Face Value Ticket Exchange (F2F)

PJammin

It gives me a glimmer of hope seeing there are 36 tickets sitting there in the pavillion for indy.

And a new batch of Indy premium up. Surprisingly affordable 

such a racket... they can underprice the "face value" ones that are sitting there at $800+ to make theirs look good by comparison while the folks that impulsed bought them at higher prices will never be able to lower their selling price to compete.

AND TM has already collected on the sale of the higher priced tickets that are sitting there so they couldn't care less if they get resold on f2f.

as SHZA pointed out to me the other day, the band implements f2f, which serves the purpose of not being able to change ticket prices. no doubt that it sucks people probably won't be able to unload these seats. but on the flip side, it leaves people without having to go 3rd party and spend 3x what a ticket is worth at face value. pros and cons I guess

It would be nice if they gave the option to lower them.

They don't give that option, definite flaw in my opinion, but face is face I guess in their eyes.  What I saw some people doing last tour that got stuck in that situation was working deals on the side to recover some of their money with people. Basically saying "hey, if you buy my ticket on TM for $800, I'll Venmo you $600 so you end up only paying $200 for the ticket, and I'm only out $600 instead of the full $800".  Complicated obviously, but I saw it happen.

Sucks it has to be this way, especially since TM has already been paid in full by the original purchaser. They shouldn’t have control over what someone does once they purchase it

Im sure TM worries that premium resales will undermine their premium inventory. Yes they have the first persons money, they want more new money.. not resale they does not benefit TM. 

I am frankly surprised they have left the high price F2F up and taken down their own premium.  The conspiracy theorist in my would expect the opposite.  

What was taken down? I’m still seeing many premium 

Indy premiums - unless they were all purchased which is doubtful.  

they were bought.. 

Nope

There were C’s the other day and there are C’s now.

There’s no way they sold out their previous offer at close to $1k per seat.

The C are still close to $1k per seat. I recall the last 2 premiums that were available were in C row Y. These are rows T and W. I don't recall those section Gs that are up now but can't say for sure.

Someone bought my E row Os for $914 within about a day of listing. Wouldn't surprise me if lower tickets sold out at 1k. We're in an age that Taylor swift obstructed view nosebleeds in the last row of a football stadium are selling for $2k

Ha...whoever bought that first pair in Sec G Row H has already relisted them on F2F (SEC G Row H seat 7-8)

some people have enough disposable income and don't mind paying that much to get what they want. I was shocked to see how many premiums have been sold for Chicago and indy

Total price is 580$ either way. Ticketmaster isn’t posting fees until you check out

TM is not putting fees in until you cart them. Fan to fan has them included.

Someone bought on accident and relisted for resale. 580 includes the fees

Probably isn’t the right thread for this question, but does anyone know yet where the outdoor merch trailer will be at the United Center and when it opens?

You are correct. They were $505 premium and now 580 F2F. I'm guessing the additional $75 is the fees but those were definitely just purchased and must've quickly regretted the purchase and put them back up for sale on F2F.
