The point is, this is a nightmare for a fan. Id rather scalp. I'm out of Baltimore, i'm not refreshing for 40 days AND playing this reverify game every so many refreshes.

Congrats, made it entirely worse for the actual fan.

That's dumb. I got shut out as well, but I'm happy to know that nobody is making crazy profit on these tix. Still got a month to go and I'm not at all worried about getting tix. 

Thats dumb. You'd rather not go than some unknown entity make a profit to provide a service? Let capitalism be. Fucking with it makes it worse.

Essentially, yes. I'd rather know that the room is full of fans than have the option to give some random asshole $1k for a $100 ticket. I never buy from scalpers and never seem to have a problem getting into sold out shows. 

Im sure thats great...cant do that on the east coast, certainly not tri-state area. You pay the scalpers or dont go.

I'm in DC. Works great in DC, Balt, NYC, Philly, Boston, etc... You just have to be patient. 

In the past yes. I dont see how I get in now.

The theoretical answer is: the same as you used to, which is by checking in on the G2F forum and looking for another member who wants to sell or needs a buddy. But practically it looks like that will be tough as well, since the whole forum is full of ISO MSG/Balt threads. Which points to the real issue: it’s not the transfer restrictions that are causing all of this frustration, it’s the 35K combined tickets available for the two east coast shows. 

But we all remember how every other tour, we were able to trade, and get each other in right?

How is that not better? I mean this just destroys "following" the band. Which is too bad.

Except for all of the actual fans who got tickets in the lottery. 

Except for the large amount more than usual 10c fans who got tickets in the lottery*

I know what's going to happen. I'm going to see a pair, speed race through through the process without looking at everything, successfully buy the pair.....then realize I just spent 9k on the Vitalogy's.

Haaaaa. And it looks like Vitalogy tickets arent available for F2F sale. So you’ll be stuck with them! Be careful

This entire thing is a shit show and something is going on. Either Ticketmaster is so incompetent or they are trying to stick it to Pearl Jam fans so we get frustrated and not want this system. 

Or there’s way more fans trying to get tickets than there are tickets available. 

I am trying to sell my tickets. They were up for a second then disappeared never to be seen again. Cancelled my listing and have been in pending cancelled for over 12 hours now with no access to my tickets. 

It's funny that Pearl Jam takes the time to write some senators a letter but they can't take 5 seconds to send someone on here to explain a few things and just say hey we've been in contact with Ticketmaster some glitches are going down hang tight they are working on it. 

Radio silence unless of course you violate a board rule. 

If your're going to change a system that's fine but own that shit from start to finish. Don't just toss a Molotov cocktail into the building, pat yourself on the back and walk away. 

I had a problem yesterday with a listing....it said listed but they weren't on map. Chatted with TM rep and they fixed it. Try chatting with TM online instead of whining and stop expecting 10C or PJ to intervene in this process. It's happening through TM and that's that. Like it or not. 

You mean the company who's only job on this planet is to sell tickets and they can't even get this right without me having to call or wait on a chat to make sure they do their job. 

computer glitches happen and people fix it....I bet you are PERFECT at your job and NOTHING ever glitches or goes sideways?

How do I get Baltimore tickets form a fan who cant go last minute on the board? I cant. How can I buy from a 3rd party...I cant?

How CAN I in any way I used to?

It seems different now. Way more 0-2 post people asking for tickets. Plus for the first time ever I’ve been approached by members here and on Facebook looking for higher than face value, and acting like they’re doing me a favor because it’s slightly cheaper than stubhub. Then there’s situation like @stickmanhockey, who post tickets saying fir face value, then sells them under the table to the highest bidder right on the site, and avoiding stubhub fees. It just seems harder than ever. But I’m still hopeful I’ll find the right seller here for msg. As many bad people there are lurking here, there’s way more good still , luckily.

How do Canadians sell us shows on fan to fan?  asking for a friend.

Ha Looks like issues with TM asking for a Canadian checking account...so people can't list if they don't have one. This might only be related to the type of payment you used since there are tickets going up...but others not able to.  FYI.. if I manage to get a single GA for Toronto and/or Ottawa I will be selling some.

I hear you. My contention is that the difference is largely driven by the relatively small number of total tickets available, rather than the transferability of the tickets. And the reason I’m confident of that is because we have a real-time A/B experiment happening in front of our eyes. MSG is fully transferable, Bmore not. Both seem to be causing about equal frustration.

@PJNB

I think its as simple as I do not have a USD checking account so they will not let me sell tickets that are in USD and reverse for Americans that are trying to sell shows in Canada.

Very true. I’m trying to stay positive. The money I spent on VF Baltimore tickets was well worth it. Charity plus eliminating 50% of my stress for tickets. I can’t wait to secure msg tickets

So my wife has two Ottawa tix on the floor, so I'd like to buy 2 on the wings if they pop up. We are in the U.S. though, so you're saying that she won't be able to sell her Ottawa tix since we are in the U.S?
