Is there a way to get paid for sale of tickets on F2F if you don’t have a domestic bank account?

    Thanks for all the info on this.  I’m hoping to go to the Chicago show but am in Ottawa.

    i have a question…can I buy tickets for the show using my credit card (like I’ve done in the past) and I only need to open a Wise account if I try and sell the tickets..or do I need to buy tickets from the beginning with a Wise account in order to sell them?  Just trying to figure out if I have to haul ass and get a wise account set up before February 18.  Thanks!
    Chicago tickets are transferable so you can sell them any way you want.  This nonsense doesn’t apply.  Just have to respect face value rule.  
    Thanks for bringing this up.  I did see Illinois has laws in place and I forgot about it.  Thanks for the heads up!

     Just in case I win the lottery and make the shows does anyone know a "guy" with connections that can get me the proper paperwork to meet every bank's requirement to open an account?

    ****- For fans who can’t use their tickets, Pearl Jam and Ticketmaster will offer a Fan-to-Fan Face Value Ticket Exchange for every city beginning at a later date. You must have a valid bank account or debit card within the country of the event(s) in order to sell through the Fan-to-Fan Face Value Ticket Exchange. Tickets identified for sale above face value on secondary marketplaces are subject to cancellation.

    I don’t know if it can be done this year, but last year the international travelers were able to get a check. Granted, they had to wait a few months for it, but that option was available.

    I use Revolut. I think that is available in the US. It is a top up card and you can have accounts from different currencies. I used that one for 2020 tickets refund as I didn't have a us bank account.

    At least the German Ticketmaster site does not mention any restriction about the bank account country

    https://www.ticketmaster.de/feature/resale-tickets/?language=en-us

    I guess it is different from country to country. And also FWIW (I know they are not playing there) I sold tickets successfully on the Danish Ticketmaster last summer and got paid successfully to Finnish bank account

    If you get a Wise card, you can get a virtual accounts in multiple currencies and get money transferred. That might work for you?

    It was 2018 so things may have changed, but I sold tickets for a rescheduled Foo Fighters show in Calgary that I couldn't go back for through whatever resale system Ticketmaster was using back then with no problems. It came back to me in CAD funds, but I was able to just transfer it into my US bank account.

    Any Americans used wise to set up a foreign account? Have mostly heard of people using it to set up US accounts, but assume there's no reason it wouldn't work in reverse

    Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately after chatting with that company said they wouldn't be able to send money to my account,
     unless the event is in the United States.

    I used WISE (Revolt doesn't work if you're from the US). It took some time but I was able to get all the proper account information needed for every foreign country, except Germany. 

    Since Germany uses the euro and WISE is headquartered in Belgium, I could only get banking account numbers for Belgium. Hopefully, it won't matter.

    I called the Ticketmaster Resale number and the representative was very sure about the international resale rules. She confirmed the PJ Fanclub Presale rule:You must have a valid bank account or debit card within the country of the event(s) in order to sell through the Fan-to-Fan Face Value Ticket Exchange. 

    Regarding Europe...I even asked if a German citizen could sell a Barcelona concert ticket on the TM Face Value Exchange and she said only if the seller had a bank account in Spain. But then I saw this on Germany's TM site:

    https://help.ticketmaster.de/hc/en-us/articles/12216059633425-Resale-Selling-tickets

    Basically, if you live in Europe or Great Britain and your country is supportetd by the payment provider AYDEN you're safe. If you live anywhere else you have to use a service like WISE, but you still need a billing address in the country where the event is taking place. Right now, I'm not gonna. worry about any of this until I win the lottery.

    What really sucks is that she said the only way you could sell it if you're not in the country of the event is to go online and sell it to a 3rd party ticket broker. And a10th club member would have to sell it for face value according to the Ten Club rules, but then the ticket broker could sell it for any price they want.

    Is it possible to sell a 160 GBP Ten Club ticket for Manchester in the official Ticketmaster resale for less, by that I mean a freely selectable amount below the original price or am I forced to sell the ticket for exactly the same price? Your answer to this question would be very important and urgent to me. Thank you very much.

    Why is that? Is it because they are Ten Club tickets? In its general information, Ticketmaster UK always says the following:

    "You're in control. Set your price and see exactly how much you'll be paid when your tickets sell."

    "Follow the prompts, choose your pricing and enter a payout method."
