    I hated the F2F sale the last time around. Fpund someone who was willing to "meet up" at a certain time late in the evening, got note of when the tickets would drop, and they got snagged away by someone else within two seconds. I would enjoy it if the tickets were more easily transferable.

    We were able to do this last year?^^^^^(I know you were able to get the ticket on my phone somehow)
    Cant remember lol 

    I think I just planned on giving you my login to avoid the headaches of it not working. 
    That's what was done and you were able to get the ticket on my phone last year.

    I'm wondering if anyone knows the correct interpretation of: 

    ". However, 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."

    I'm a Canadian with Fenway tickets that I am unsure if I will be able to use. 
    Option 1: As Canadians, we can open an "American dollar bank account" but it would not be at a bank with its headquarters in tne US. 
    Option 2: I have American friends that could help through the process, but I'm wondering if the account has to be in the ticket holders name. 

    Any insight is much appreciated 🙏

    lol, the whole point is so you can't dictate who they go to, so you can't ask for extra on them.  The whole thing works on it going to a random person.

    If you make tickets transferable, they can be resold for more money.  It's a trade off really.

    Say I have a friend with tickets to Philly N2. If he cannot use them and wants to sell them at face value to me, will we be able to do that via F2F?
    Specifically, if someone is selling via F2F, can the seller designate who the buyer is or do the tickets just go up for sale to whoever grabs them first?  
    I've heard of people trying to co-ordinate times. But as soon as you post the tickets to your friend,somebody snatches them up in 10 seconds. It's a tricky thing to do.Wish you the best of luck.

    F2F is open to anyone. It’s just like buying any other ticket on TM except it’s random when tickets pop up. Best thing to do is install a chrome add on that refreshes the page every few seconds and let it run on a second monitor. 
    Thanks! I was going to ask what strategy people had for F2F. Do you know the name of the Chrome add on?

    Unfortunately I got shut of the lottery as well, 1st time it’s happened in lottery era. Anyways haven’t had to use F2F before, I hope it’s not incredibly hard to get tickets and at this point just want to be in the building as I have travel plans half booked at this point. Wife and I planned on going to Vegas, so hopefully there will be some available. Fingers crossed

    @dmbolp, was the ticket ever in your wallet first? See below from TM website-

    You may be attempting to add tickets that are already in someone else's wallet. Any tickets purchased from an individual Ticketmaster account can only be linked to one Apple ID. If you need to send another fan a ticket
    No, I did not put it in the wallet on my phone first.  Bought it on my laptop and then logged in to my TM on her phone.  And it allowed me to load it to her wallet.

    Has anyone ever done a F2F swap? I got both LA nights and can’t attend either, but would love to swap for Portland, Vegas, Sac, Philly or MSG night 2.  Has anyone done this before?

    Swap...sale...call it whatever you want.  You'd need someone else comfortable sharing their TM credentials , and you with them.  It Happens.

    There will be. If you just want to be in the building, you will definitely get tickets. People with 200 level will be looking to upgrade to 100s and everyone will be trying to upgrade to GA. The dominos start to fall. Then standard admission drops start and premiums fall to standard as well. It just takes some time and commitment and you will score.
