    Good lord - can they at least turn on F2F for the completely sold out shows?
    it makes better sense to turn it on now, let the churn go and it will die out making people who didnt get any to bite the bullet and go premium... Or that is why they turned it on for day, make people think all the F2F are sold.. 
    I could never see TM manipulating the marketplace to increase their profit.

    I know its expected from this complete shit company, but turning it off and not giving any guidance about when it will be back on again is pretty low even for them. If I was a seller, i'd be even more irritated.

    I cant believe it is still down.  Anyone else see it up at all for F2F tonight?
    No. I'm pretty sure they intentionally took it down until they unload more inventory. I was actually surprised it started as early as it did. When they said May, I didn't expect to see anything until the end of the month.
    Totally agree. I was shocked to see it on so early.

    I'm irritated with myself for being lazy. When I upgraded Monday, I meant to list my floor seats. But then I was like, "Eh, I'll just do it in the morning. Same difference."

    I just want some damn tickets for Saint Paul, but stalking Ticketmaster is miserable.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    The TM/Livenation $25 all in sale can lead to some good finds. We did the Outlaw Music Festival last year (Willie Nelson/Billy Strings/Avett Bros) and it was well worth the price.

    And if you think I'm not eyeing Yacht Rock Revue this morning then you don't know me at all.

    But there are no tickets available. Another LN/TM screwup.

    I saw some earlier. Is it down? Probably varies between show and venue. (Or it's another shit show. 50/50)

    Here's the response I got from TM about 12 hours after I chatted with them (they said I'd receive a reply within 4 hours):
    "I see that you are trying to sell your tickets. 
    Please be informed that not all events or tickets are available for resale. If the button doesn’t appear, is grayed out or you receive a message that the Event Organizer hasn’t activated resale, your tickets aren’t eligible for resale.
    You may check your Ticketmaster account from time to time as any changes may be posted in your event details."

    Yeah, last year I had some good finds. Black Crowes, Band of Horses & Black Keys, Avett Brothers...

    Haven't checked out the offerings this year yet.

    This
    Much of what we perceive to be mistakes by these corporate giants are in fact very calculated decisions. They turned on F2F, which created a buzz. They turned off F2F, which created a false sense of scarcity. They then added additional, overpriced PJ Premium seats because the masses have to have their seats NOW! This was all very intentional and designed to manipulate consumer psyche and maximize profits.

    Don't fall for their trap! Patience and persistence will get you great, face value seats for whatever show(s) you desire. Friends don't let friends buy PJ Premium.

    I checked a bunch of shows, not a single one.
    Just grabbed tickets for Beck, Smashing Pumpkins, Gov't Mule/Avett Brothers, Incubus, Outlaw Music Fest, and Matchbox 20, all at the same venue. Took some trying, but I got reserved aisle seats for all but two shows.

    Lol. I think that's why I bought so many. 2 of those, I'm not even really all that interested. But I just bought 6 shows for less than the cost of 1 PJ show.  =)

    Same thing for me. I logged in right when tickets went on sale. Checked 6 shows in Vancouver and none had $25 seats. Kept checking back throughout the morning to be sure and nothing. Bogus.
    I think I've gotten emails from half the venues in the US this morning, each one containing a link which lists what shows would have availability. Did you get any of those?
    Also, there were presales for the $25 deal. So, if it's a popular band in a larger market, it's possible the amount of tickets they allotted for this deal had already run out. Trust me, $25 tickets for most of these shows won't last all week.

    Seems like it is still shut down.  Been monitoring it for days and never saw a single ticket since the first rush.

    Ditto. The one afternoon I wasn't checking is when it was active...
