Eddie Vedder fan to fan face value marketplace?

bbiggs

Platinum is bullshit.  So what happens when these boat loads of tickets that TM is still holding don't sell?  How low do they go?  Below the face value prices that everyone paid initially?  As a buyer of tickets you can always assume that risk exists, but it has been from other third party scalpers (i.e. sellers on Stubhub) and not the same shit bag company that sold you the ticket to begin with.  This process reeks and waiting to open the Fan to Fan exchange until the 11th hour (if at all) is adding insult to injury.  Lesson learned.  I'll wait to buy tickets until the week of the show if this process is the new norm for Pearl Jam.

Where have we heard about the fan to fan officially? Did it come from Ticketmaster at any time or only from 10c?

So it did come from TM. This is such a shady business tactic. I remain so relieved this tour skipped Boston.

Do you think TM realizes there are cheaper tickets available on stubhub (at least for Chicago)?  I don't know if they have an algorithm, or just a human randomly making price changes.  But few likely to buy their "platinum" when cheaper alternatives exist.

But if it came from TM at any time then it was at least at some point supposed to happen. I was considering that 10c had cut and pasted an old email for the announcement and missed an edit. It's happened before.

Been saying that same thing for weeks. Easily could have been a lazy cut and paste job from PJ announcement.

Ten club could at a minimum address it.  If they fucked up, then admit it. Or at-least go back and edit your initial post.  It is still up on ten club and TM that it will open in early 2022.  Has anyone heard back from either party on this?  I know I have not.

Respectfully disagree.  It goes hand in hand with non-transferability and was communicated both by TM and 10c, and furthermore there are the NY and IL exceptions.  At this point the only acceptable explanation would be a postponement and they didn’t want to create a new batch of transactions.

Guessing it’s a mix of them tracking frequency of people visiting the page to shop, data on locations (and quantity of tickets) that sell well, percentage of tickets in a section are sold out, etc. 

Last week they dropped a chunk of $525 Upper Box seats for both Chicago shows to $199. After they sold out a few days later it seems a few are back up again for $655.

I’m guessing any other random discounts to Platinum will happen this week and not the week before Chicago’s shows (when people are more likely to decide & buy last-second). Will be interesting to see if more tickets become available.

JimmyV

The $950 (before fees!) tickets for Chicago are surreal to see. 

chukdotcom

I think there are going to be some fire sales on places like Chicago the day before. I bet you can get in for less than 1/2 of face.

ddeschler

The cheapest tickets on stubhub are already less than 1/2 of what they were right after verified fan sale.

MakeUSmile

Just saw this on my timeline and thought maybe we had an announcement of sorts on the fan to fan.
nope. Just some front tickets to be won.

Ticketmaster won’t sell these tickets for nearly sold out shows for below face value. They could drop to face value online one day before or on the day of the concert. Otherwise they will just be added to the tickets sold at the box office on the day of the show.

Good to know. This process still reeks though.

You guys need to hold your ground.

don’t buy platinum tickets period.

The prices should drop closer to the dates. TM isn’t going to leave money out on the table when they realize no one’s is buying ridiculously over priced inflated tickets. 

McJuicy

has anyone emailed or received a response from 10c? as someone who wasn’t 100% committed to attending when tickets went on sale, i had planned to rely upon f2f exchange if able to attend, and now that i plan to attend, it’s extremely disappointing that f2f exchange has not launched

Patrick_Sea3

If I look at imagine dragons tickets at climate pledge they have both platinum and verified resale, which I assume is fan to fan.
