is understandable.

Except for the people who are hoping for face value MSG tickets to somehow fall into their lap. That’s a lot of wishful thinking. 

Fair enough, but this is where F2F should REALLY be more....fan to fan....

If I had tickets i needed to sell (I dont), I would come on here and see who is looking to buy.   Then I would just say to them, "Hey, I am going to post these at 3:45pm."    

That way, they could get them, face value, and I know they arent going to a scalper.   

BUUUT.  Is there a delay when I post my tickets?   If i post them at 3:45, will they show up immediately, or after 5-10 minutes, etc?

I’m starting to think people would actually SAVE money by paying StubHub prices, given the amount of time, energy and resources being put into this.

What you're saying would reduce scalpers would actually empower them by allowing side deals.  It should be random timing (once you confirm you're selling, the tickets will be available within 24 hours or something) so that side deals are less likely.
