Was in the lottery,

I don't care to join clubs, made a mistake joining this one - you have deepened my philosophy on club mentality

not out there does not make me go hmm because you went hmm about me not caring what you think about me not being out there

was the 2nd person in queue at 10am

I was ripped off, now selling all 4 tickets don't care to be surrounded by Ten Club members

There is no queue for Ten Club tickets, it's a lottery.  This was TicketMaster.

And I have more bad news for you...unless your tickets are for the NY or Denver shows, you can't sell them because they are non-transferable. All you can do is wait for Fan-to-Fan to open and throw them back into the pot and hope someone buys them.

This entire ticket thing this time around is like people never bought tickets for anything and have no clue how any of this works

reading is fundamental 

Yeah. I get that it's complicated, but all the info was there in the original email. Honestly, if you tried for the new shows (other than Camden) and entered the actual 10C lottery, the odds had to be very high. People don't read and then look for anyone to blame. 10C is the easy target.

10c lottery for any of the already sold out shows was a complete crap shoot. The garden. Forget about it. Everyone who got 10C tix for that know the pain it is. Ya got em. Ya hold ‘em.   I mean I’m think maybe 2-3000 tickets were available for most shows. 

What people also don’t understand that bands are trying to do shorter tours. Shorter the tour less likely they have Covid issues that still do exist. The touring market is a mess.  You have to cancel a show it ain’t easy to get the room back

Agreed.  Honestly, I'd rather deal with F2F than VF.

Yah I think if people realized verified fan is just the public onsale, but a different way of doing it, it would make more sense.  Maybe TM should rebrand the name... lol.

Do people not buy tickets to other acts through ticketmaster?

And why do people only take advantage of the forums AFTER their confusion cost them tix? They obviously have access but only choose to use it to complain rather than get help? It makes no sense…

They want it to feel exclusive.  Creates hype/demand/panic...that's how you sell nosebleeds at full price and good seats at "platinum" prices.

Pearl Jam isn’t just any act! People have their right to tickets cause they have a sister who’s brothers wife’s cousin is stone’s dog Walker

Oh and I was an intern at Epic records in 91 so I should have a black card for everything Pearl Jam for life and I don’t damn it!

It truly seems like some fan out there could make $$$ creating a single YouTube video explaining the process.

I just bought my tickets and feel like I got ripped off and the concert probably won't be worth the $1500 I spent on 4 tickets.

If you want 3 of them I will sell them for $1500 cash.

So the bottom line is you're trying to scalp 3 of your tickets so yours is free?

pjl44

Can you imagine buying those and having that in your ear all night?

This all seems totally on the up and up

See my first post to this one  there is another thread that opened from someone that today is their first post. 

Feeling like an article on consequence of sound coming about tickets and “fan anger”

ddeschler

Maybe, just maybe...hear me out...Pearl Jam did all this to gain social popularity in the celebrity media.  What is the celebrity media?
