    From TMs perspective it makes sense to keep F2F open as it would limit refunds. They don’t care who buys the ticket and would much rather hold cash than unused tickets for an unknown date.
    Except every single F2F transaction costs them $$$. 
    Not as much as refunding their cut of the original sale
    Except only would do that if eventually gets cancelled. F2F is costing them to administrate and they're losing whatever was paid to the credit card companies with each sale. 
    No, they'd have to do it if the original ticketholder requests a refund based on the new dates. If those people instead sell on F2F there's only the negligible cost of a F2F transaction. 
    I don't think the cost of F2F is negligible though. And they won't offer refunds until new dates are announced (who knows when), and then they'd resell those tickets anyways.

    F2F transaction cost certainly isn't any higher than the transaction cost of reselling after a refund, which actually requires two transactions (refund + new sale). Then there's the time value to TM of holding the money for months, which a refund eliminates. 

    EDIT: I just got a TM email offering a refund, so they're doing it before the new dates are announced.

    Hi live event fan,

    Your event is still happening, but at a future date yet to be announced.

    Pearl Jam
    Royal Farms Arena
    Saturday, March 28th at 7:30PM
    NEW DATE: To Be Announced

    Hang on to your tickets — we'll email you as soon as the new date is announced.

    If you’re selling tickets to this event, the listing with the old date will come down — then just list the new tickets with the new date from My Account on your computer or mobile device.

    Can I get a refund? Yes, unless you have transferred tickets. For transferred tickets the refund goes to the fan who originally bought them, but you have to transfer the tickets back to them first!For all other tickets, just click the Refund link on your order in My Account on your computer or your mobile device (you won’t see the link in your app). If you purchased resale tickets, an upsell (i.e. parking), or paid a delivery fee for your tickets, please reply to this email and we will refund your entire order, including fees (except UPS if applicable) — it should post to your account in 7–10 business days.

    Got that email for both Baltimore and MSG. It is comforting to know that there is no outright cancellation. We will all get there, even if it is a bit later.

    Your reservation has been cancelled for your stay at Radisson Hotel Baltimore Downtown-Inner Harbor. Please find the details of the cancelled reservation below. We hope you stay with Radisson or at another Radisson Hotel Group hotel again soon.

    Urgh.

    Just...fucking...URGH.


    Was this a confirmation message, or did they just cancel it without you requesting? 
    I called.

    They knew what I was gonna ask for before I even got it out of my mouth.

    Also, the news about Amtrak is true.  Full refunds if you call up and speak to a live rep.

    Outside of the cost of the show ticket, which will get used eventually, this cancellation cost me nothing but abject misery.

    Hooray....or something.

    Hours of planning that lottery strategy.. verified fan.. general public onsale. Organizing plans and reservations

    And all that f5ing.

    So PJ canceled this and allegedly a 2015 euro tour. Other bands go 40 years without breaking up a tour.

    Is this just bad luck for PJ?

    Based on the March newsletter it seems the movie showings are still on. Who’s down for a NYC meetup the 25th to wallow together?

    Interesting. I guess when they reopen F2F there may be some nice tickets sitting there.

    I wonder when the F2F/refund tix will be released....probably when another show is announced?  Or who knows at this point!

    I don't want to be sitting on $500 in tickets I won't be using (have an extra pair for TO as well). There is no refund option on these (guessing because they were bought via F2F)
