Since the inception of Fan 2 Fan, do you put in for more shows?

Before F2F, I would only put in for a select number of shows based on location, budget etc. I've been shut out more than a few times.

Now with F2F I find myself entering more since I know I can generally sell them back/transfer, and as a backup.

With all the talk of seniority and seats getting worse (for some)......this has to factor in right?

    Same #. I'd rather spend only on the shows I plan on going to. I simply don't have funds to put in for more and wait until end of September (at best) for the money back.

    I still just apply for the shows that I plan to go to.  If my calendar frees me up for more shows later on, then I go the F2F route.

    If they had a bigger tour I might do more. If I thought there was a 50/50 chance of going I might put in. But out of the 9 shows, most I know I have no chance of attending based on mid-week, location or both. 

    Now give me 2 or 3 shows within a 5 hour drive and I might do it.

    I put in for three this time around with no expectation of hitting my third pick, but the show was in Illinois so F2F wasn't a factor.

    I put in for the 3 shows that I realistically could make it to based on location and day of the week. It ended up being both Chicago shows and Indy.

    Hometown shows in Chicago are the same, but if I want to travel I can wait it out and see what good seats pop up to reconsider adding/traveling to another show. Did it last year when thinking of heading to St Louis, same this year with adding St Paul. That way others have a better chance of getting closer if I'm non-committal.

    Only usually do 1show these days! Maybe next year if they do Maine Vermont and New Hampshire specially if they do a couple of weekends I’d be down for a great weekend!

    In hindsight, given the lack of a GA-only option, I should have put in for less, since I could probably get better seats on F2F. I put in for more, to have a backup in case I didn't get my top choices, but not expecting that I would get upper deck seats for multiple shows. Now I'm hoping I can sell them on F2F, but I wouldn't say I requested more because I expected to be able to sell them back on F2F. Last tour many people got stuck with unsellable tickets for California

    Free cancelation hotels is a totally different story 😂

    The covid situation definitely factored into resale last tour. I definitely know people that ate tix to some shows. Definitely risk, but for the most part its mitigated IMO.

    Same. I'm not interested in fronting money for extra shows for 5 months, nor making more work for my taxes.
