Like 5 minutes ago? Lol 

yup -gone already

Note the title of the thread--"about to release," not "already gone."

Just kidding, I'm bitter because I lost lol. You provided the F5ers some excitement this morning and an awesome opportunity.

It's great that people are using this but if possible it would be great to give others at least 15 mins notice or an hour even. Many of the shows sell as soon as you list it.

Totally agree with this.  It is really great that people are using this and posting about tickets they are releasing but if you post that you just listed tickets, they will most likely be gone by the time anyone reads the post.  A 15 minute (at least) notice would be helpful.

If you’re looking to coordinate it has to be in the dead of night. Otherwise regardless of how much notice it’s luck of the draw.

I'm totally aware of that and even coordinating in the dead of night has proven to not always work.  The idea of this thread is to provide notice when you are "about" to release tickets so that a potential buyer can be made aware and at least take a shot.  Ultimately though, as you say, it is going to come down to the luck of the TM draw.

Some advice:
- Keep up to speed with the F2F for Dummies thread and this one
- Use the Ticketmaster app on your phone if you got good wifi
- Keep this thread clear for people to post tickets, otherwise every update will cause someone to scan through non-ticket posts
- Usually when someone posts their tickets on F2F there is a 2-5 minute delay

Pair of St Louis in 110 will be posted at 9:00am central time

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.
