Face Value Ticket Exchange (F2F)

PJammin

Have a pair for Chi N2 in section 119 that I'll drop this morning at 8:30CST. These are rear/side but still potentially an upgrade for someone. 

Kwieneke

Hoping for more Chicago action today. Both nights

How come Face Value Exchange on Ticketmaster seats are many hundreds of dollars?  

Was going to see if I could get 1 PIT ticket to Chicago N1.

So... :sips whiskey:

That's because of PJ Premium (aka Official Platinum). If you, or anyone else bought a PJ Premium ticket (surge priced, based on clicks/popularity & seat location), you can ONLY resell it for what you paid for it.

Some of those tickets sold for $900-$1k, and now those buyers are stuck only being able to sell them for what they paid on Ticketmaster (or taking a hit on a 3rd party site like SH, SG, or insert nefarious site here). And that's just for Chicago, Illinois tix. 

Welcome to the party, pal.

Thanks! what's your whiskey of choice?

So did all those tickets listed as PJ Premium not go to tenclub members (there's rows after rows of them)? It would be pretty shitty if that's why 10C members were further back. I don't forum a ton, so I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir.

I figured GA was a long shot, but figured I'd look.

10C are further back due to more 10C tickets per show given out now as well as the shitty Premium tickets 

☝️
And every week it feels like, a new row of Premiums comes out, and my first thought is always "Yeah, that should've gone to some 10 clubbers."

On the bright side, the ones that don't sell? (blue dots only) they'll revert to Standard pricing on the day of show. Risky, but has potential!

I upgraded my LA night 1's thar way last year!

Yep.... all those rows in StPaul of blue dots will start dropping... stay tuned

I was hoping that would happen for Austin, but they all eventually disappeared. It took several weeks but they either sold or TM gradually started pulling them.

Dont forget, day of for first show of city pair, early afternoon they will drop tickets. Added tickets to the floor near sound mix always happens, some rear floor could happen, sides that venue marked as possible obstruction. ( Once the stage is setup and they know all the site lines and space on the floor,) Look at the map for moody compared to pics of past shows. I see 15 rows in middle floor compared to 9 as the map shows now..

Were you able to sell the LA night one's that you had?

SHZA

These shows have had more demand than LA. It was pretty obvious early on that there were many LA tickets available at regular price that would never sell.

Better to compare to STL and NAS from 22, those day of tickets would still show up and sell in seconds.. I would compare LA shows in 2022 to STP shows this year.. 

JojoRice

Agreed.  I had a lower level pair of LA tickets that went unsold last year.

This is what i'm hoping for. I'll be there with side stage in hand checking all weekend. If I can score a good upgrade the day of and have to eat my current sides, I won't even care at this point.

Nice, I may have bought these from you off Ticketmaster.  Bought a single for SP1 and SP2, same section same row both nights. If so, thank you!

These are already on Seat Geek. Brutal

how are they available on seat geek? can't they only be resold for purchase price through TM?

People are creating extra TM accounts, and either selling tix & sending access to the account so the buyer can "wallet" them, or selling the WHOLE account. Brutal, shitty.

Bingo

That sucks. Considering I bought 101 Row 17 for each night off of Ticketmaster, should I be concerned that someone could use my ticket before I get in via Apple Wallet?

No

Tickets are not available yet to put in your wallet. On top of that when you buy tickets on TM they are actually your tickets and the seller does not have access to them anymore.

No, the tickets once released to you, they are yours. TM will not release the tickets until 3 days ( 72 hours) from show time. At that point tickets in your account you can move them to your wallet.

Those weren't resale. They dropped the entire row for both nights yesterday morning.

I was! They were very good lower 100's. Being aisle seats helped😅

Sounds about right. And I would compare Chicago 2023 to MSG 2016. Tough! But obtainable.

SHZA

MSG was much tougher though due to only one night and no F2F option. Everything on stubhub was off the charts. Having face value opportunities for Chicago is a game changer.

I thought id be able to pick up something decent for Chicago 2, but I never even see anything good refreshing all day long.
