Fan-to-Fan Ticket Exchange for Dummies

I've recieved two emails for Toronto (one from TM, one from TicketsToday), one for Nashville (TicketsToday), as well as one for Baltimore. Toronto and Nashville I got 10C tickets for, and didn't buy any through F2F. Baltimore, I have two separate F2F sets. I also bought 2 pairs of tickets to StL through F2F (sold one), but haven't received an e-mail. I'm keeping all of the tickets, at least until the shows are announced, so I'm not worried, it's just weird.

Definitely weird, especially having to reply to the email to get a refund for F2F tickets. I'd be concerned they'd cancel the wrong order. Seems safer to just put them back on F2F when it reopens.

Yeah, if there are shows I can't go to, I'm definitely going the F2F route. I'm hopeful that the dates work out, though. I should be able to get to Baltimore regardless. The others... I'll find a way to make it work, even if we don't get to spend as long in Toronto or Nashville/St Louis as we'd like.

Any ticket drops today? Is anyone looking anymore?

didnt see any. got to admit I put in about 2 hours....which at this point can do with my eyes closed

Couldn’t resist..  maybe if you opened your eyes you would have seen the drops. 😉 

Not to bring down the light-hearted ness of this thread but....I’m definitely missing the fun stress of f5ing and anticipating the shows.  This real stress I’m living is no fun at all.  A parent at my kids’ school is hospitalized and very sick with covid-19.  All of the schools in our town were closed 1 day for cleaning (yesterday).  The info we are given is limited (understandably).  We don’t know how many kids the family has or even which of the 6 schools in our town they go to.  The family is quarantined for 2 weeks and I “heard” that all of the rest of the family is negative.  It’s scary.  I just sent my 2 younger kids off to school.  My college kid has all classes cancelled today and will be doing only online and video conferencing until April. Neighbors are checking each other out to see who might be sick.  I’m really worried about the sick parent who is exactly my age.  As I’ve mentioned I work in healthcare with almost all elderly patients in their homes.  They are (understandably) scared to let anyone come in to their homes.  Everyone is suddenly suspicious/scared of everyone else.  We are the caretakers for my husbands elderly parents who live with us.  Over the years, they catch every cold virus that the kids bring home.  We told them they can’t kiss their grandchildren for now.  

Thought and prayers with all of you. 🙏🏻

I want to give a big shout out to @mpedone and @sp1984 for graciously hanging with me until rescheduled dates are announced! Your kindness will be remembered     !

Haaaa!! I knew I was doing something wrong😑

Happy to still see new posts in here!

For those with F5 withdrawals, instead of F5'n TM - trying F5'n a live COVID-19 map:
https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 

Aside from the obvious aspects of all this to be disappointed about, I was looking forward to being at the tour opener in TO (was at final show of 2016 tour in TO), kinda going in blind with expectations would have been neat. Also kinda liked that I'd have 3 shows before Gigaton came out and perhaps being among first to hear a few tunes. 

Ah well....we'll get there....eventually.

Good morning my friends...I just need to say hi 👋👋👋👋🤪🤪🤪

Hi!!! morning!!

Anyone else sell tickets on the fan to fan exchange?  Ticketmaster is ruining that experience completely!  Sold two on March 1st and still haven't been paid by ticketmaster.  Apparently, selling tickets for a Canadian show when you live in the u.s.a. is not something ticketmaster ever thought would happen!?  They want my home address so they can send me a check?  O.M.G.

Without this thread it never would have occurred to me to even attempt such an endeavor

This is why we have to keep it going. Some of the other threads are becoming a bit toxic. We have gone over 300 pages with nothing but respect for each other. 

The thread has made me a nicer person lol... usually a much bigger wise ass🤣

You and me both. My coworkers told me I have been less of an asshole since this all started.

Yep, no complaints. Direct deposit a week after sale. You'll get your money soon, what's the big deal?

Erpster

The big deal is ticketmaster requires a Canadian bank account to direct deposit proceeds from a Canadian show ticket sale.  I do not have a Canadian bank account because I live in ny.

I was the same way.

I think it has snapped back 2X since this all got postponed though, and I am in ULTRA dickface mood.

"What do you want?  Great.  Here.  Leave."

I am not good with dealing with disappointment in life.

P.S. How do you mention someone in a comment so that their username is highlighted (or whatever the technological term is !) ? Do you just put  @________ ?

Yes, this is my Lesson #2 of Using Social Media - Functions for Commenting. Please cut me some slack... I'm old, passed typing in high school with a D, and learned on computers back in the late 1990's!!! I've progressed some, but have a long way to go... I guess this is a different discussion!
Please forgive me

With all the potential tix being returned for refunds, I am excited for the next round of F5'ing when the tour is rescheduled.

Hahaha, I haven't been to my office since the postponement. I'm sure my office will have similar decorations as yours did HAHA

LaFleur

I'm holding all my tickets and not looking for refund, but does anyone actually see the option in their TM account?  I got separate emails from TM and Ticketstoday (Ticketstoday for the 10c seats), Ticketstoday refund by reply to that email. TM indicates to check "My Account" for refund - but I don't have that option, though I don't have any "standard" tickets in my account anymore (sold on F2F). The F2F tix I did buy - I don't see any means of refund....anyone else? I don't know why I care, just curious I guess. 

Also - I still have option to sell. If when F2F is available to buy again, could be large inventory released at once? Has anyone actually listed on F2F yesterday or today?

You got it. Just throw the @ in front of user name and done.

Thanks @Imckenney24! I believe you answered my question from Lesson #1 also! You're so cool !!!

But you're getting a check for the full amount of the sale. Again, why is this a problem?
