Just got a pair of GA for Berlin. It says "early entry" on the tickets as well. Is it safe to assume I actually do get the early entry even though I did not win those tickets through the 10C lottery but bought them on f2f?

Yes

If bots are buying up the tickets for another stie, how does that site plan to get the tickets to the person that buys them?
I don't get it, there's no transfer option.

Probably a burner Ticketmaster account and they just sell the whole account

That seems so shady and like it'd be easy to stop. I wouldn't buy a ticket for 2K and then be told here your new login to ticketmaster. But I guess that makes sense, how would they stop it?

Looking for 1 single ticket to Seattle Night 2. Going for my birthday. (Got 2 this morning, need 1 more!)

Bots aren’t gonna be as active in the weeks and days leading up to the show. Might just wait to try my luck then.

They have other methods of sending the tickets too

I sold my extra Barcelona tickets and I received an email saying: Payment is issued around 10-12 business days after the event has taken place.

Is it like this for everyone???
First time I sold on TM. Thanks

Is that just so you don’t end up getting that security code txt sent to you by TM for verification

Europe maybe different but last year USA shows you got paid a week or two after you sold.

has anyone had a successful coordinated drop yet?

My friend had one for Vegas around 6am.

Jamer196 · April 4

Thanks for the info, what did the email of the sold tickets said?

I forget but I do remember there being a mixed message with one thing saying after the event and the other after tickets sold.

Ok thanks, just have to wait now

The person on the phone for CC customer service is just about as helpful as TM customer service. They will tell you some bullshit to get you off the phone and then you are someone else's problem when you find out they lied.

JE224127 · April 4

Well, I got to test out the cc on Baltimore. Missed the tix but didnt get the prompt for extra verification.

You won't unless you are the one that would have got them.

Yea …..reading through the last few pages…. Give me resale option any day of the week. This is punishing fans honestly. I could never sit there and waste that much time only to be beat over and over and over again.

It is addictive and time wasting and you are chasing that high to score tickets. It is not healthy at all for any of us I don't care what situation you have going on at work or at home.

This is coming from someone that has put in hundreds of hours in the last couple of tours. Think about that for a minute.... Pretty embarrassing to be honest.

Yea but I know you’ve helped out a lot of fans as well
over the years so nothing to be embarrassed about. But still, I understand where you’re coming from. I absolutely agree it is not healthy.

This is why I dropped $600 x2 pre-fees for Wrigley GA/Pit the day they went on sale. I work full time as an RN, full time DNP student, and have a home/family. There is just no way I can attempt the F2F refresh all day. I hope 10C members are able to get these F2F tickets though: sending good vibes peeps!

I think the majority of listings posted immediately after F2F opened were purchased by fans as opposed to bots. I’ve looked over some of the scalper inventory, sure they share resources, but still I haven’t seen my various pairs listed and no one in their right mind would have paid those prices at this point regardless given what else remains available. Once word got out a few hours later or the next day it’s game over.

If you’re chasing reserves specifically I wouldn’t play the upgrade game but that’s just me. More than some fans have secured face value reserves far closer than previously held upgrades would have placed them a week before the show. This is an awkwardly timed world tour, in many ways, and plenty will change their minds or have their options diminish for a trip forcing a sale. FOMO should only exist for entry but you’ll be in the venue and you won’t be upper bowl so just put that weight down and take a deep breath.

Yes bots are in play but it’s a funny thing. I woke up at 3:00am one Saturday morning last year when our son climbed into bed and kicked me away. He took over my space so I sat up and started playing on F2F. By 3:15am I landed a GA pair for one of the St Paul shows. This was in June (I remember because it was my birthday and I didn’t even get to sleep in lol) and the shows were obviously a couple of months away but still if a bot was active there’s no way I would have landed those especially considering I wasn’t moving at hyper speed given the hour.

There still needs to be a human to check out the tickets.

They have not figured out yet as far as I know how to write something that tells the bots to collect all of the good tickets like you would see on a VF sale and checkout out on its own. VF has the luxury of holding the tickets too making it much easier.
