Zod said:I'm a sucker. Because my wife's account was verified, I was also able to into night 1 in seattle. I couldn't buy more verified tickets, but I did buy some platinum tickets. The most I have ever paid for tickets in my entire life.Still.. I haven't bought concert tickets in 2 years. Plus the tickets for night 2 being all the way at the back were cheaper than I was expecting. Night 1 is on the main level.I really hope Covid doesn't cause issues with crossing the land border. Fingers crossed.0

I got kicked out of my card after hitting pay like ten times. By the time I was back there were bullshit $600++ tickets. No thanks. I thought about it for a minute and can afford it but it fucking offends me.Anyone have an extra Seattle? Lmfao.If I knew where it was, I would take you there....there's much more than this.

I think it's automated. Platinum tickets use algorithms to determine the demand for the tickets and try to price accordingly.
In essence there's usually a gap between a ticket price and what a broker/scalper can sell it for. That's because many artists sell their tickets below cost value. Platinum basically tries to close this cap and earn what would normally go to a scalper/broker.
In this case though, with 10c and verified fan tickets only, and no transferring, you would think scalping would be minimal.

So I signed up for Verified fan and did not get a code.
Now I can see Platinum tix for Seattle and the prices are a bit steep. Seattle 2 is showing tix from $510 - $990 for platinum pricing. I also see a few seats that are locked out to a code.
So does Verified fan mean you get first crack an steep ticket prices that go directly to ticketmaster now??? Had a friend that was looking without verified fan and they can't see any tix yet.
I did get a nice warning on the almost $2200 ticket cart that if I sold these I could only see them at face value. That is kind of funny.Raleigh, NC 8-18-92

to answer your question verified fan is basically a public onsale, except they filter who can buy tickets. You sign up for it..they view your transaction history on TM, algorithm's try and determine if your the kind of person who would use their ticket, and along with finite tickets, they send out codes to people to buy tickets at the sale time. In it's essence verified fan is basically a vetted public on sale. It's trying to keep people who just opened a new TM account or who frequently resell their tickets from being able to buy. it's not perfect, but I guess it sort of works.

i was just pointing out after the uproar over high face value prices for this tour, to me the fact that Platinum pricing was agreed to is far worse. It’s ironic over his stand against Ticketmaster 25 years ago, that Vedder is now allowing his own tickets to be scalped officially.0 -

I’ll also be interested to see what happens to the ticket prices if rescheduled PJ dates are announced prior to these shows. My guess is not much, but it’s possible that demand could go down if people decide they’d rather try to catch Pearl Jam at the Garden.DC '03 - Reading '04 - Philly '05 - Camden 1 '06 - DC '06 - E.

However, Its normal for the venue, promoter, and TM to take their share of tix. Then we know those tix often go straight to resale. Some bands even do that with their allottment. Whether they maximize value via platinum prices or resale of those tickets. They are going to weasal the $ one way or another. Platinum being an option very well may have been the concession for not allowing transfer or resale as well.Now consider this. Live Nation and TM are the same company. In a lot of cases they are the venue, promoter, and the distributor…
It isn't hard for them to flex their power and essentially make it impossible to tour.
Option 1: We get X number of tickets and can resell
Option 2: We get y number of tickets, no resell, but have platinum pricing
Option 3: Find another venue or ticket distribution optionPost edited by Eddieredder on0 -
