It's so hard.  I'm no good at playing chicken with Ticketmaster.  They've probably still got more seats they haven posted yet that'll get blown out at face not long before the show(s).    They sell backwards, shittiest to best At the same time it's horrible trying to plan to go to a concert when you don't have the tickets you want in hand

I originally had pairs in sec 114 but since I'm going solo now I put them up on f2f and we're gone in cpl hours. And I already have airline tickets so still heading to van for n1 but this is totally against how I travel. I'm going to van without concert ticket. So I'm finding this really hard to try and wait it out. Hoping for 119 or 104 or if possible ga.

I refuse to buy premium. I’d rather miss a show. I feel like the more we support the practice the worse it’s going to get. Absolutely no judgment to anyone else who takes that route but I can’t do it.

Doubt you will have a problem finding something soon. Patience is the key here, but I hear ya!

Looking for some help.  I “upgraded” my TC floor tickets for lower bowl this Sunday.  Now in my events, I have six tickets.  My two originals, the two upgraded, and two that show the $10 upgrade fee.  They have not charged my credit card for the fee. Has this happened to anyone else?  Do I just need to wait it out?  I don’t have much faith in Ticketmaster and worried they are going to screw me in some way.  Tried calling but get different answers every time I call.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

update- checked my ticket master events again today and now only my original TC tickets are there.  Looks like the “upgrade” didn’t work .  No problem, I’m just happy to be in the building.

So you were able to upgrade your original 10c seats even though they were through Ticketstoday? I thought you could only upgrade seats that were purchased directly from TM.

The first person at Ticketmaster told me that I couldn’t upgrade but I called again and the next person I talked to made the upgrade happen.  Not sure what is going on?

I have upgraded twice for N2, and yes I see three ticket (original, and 2 upgrades). However, I was charged the $10 exchange fee. If you try to sell your tickets u will see your most updated/upgraded tickets are only available. I think you’re good. You may want to call your cc to see if the $10 fee is pending or something.

More shameful self promotion - I still have a pair for N2 posted on f2f, 104 row 23 (seats border section 105) for face value. Surrounded by PJ prem so they are getting shadowed, and everyone waiting for lower rows to drop

Good news, received a payment from TM today, no idea which of the 3 pairs we sold/upgraded it's from, but I guess it's something I get the feeling it's the tickets I sold in my own account on Friday, and the ones from my wife's account are still held up.  Hopefully what I did yesterday dislodges the funds.

Finally! Glad to hear it! Hopefully you’ll receive the payments from the other two pairs soon.

You may have been missinformed by TM. I sure was. They said 100% TicketsToday could "exchange" but TT wouldn't, they consider the process a Refund and TT does not refund. We can only sell 10C tix.

Did you check and see if your 10C became available for someone to purchase on TM when TM said they completed the exchange?

Edit: Just to clarify what I wrote, TM may have upgraded your tickets and given you new ones, but you may still own the 10C tickets, and those they should not have been able to revoke. You may still need to sell them.

Zod

Yah that seems rough.  First rep didn't do it, so you ended the call, and tried again until someone did.   That's something I've done before with other things, but runs the risk the person who wouldn't do it was right, and the person who did do it, f'd it up :(

On a different note, I'm now trying to get fan2fan tickets for Foo Fighters in Seattle in August.   Just missed a pair of GA :(

mcg.j.sean

I have a pair in section 119 row 11 for both nights. If anyone wants to trade for a pair of GA on either night let me know! 

Fallen Angel

I have sec 118 row 11, seats 1&2 for N1 that I would trade for N1 GA or First Row Floor.  

They're the first two seats on the isle.  Great if you're short or need to zip up to the bathroom quickly.

At least the Canucks landed on May 5th for hockey. Silly me thought I could pick up a ticket to that reasonably priced and they are like $300 to $1300!. Forgot hockey is the heart of Canada it seems. Should be a fun atmosphere near the arena for playoff hockey - guessing some good sports bars?

That’s a game 7, let’s hope they don’t need it.

Oh dang, it said home game 4 - i just assumed it meant game 4.  Makes more sense now. Good call out!  Im a Wings fan - haven't sniffed the playoffs in a while so out of touch heh.

It's crazy that we are less than 2 weeks away from Van 2 and about half of the lower bowl is still up for sale.
It's such bullshit that during the initial sale Ticketmaster made it seem like it was selling out quickly and forced people to buy all the upper deck seats 
and inflated the prices of tickets so bad. 

I know a bunch of non club members who got shut out of the initial TM sale. Once more seats got released they couldn’t be bothered to buy tix. They’d spent the $ elsewhere already or were pissed at the whole situation. 

Not only that, but $208 is still too expensive for most casual fans. The vast majority of them probably wouldn't spend more than $120.

I hope I feel satisfied with my decisions come showtime. I sold both 10C singles (rows 21 and 36 floor). I was very very relieved to actually manage that. Now I have row 10 right between sec 119 and 118 for N1, and row 2 on the aisle between sec 105 and 106 N2 - that one I paid $289. Pretty decent seats... but for N2 i am getting the feeling that I could have easily done better for less of i had waited until next week. Frustrating. Although I am on the aisle, which is kind of a big deal for me.

Also, I find it strange that the sections are all half one actual section and half of the next. Really weird.

Original_Shifty

Yah, the sections straddle the aisle which can seem weird but if you are in the concourse looking to figure out where to go, it's more difficult to figure out because there would be two possible aisles to go down on either side of the section instead of one aisle and the just figuring out which side of the aisle to pull into. Less likely to have to go back out to the concourse because you went down the wrong side.
