Looks like TM just dropped a bunch of premiums for Fort Worth N2 in section 106. I don't recall them being there yesterday. I wonder how many more tickets they are holding back.

many held back.. dont be surprised if they cut off the F2F again 

This is the thing to remember for anyone holding onto tickets they plan to sell. F2F can go up and down at Ticketmaster's will. It can function however TM wants it to. Yes, you probably will be able to sell down the road, but it is not 100%.

I made sure to move up enough to be safe, at some point between more premium and tickets being held more could open up closer to the show. 2022 I had decent lowers for SD (back corner up 19 rows) and moved up to close sides... I put em up and tickets kept posting better then mine.. then more would sell and mine would get to one or two sets from best in the arena only to be kicked back as more and more people dumped better seats then mine. They did sell and many more worse but I know people did get left holding tickets. Some of that was Covid scare, some was CA demand, CA over-saturation.... But if youre holding back up the house, behind the stage 300 level, beware its a risk..

Thanks to whoever posted Austin N2 109’s early this morning.

Yeah, I have been refreshing Austin N1 off and on all day and don't think I've seen one F2F post.

Yesterday was a learning experience-seeing amazing seats pop up left and right- I got into put my CC information 4 times and it shot me down with “Another Fan Already Purchased The Tickets” message every time- 3 months to play this game 🤣🤣

When F2F first opened for like a day before shutting for a week Chicago payout was 148.  When it reopened earlier this week it was correct in the 160s.  I didn’t know it broke again.  Sigh. 

I don't think its messed up for everyone. Most people seem to be getting the correct payouts. Im actually going to email 10c and see what they recommend since Ticketmaster has been avoiding me 

can you post what 10C says? I got paid out $296.42 which doesn't make sense. 

10 Club got back with me this afternoon. They assured me they'll reach out to Ticketmaster to make them aware of the glitch and reassured me the delay would not prevent me from being able to sell these tickets on F2F. Further than I got with TM alone already

Never mind, I see it… Austin N2

My tip to avoid the accidental premium purchase:  when setting your search filters set it by price instead of ticket type.  That should filter out the fan to fans that are at a premium price.

Or just buy GA, as there were no premium ... Im almost to the point where its GA or no more upgrades..

If you just toggle the high price filter amount it will refresh and save having to change all the filters every time you f5.

I just posted 205 row 3 Ft Worth night 2 for sale

F.  I just had an Indy pair all but purchased but the stupid safe key transaction analysis process blocked me.  And that was with a card that normally doesn’t get tripped up.  Darn it!

I've used my AMEX card for 99% of my purchases, including TM/LN tickets, for the past decade or so. But for some reason, I got the same thing the first time I tried for F2F tickets this year and lost out on an Indy pair.

They say it's only a "one time" verification thing but I'm not taking any chances...switched the preferred card in my TM profile to a Citi Visa.

Is it a one time verification? Is that if you make the purchase or lose out too?

Hard to risk it as you said.

I've only tried to use my AMEX once for PJ F2F this tour...so I'm unsure whether it's a "one time" thing or not. It's just weird that I was asked to "authenticate" my identity (enter a special code sent via text) before proceeding. I've NEVER been asked to do that before. Maybe I'm mistaking Safe Key with something that TM has incorporated but again, not worth the risk when seconds count.

Dumb question, but is anyone scoring these on their phone or are you having to use a PC? On the first F2F drop, I had seen many tickets for sale. I think it gave me a false sense of security. Now, over the last few days, I've seen nothing on the floor or 100 levels. And nothing except those 2 lingering F2F tickets for Noblesville. Admittedly, I haven't been glued to my phone, but still!

volume of tickets dropped way off, most of the ticket sales the first days of F2F are people who put in for every show, or like my group all 4 of us put in for tickets and the worst ones get sold and the best ones kept. Over the next few months plans will change, tickets get sold but its a trickle.. Then the weeks leading up to the shows it will pick up again. Day of you will see a bunch of sales including GA..

AMEX has a 4-digit CVV code; rookie mistake

AUS 1 and 2 both had tickets in 110 - must have been the same person 

Sugarloafer04

should I just dump my Aus 1 & 2 uppers that are both pairs and just assume once we get closer to the show I will be able to find better seats? I am somewhat worried once we get closer to the show selling these 215 and 217 row d pairs will become harder and harder.

Id Hold Em, there are still premium near your seats for 300 plus.. also there are not sets of seats even in the 200s that last more than 20 min.. with the 100s lasting minutes if not seconds. I do not think we will see tickets starting to collect and get stale for these shows... Uppers in MIN or CHI could become a thing as those barns are 20000k and TX ones are 25% smaller.. Put in the effort, focus on one show, dont blink and you will get them.. dont check more than one show at time, you have to be on great seats from get,.. good luck

I’m about to list 2 for Indy; Section D.
