Best way to get rid of Chicago Night2 tickets

edited May 2023 in The Porch
I ended up scoring tickets for both St. Paul shows and both Chicago shows... thinking about getting rid of the second Chicago show tickets to shorten the trip up a little.  As of now it's being away from home August 30th until September 8th... with the day between shows, I'd be able to get home 2 days earlier.  Anyways, with the Chicago shows being the oddball as far as transfers, does the PJ camp prefer we just put them up on "Fan-to-Fan" when that becomes available?  Or should I transfer to somebody directly (at face value of course)?  I guess my fear is putting them on "Fan-to-Fan" and then that person turning around and selling them for a fortune due to Illinois rules.  Would it be better to make sure I get them in the hands of a fan on the board?  

I'm not 100% sure about not going yet, but I'm starting to think 3 shows in 6 nights in 2 different cities and the big bill that comes with it might be more than I can chew.  I wasn't sure I would get 1 or 2 of my requests and I ended up getting all four.

    I've never regretted going to a PJ show. skipping them, on the other hand...

    Definitely post your tickets here and transfer to a Ten Club member that seems trustworthy. And don’t use a payment method that they could reverse, like don’t use PayPal goods and services, for example

    I hear ya.  But being gone for more than a week is a bit of a stretch for me!  Plus, my seats for Chicago Night 2 are well back on the floor behind the pit... definitely the worst seats of the 4 shows (fan club# 178xxx).  

    Reading through the rules, I just wasn't clear on the best options.  Sounds like the PJ camp "strongly encourages" use of Fan-to-Fan, but I didn't know what the best option was for Illinois.  I've heard folks have tickets listed for north of $1,000 on StubHub, so I didn't want these to end up in the wrong hands of somebody that's going to turn a major profit.

    Why? Don't they need a reason to reverse it? Like you'd have to show the tickets are fake.
    I didn't think you could just reverse a payment, that completely defeats the purpose of the security within Paypal.

    Fan-to-fan will not be available for the Chicago shows, so you'll just have to transfer to someone directly.

    It was available yesterday for Chicago.

    So the sell and transfer CHI ticket option either means you are selling these to someone you know/trust or hope that a stranger actually pays you after you transfer them the tickets (or the person buying the tickets hopes you transfer after payment). Do I have that right? I don't understand the concerns of gouging with ticket transfers.

    The sell option means you are posting them on the TM F2F site for resale. The transfer button means you can do a private sale with whomever you want and you transfer the ticket to their TM account. There is a level of trust involved in that method if you are dealing with a stranger.

    I suspect it will be available for Chicago. Just not required like the other cities. Used by the kind souls or those not willing to risk their 10C membership.

    I've purchased tickets off stub hub before. I believe that is how its done with a private sale there. You buy a ticket. They transfer to you. You confirm you've received it. Transaction over. 
    I imagine if I never get the ticket, I just go through StubHub to make my claim, and they never get paid and I get my money back.

    I just checked PayPal’s seller protection program and they updated it, looks like in 2021. I was not aware that now they DO cover electronic items delivered to the buyer electronically. you are correct.

    Are they 10C tickets? You can sell to whoever you want, but face value only.

    Are they non-10C tickets? You can put them on StubHub or the Ticketmaster app. Because you can legally sell non-10C for whatever you want, I'd start really high. Every few weeks, lower the price just a small bit. They'll eventually sell.

    You'll have zero problem selling them, especially for face value. For this tour, Chicago is *the* big stop.

    Pretty sure you could even sell 10club on stubhub, frowned upon for sure but doable.

    I ended up with an extra ticket for Chicago N2 and sold it directly to another 10c member on the given to fly section of the forum. It was pretty seamless- he Venmo’d me the money and I transferred him the ticket via email. I prefer doing this to F2F cause that way, I know I’m putting the ticket in the hands of another true fan who won’t then turn around and attempt to sell it for a profit on the secondary market.

    Sorry for my ignorance on this, but after you sell to whomever you want at face value, how do you get the tickets into said persons hands?

    You transfer them directly from your Ticketmaster account. Only works for Chicago on this tour due to Illinois state law.

    They are 10 Club tickets.  Here's what I was trying to ask... If I put them on Fan-to-Fan, how do I know they get to a deserving fan and not somebody that's going to turn around and sell them for a big profit?  I didn't clearly understand what the Pearl Jam camp wants with getting rid of tickets for the Illinois shows.

    I guess I'm fine working out a deal (face value of course) with a Ten Clubber... it would just take coordination for me to get paid (I have PayPal?) and them to receive the tickets (me transferring to their Ticketmaster account?).  I've had a few people reach out already.

    Note: I'm still trying to figure out if a 4th show in 8 days is feasible/manageable.  :|

    You do not know if someone buying it on fan to fan will flip them or not

    If you are in talks with people here and trust the buyer then have them paypal you the money and transfer the tickets. Takes less than 2 minutes to do.

    In theory though, you could sell your CHI tickets to a "fan" here for face value. They could then turn around and list on Stubhub and flip the tickets for $$$. The issue here is that if the Ten Club sees the fan club tickets being relisted on Stubhub at an inflated price, they're only going to know the seats as being assigned to you.

    No - F2F is open to anybody.

    I'd say the best way to get rid of tickets is to download them into your wallet app. Lock your phone. Throw it into the river.

    I've wondered about that too. But StubHub doesn't show you the exact seat until you buy though I think.
    But all the GA tickets, those were only 10c right? SO every one of those is a 10c flip. Would they have to buy it in order to track it?

    You bring up valid points on the specifics of the seat locations. Stubhub used to give the specific seat numbers and no longer do. I'd only be speculating on whether or not they (10 Club) would have buy the ticket to find you. It would appear that way but I have no way of knowing for certain.

    Yes - GA were Ten Club only. A lot of those listings are sites like Stubhub, etc. are speculators. They'll throw a crazy price up there, hope someone pays that crazy price and then they'll have until the day before the show to find a ticket at a lower price and make the spread on difference.
