Wrigley Tickets

Assuming TM Wrigley tickets cannot be transferred yet, has anyone with such tickets to transfer contacted TM and if so what was the response? 

TM states they "do not have a specific date when the transfer option will be activated since it is in the hands of the event organizer."

So this sounds like a question that 10C can answer.

Wrigley tickets should be easy to get.  I don't recall anyone getting shutout in the 2018 lottery.  Unless you just did the GA only option. 

Welp this post didn't age well.  Got shutout for Wrigley in the lottery.  Luckily my ticket buddy went 2 for 2 with the Wrigley shows. 

didnt age well at all. i was surprised at all the rejections 

The lottery part didn't age well, but tickets still might be easy to get eventually. 

also true. I didnt put in the lottery for night 2 but I think eventually the floodgates will open up

I think the issue is the right hand and the left hand aren’t communicating/synching up.  Based on the TM event page for the two Wrigley shows, it notes the following.  

Important Event Info: Ticket Delivery Delay: Please note tickets will not be delivered until the week of the event and will be on the MLB Ballpark  App.

Now I realize these are referring specifically to the Premium tickets being sold.  That said if I had to guess, all Ten Club tickets will be treated the same. Again, be great if Ten Club least told us such or told us that tickets would eventually end up in the ballpark app and that your emails for Ticketmaster and the Ballpark app had to be the same.  I don’t recall this being shared in any of the email communications for my tickets but could be wrong.  

Again, I apologize if my information (theory) is inaccurate.  Not trying to lead anyone down the wrong rabbit hole.   

So your theory is the tickets will only be delivered in the ballpark app, and at that point in time, transferable? 

In that case wouldn't everyone would have to open an account with the MLB tickets app?

Yes they would.

Thanks. Sounds like their typical canned response.  The agent probably doesn’t even know there’s a state law.

All the other Wrigley concert tickets are issued through the ballpark app.  Why would PJ be different?  Maybe those who purchase PJ Premium seats will have their tickets in the TM app since TM handled that sale..

I agree.  If it is up to the event organizer, it seems odd that they are not open for transfer with IL state law.  Especially since they are already eligible to sell.

The 10C issued tickets are only shown in the TM app.  Not the MLB app, which is where tickets are found that were purchased through the Verified Fan sale.

interesting.  I wouldn't worry about the transfer not being turned on.  Sometimes they delay transfer but it should come on eventually.  It has to.

I think the theory is that what’s in the TM app is not an actual ticket but an entitlement to receive a ticket.  The entitlement gets honored by delivery of the actual ticket (bar code) to the ballpark app.  And once in the ballpark app it’s transferable.

This is just a theory based on what someone posted.  If it is correct then in my mind there’s a very real question of whether this sale process is legally compliant.  Has TM/The Organizer lived up to the law by restricting transfer for 6 months and enabling transfers only in the 72 hours before the show? That would be a serious loophole if they can do that.

On the TM ticket page it said tickets will be available the week of the show. I'm guessing that means you can add them to your wallet/transfer, etc the week of.

There's still tons of time between now and the show to worry about this.

Me too. I figured that Wrigley ticket requests would be nearly automatic. Nope.

It would be nice to spend that time not worrying about this though.

Just being able to complete trades without having to keep track of it for 6 months.  It was part of the appeal of these particular shows.
