    They are creating TM accounts with emails that they just made up and selling them as a package. Very easy to do. No clue if bots are at play here.

    Anyone in CAN trying to sell tix spoken to TM at all?
    I am not selling but trying to get an answer about a fix through chat. Based on typical TM customer service I do not have high hopes :)

    I think you guys are missing the forest through the trees here.

    There are no bots.  There are 5,000 people all trying to be the 1st one to hit buy now for 2 tickets every 10-12 minutes they pop up.

    I would take a secondary market at market prices over whatever the hell this is every day of the week, and twice on Sunday.

    I can't understand how anyone could possibly like this.

    No doubt there are a million non-bots trying, but you don't know that there aren't bots.

    10 minutes of telling me that my order is being verified and then DARN someone else beat me to it. How frustrating.

    Refreshing to try and buy other peoples scraps?  Yah I suppose that's annoying.

    It's a symptom of something good.  PJ got these tickets into the hands of fans the first time around.   Most of them seem to have been bought by people who wanted to go.   Thus there's not even that many for people sell unwanted tickets.    The whole thing was to get tickets in the fans, out of resellers, and have the majority of the venue be fans who bought them from the primary market at face value.

    I think it's a success.   It still doesn't mean that more people want tickets than can fit in the venue.    Overall I think it's amazing what they pulled off.

    It really should give the 1st person to get the listing in their cart 2 mins to buy them or something.

    It's crazy that it's the 1st one to hit Buy Now apparently.

    Determination - and me entertaining my mother-in-law before, during, and after dinner so my husband could keep refreshing the page - and SUCCESS! In the 300s, but in the arena, for St. Louis!! We had flights and hotel, just needed tickets. 

    Now on to Baltimore...have a feeling we'll be rescheduling our Southwest flights and canceling our hotel. Not feeling so lucky about this show.

    I think Baltimore might be a little easier to get the closer it gets to the show.... maybe.

    So response from TM support about trying to list Canadian show tickets... was "just keep trying to list tickets for sale and it will eventually work". Amazing. Said they are aware of it and should start working "later"
