    Looking for a St. Louis single. Dm me if you have one.
    Sorry I forgot to reply! I'm looking for a single too. If I find a decent pair I'll let you know.

    I don't understand why people just release their tickets like this. These could end up in the hands of scalpers. Why not at least give some advance notuce or try to coordinate with someone that is looking so we can try for them???  What good does it do to announce that you just posted some really good tickets? by the time we get to read your message they are already gone!!!

    These tickets can't be scalped.......they can only be sold on the F2F site. Another fan got them.

     That is not correct...scalpers are selling ticketmaster account logins with the tickets in the account

    There's a pair of GA B'more on ebay for $3,600, so theoretically they could be scalped

    My Guess is TM could figure out accounts are fake and close them down and recirculate the tickets.. BUT ... Somehow i doubt it.. why I think that if you have tickets to a show you cant attend and you trust someone with your login that will work fine

    That would be cool. and doable, I had some thoughts on how to do it, but I don't think TM cares that much.

    Yes that could happen. Anyone that bought tickets that way is an idiot since the owner of the account could always lock them out and resell. There is one pair on ebay, but considering there are like 13,000 tickets I'd say that's it most likely it's not happening

    There are hundreds of tickets for the tour listed on ebay and various resale sites. If the owner of the account locks you out, they wouldn't get paid.

    Don't be so naive. It is happening, a lot.  I messaged a seller on eBay and they would give me access to the email account too.  I am tempted to buy some on eBay and get the account info and then after the show request a refund through pay pal since pay pal seller protection does not cover digital items.  If you read some of these listings on eBay the smart sellers are telling you they will mail you the log in info so they have mailed you a physical item and then they have tracking info to get around this.

    I guess I don't feel like I'm being naive, maybe I just don't care enough. I know who got those GA tickets so I guess that's why I don't feel the same as you. Scalpers will always find a why to do what they need to do. I'll say that I feel like less are being scalped this way then they would have been otherwise. Good luck on your search

    I wonder if TM could limit one account per phone number.. And phone number verification needed. It says your phone is your ticket shouldn't it tie to the number not the email?  When the tickets become active you get a txt to verify. Scalpers wont have 100s of numbers right ?

    I'll be the smart ass....TM does. Very decent singles in 100 level (some not far apart) and plenty of pairs higher up - good 200 for eg.

    No worries jb....there are three of us and I'm trying to find a nice pair plus I can scrounge a single somewhere.  After spending weeks trying to get MSG tix, I will be happy to see a show.  :>)

    If were me - i'd grab 3 now in 215 (first row of the section) available now, and keep hunting the F2F for an upgrade. I suppose risk wouldn't be able to resell with low demand there; i guess depends how much that matters to you.

    If you don't have the extra cash, or are afraid you won't be able to re-sell if you do find an upgrade... just wait it out. Plenty of tickets for Quebec still and there is a lot of people trying to re-sell (loads of tickets got posted yesterday and are still there)

  • Pats16Pats16 Posts: 199
    After contemplating dropping four digits for MSG, the thought of only paying 2x for great seats is definitely doable!!  Agreed, tons of seats now and I guess I'm being a little greedy. :>)

    Just posted 2 awesome Toronto and 2 awesome Quebec seats. 

    I’m crushed. Work restrictions on travel due to Coronavirus caused me to have to give them up. Had been looking forward to this immeasurably.
