    I have a confession to make. Yesterday afternoon, I got really drunk. And when some Standing Room Only tickets popped up for St Louis, I immediately grabbed them thinking they were Pit. They are not Pit. They are literally the worst tickets you can get...rear stage, upper deck, no seats. I had been wise enough to avoid making this mistake in the past. But in my inebriated state, they got me. In my defense, it can be confusing. When they pop up, they just say Standing Room Only with no other section info listed (these were 331BPV). Thankfully, I was already able to resell them to some other poor sap who probably made the same mistake that I did. But I post this as a warning to any of you who are still on the hunt for St Louis Pit.
    On the plus side, I get 5% cash back on concert ticket purchases with my credit card. So I actually made $12 off my little faux pas.  :D
    You can keep buying and selling your seats to yourself and make $12. Do it a million times and you make $12mil...
    There seems to be a $3 order processing fee on fan to fan.  Not sure how that works considering there aren’t supposed to be fees on that but there are.  So that might eat into the margin… 
    All my receipts so far indicate that I'll be paid out exactly what I paid originally. Perhaps only certain venues?

    That's right. But the buyer is paying an extra $3 that ticketmaster keeps. If that person sells they will get paid $3 more than the original seller, etc. So if the same pair was bought and sold 1,000 times, the price would be over $3,000. 

    Due to the escalating price, your card would be maxed way before the millionth resale but you'd still rack up plenty of points before that happened

    Just posting this here too in case anyone is thinking of putting up some Oakland tickets:
    I have 2 pairs on opposite sides of the stage for both nights at Oakland, and I’m trying to get 4 closer together for both nights if possible.
    Here are my seat locations…
    Night 1:
    115, Row 5, Seats 7&8
    128, Row 5, Seats 1&2
    Night 2:
    115, Row 1, Seats 13&14
    128, Row 1, Seats 15&16
    If you’re a near neighbor to any of those and wouldn’t mind swapping to the other side of the stage, please hit me up. Thanks. 🙂
      For Oakland 1 I have 2 GA and 2 in section 101 row 4 (aisle seats).   If either interest you in a trade let me know!
  • My wife and I had an extra pair in the pit for Sacramento, posted them on the fan to fan and 6 minutes later they were sold. That was easy. 
    Stunned by my own reflection, it's looking back sees me too clearly and I swore I'd never go there again. Not unlike a friend that politely drags you down.

    I got shortchanged $26 on my Vegas GA pair. Paid $305 (10C lottery) and TM says I’ll get $279.

    We can debate what early 2022 meant and what spring meant, but that Ticketmaster wasn't going to be charging fees on fan to fan was clearly stated.

    Yep. 10c made that clear: "For fans that cannot use tickets they have purchased, Pearl Jam and Ticketmaster will offer a Fan-to-Fan Face Value Ticket Exchange beginning this Spring. There will be no additional fees charged to Exchange users for buying or selling tickets on the Exchange."

    Apparently the order processing fee is not a fee for buying tickets.  M-hm.

    I haven't used it but i don't like that wording. Perhaps there are no additional fees for buying and selling on the Exchange. Didn't say anything about the fees on the initial purchases.

    Yup. It’s supposed to be a 24-hour block. I’ve been blocked all week and I’ve barely been on TM since I’m not looking for tickets. It’s ridiculous that real fans get blocked for looking for tickets. 
    I can Login today so I guess they really thought I was a Bot.

    Blocked for a Week! That is ridiculous.

    I think it’s a ghost ticket.  Been erroring out all week.  I guess I’ll have to keep my GA.
