What’s the deal with Chicago ticket transferability?

Is there some law in Illinois that prohibits putting restrictions on transferring concert tickets?

I think I recall NY having the same rule but I’m pretty sure iMSG was still limited to F2F transfers last tour.  

Thanks in advance.

    Ten Club does not allow these tickets to be transferred at all shows. In Illinois you can RESELL FOR MORE THAN FACE... but all others are resell at face only though the Fan 2 Fan

    Sadly, this hurts Chicago-based fans because people will abuse the market where they can (like they do for MSG shows). 

    Crossing my fingers I don’t get shut out.

    In Illinois
    1) 10C tickets for face value only, per 10C policy.
    2) Other tickets for whatever you can get, per the people who make the laws.
    3) PJ Premium for.... IDK.

    Other shows this tour:
    1) 10C tickets for face value only via Fan2Fan.
    2) Other tickets for face value only via Fan2Fan.
    3) PJ Premium for whatever the hell those go for...don't freak and buy these. If you buy an $850 ticket and can't go, you're stick with an $850 ticket.

    The legislators make the laws and we know who they remember when it comes time for them to make the laws... certainly not us regular jabronis.

    Yeah...I was concerned when they threw out that big Illinois warning, that it would tempt some people not going to this tour to buy Chicago tickets to resell. We'll see I guess.

    I think that the shows are on Tuesday and Thursday will help limit the shenanigans. Those are about the 2 most inconvenient days of the week to do a 2 day run in a city that you can come up with.

    As far as I know, doing that can still get your membership revoked? Unless it conficts with the law...I dont know. Hopefully people dont try it.

    10C will revoke your membership if they catch 10C tix being resold at > face value. Don't try it unless you don't care about membership seniority.
