    Did I see a Baltimore single about an hour ago or is all the F5ing started to take a toll?.
    i didn’t say anything. F5 is taking a toll on all of us.
    Agree. Thinking about day breaking and on later but I know the second I do there will be drops. Always happens 
    I took one early in the week for about 2 days. Was much needed. It definitely does help. Feel like I’ve gotten further now than I ever have since I took the break, as far as almost scoring I mean.

  • I’m starting to think that this corona virus uncertainty might affect decisions on whether to sell.  If you know you can’t go to any current shows, why not just hold onto them to see if they are rescheduled?  You know you can sell them in the few days before if they end up not rescheduling.  This thought combined with my own growing uncertainties about going (I’m a healthcare worker and my patients are all elderly and we care for my elderly in-laws who live with us) in addition to feeling discouraged by the seemingly bazillion f5 losses I’ve suffered from the beginning are leading me to feeling like I really need a day off today.  My family would also appreciate that.  

    That said, if anyone announces a scheduled Baltimore drop I’ll probably be there f5ing.

    I think that the musical chairs can only go on for so long. The Speculative buying from the 10C lottery adds good seats into the system and those are grabbed and either new people get em or people moving up. Moving up means seats in the back slow up. At some point there are no moves to make, besides the normal schedule conflicts that come up which will add inventory.

    I would think that if people thought the shows were to be postponed or canceled that would add tickets if there was a worry about refunds.

    Going to be slow from this point forward, up to the days leading up to the shows.

    It seems like the weekends have been slower anyway until we get to Sunday evening.

    Yeah last Saturday was pretty slow. I think there was two or three drops in the morning than it was dead the rest of the day. Last Sunday was really good starting in the late afternoon through the evening. l half wonder if the same with happen this weekend.

    There’s a girl on Facebook trying to list a pair of Baltimore floors but getting the same error message

    We really broke TM!
    They didn't anticipate our determination, dedication, and commitment!

    I could see F2F tickets not being able to resold in future events. ...so no leap frogging.. I have seen some get posted this mornoing and some still reporting issues.

    If TM can charge $20/ticket in fees, they can afford the credit card fees for the F2F market.
    I've seen quite a few Pearl Jam shows.

    Yeah, I'm sure they took all that into account when they made the deal with PJ to set this up.

  • Kovsar86Kovsar86 Posts: 756
    So my question is if there is a seller loss of money when they go and list now?
    I ask because when I try to see tickets to another event I can set price. If I want to make back what I paid to include the fees I paid I have to price higher because TM is taking a cut there.

    No loss of money for seller. You get exactly what you paid including the fees and ticketmaster is not charging added fees on F2F

    Well that’s good atleast. On what I am trying to sell I will most likely lose money (not PJ) because I don’t want to go above what I paid, but to make back what I did pay kinda forced to

    I've been curious to see how far the repeated F5 would take the system. Perhaps we get some TM love for beta testing for them...? :)
