Dang I just got an upgrade for Austin N1 and now Ticketmaster thinks I'm a bot!?!? Anyone else have this happen to you?

Yes. That happened to me. I was told that if you refresh too fast and too often TM will block your IP address for around 24 hours. If you get too many temporary blocks then they will permanently block you. When I was blocked on my computer my TM app still worked on my phone. So see if that works. But don’t click fast too many times or refresh anything continuously or you will be blocked again. Everything seems to be working now again for me, so I have to be very careful in terms of refreshing pages. 

I fucking despise this company man. Had a drop set up, nailed it, just spun at checkout and nothing. Turns out, it thought I was bot. So basically, the only fucking way to get tickets is to refresh constantly and be as fast as possible (i'm 0-11 with tickets in cart), but not toooooo fast or you get flagged as a bot. Fucking hell. I'm about to just punt and wait for closer to the show and hope for the best. Its just impossible right now.

It's a hard lesson to learn but I think that waiting until close to the show is the best bet. It has never failed me yet. Way too frustrating when the shows are this far out.

Yep, I was just trying to upgrade and ensure I could sell my others. At this point, i'm happy to pay double for closer seats. If I get better seats and get stuck with my uppers because its too close to the show, whatever. Its just a shame we have to deal with the TM bullshit. They are just fucking with us on the checkout process. If you pay their ridiculous prices, your tickets are held and you have a timer with a set time to checkout. Not for F2F though, you have to keep battling the whole way and essentially get lucky as hell. 

Perfect example of why they should tier the pricing if they intend on selling 300 level nosebleeds to 10C members.  You're not the only one that would be willing to pay more for better seats.  A ton of these 300 levels for $162 won't sell and they'll be staring at vacant seats anyway.  There's already a glut on F2F.

I posted a pair of seats as far as possible from the stage for Tuesday night in Chicago and they sold in a couple of hours. I suspect people shouldn't be eating these.

I'd say it depends. I'm fully prepared to eat my Austin uppers if I can get lucky and more lowers are available closer to the show. I've given it a shot on the few days F2F has been open, but its nearly impossible and not worth it. I would suspect that if more become available closer to the show and I get lucky say, 1-3 days prior, my uppers aren't going to sell for $162 a piece that close to the show. 

Really good seats are rare this early on. Occasionally you'll get lucky, and find someone who just wants to get rid of their tickets asap. But for the most part, people know they'll always be able to unload those, so they're in no rush to get rid of them. There will be lots of good tickets to choose from as the shows draw near.
However, getting stuck with crappy uppers is a legitimate concern. I know it seems risky, but if you really think your seats are that bad that they may not sell later, you may want to try and unload them now and trust that you'll be able to find better later.

yeah, i've thought about it. I'll just hold them. They aren't the worst in the arena so maybe i'll get lucky. I'm hoping it works out like you say and I can grab something as it nears. I've already had it with refreshing and missing out and now being kicked off for being a bot. If I can get "good" seats for $320 ($160x2) to a Pearl Jam show, i'll call that a win. If not, I'll be rocking in 217.

I’ve managed to get really good seats (IMO) for two shows through fan to fan, just need one more.  Then I’ll be satisfied but will still probably check sporadically and closer to the shows for an upgrade.

I got an aisle seat for Austin 1 in 113 today, dead center.

I got a pair in 115 for Ft worth 2 in 115, again dead center.

I got a single in 115 row 1 during initial onsale for ft worth 1, so now just need a single (or pair) for tour closer austin 2.

it’s going to be a fun birthday weekend!

I wouldn’t mind getting some floor seats but I always enjoy the dead center view, even though a lot of people would prefer to be closer but on the side it seems.

Looking for 1 GA for night 1 Austin if anyone is looking to post F2F I would really appreciate the headsup!

That's amazing and almost unbelievable. I just can't get it done. I'm on a gig internet connection and I speed through the checkout, but get denied each time. Glad you are having success. I refreshed a thousand times today and barely saw anything and missed my only opportunity. Way too much wasted time spent.

checking F2F for Indy just now, got the tickets available screen, got excited only for the tickets to be $800+!

As of now, I've got aisle seats in 112 and 113 for both ATX, and aisle seats in 112 and 114 for both St Paul. I consider this a good starting point, because if I don't find something really good (which I'm sure I will), I'm okay with sitting in those seats.

Does anyone know what the cheapest Indy seats were that weren’t lawn? I keep checking hoping to score an F2F, but I really can’t justify spending $1,700 for two tickets—which seem to be the only tickets that keep popping up.

Yup. Saw that too. It sucks because one day I clicked on seats like that, and when I did, they must’ve just updated because $300 seats popped up. Still absolutely crazy, but I hesitated too long and when I finally decided that at worst, I could relist them if I couldn’t justify spending that and they were gone.

Nice! That’s awesome! I’m hoping to stumble upon some. Do you use one of those apps that alert to you to changes in a website? Or do you just check frequently?

Also, I’m not a snob. I will definitely take lawn seats, it’s just the wife would prefer to actually have a seat haha. I actually love the lawn. Always a good time.

No app is going to help with these. There are ppl who are constantly checking. And I mean constantly. By the time an app alerts you to anything new, they'll already be gone.

If anybody plans on posting lawn seats or seats that aren’t $800 for Indy, or they have an extra, please message me. I can be a poster buddy. I have I also have two sets of tickets to night two in Chicago. One set is slightly behind the stage (section 230) but they’re row 1. The other set is section 333. I plan on checking out both views during night 1 to see which one are better haha. But I don’t need 4 and don’t plan on gouging people on stub hub or anything.

I'm a fan, but I'm also scouting the layout of the building lol. It's kinda intimate, almost theatre-like. I don't think there's a bad seat in the house!

My assumption is that pair for $1,735 is buyer's remorse...someone bought PJ Premium (either by accident or consciously) and now they need to unload, for whatever reason. As has been stated myriad times, in a slew of threads, just be patient. The show is still a smidgen less than four months away.

I've got upper pavilion to the far right for DC (which will probably have an awful sight line) but I finally stopped worrying about it. If I get better seats through F2F, awesome. If not, it ain't the end of the world. Good luck in your search my friend.

The guy in the pants who looks kinda like Ryan Gosling is Orange Cassidy. His gimmick is that he... doesn't really care😅

He comes out to "Jane" by Starship & it's fucking awesome.

PJ should cover Starship. You know you want it.
