It isn't just a tool for buyers. It is also a tool for sellers. TM is allegedly paying out after the sale and not waiting till after the show. Asking people to hold off on getting paid and run a risk their tickets won't sell at all might be asking a lot.
Do any of us really think that there is a chance that halfway decent tickets wont sell within 2 weeks of most of these shows? Like seriously?
California 2022. Week before the tour you could have planned a trip and had your choice of pairs to every show on the floor or in the lower bowl.
Chicago 2023.
I'm sure there are other examples. Plenty of people have eaten tickets that didn't sell.
But....its 2024...and there are shows that have no tickets available and bots are beating fans in F2F right now...apples and oranges...i digress...agree to disagree i guess....
No tickets available right now. Which can change. There have been shows on the last two tours that had nothing available for awhile. Then a few pairs start to hang around. Then a dozen. Then 50 or so . . .
I was FINALLY able to snag my missing link - Seattle N2 tickets. Trash seats, but all 3 of us will be able to sit together the second night & no longer need to stress - F2F is much more fun when you're upgrading, opposed to the anxiety of just trying to get in the building.
Upgrading from our 10C Vancouver tickets was very easy, done the first day. Seattle is something else. Was able to cart pairs about 20 times & only successfully checked out 1 time w/o the "U"-errors. However, 2 for 2 on singles & 1 for 1 on a set of 3 tickets.
Happy to but the phone away & just enjoy Wrestlemania this weekend
Will post here when I'm ready to get rid of our extra Seattle tix (lower pair N1, lower single N2)
Interested in your N2 Lower single..please and thanks!

I told a friend of mine who was at the back of the floor to sell his n2 Vancouver a few days back. He was just able nab row 19 side stage. I think that's a pretty solid upgrade.
I saw those too earlier but decided to hold off. Normally I like side stage, but those were pretty far side stage and I'm a little concerned what the sight lines are going to look like with the new stage production. Certainly better than the back of the floor though IMO.

Yah, I think they'll be ok, but it's also possible he pulls another upgrade before game day. Side stage shouldn't be the most difficult tickets to unload later on.
I've never gone wrong with side stage for all of my concert going career. Well once at a Bryan Adams concert, but that's because the tickets were too low and close to the stage. Speakers blocked some of the view. Row 10 to 20 usually means your above the low lying stuff on the stage. It's just nice being able to get the sightline and see over everyone and get that not too far away unobstructed view

Interested in N1 when you are ready to sell.
If PJNB is all set by the time you list your Sea N1 pair, I'd love a shot at them. Gotta upgrade from the back of the floor that night or all 5'4" of me won't see a thing!
Ditto on the Philly 1’s - proven to be a tough ticket so far, which isn’t overly surprising I suppose
I also missed

I had an infuriating conversation with someone from TM today. It was like beating my head against the wall. Not matter how many times I tried to tell her what was going on she kept repeating the same ridiculous excuses to me. Maybe I was talking to a bot. I could seriously feel my blood pressure rising.

Ya its pointless talking to TM. 10C needs to be the one doing it.
I was telling them about all the tickets on the secondary market and the suspicion of bots. I brought up the info we were given when the lottery started that any tickets above face value on the secondary market were subject to cancellation. She kept saying they were allowed to be on the secondary market. I kept quoting her that message on their website that said they weren’t. She kept sidestepping me. I told her that GAs were only sold to 10C members and there was a strict policy against those being sold on the secondary market. She said GA tickets are different from face value tickets and could be sold anywhere. She was clueless. She kept repeating the same incorrect information over and over. She even suggested that the tickets on the secondary market were not from TM because the venues can sell through different places. It was absolutely infuriating. But I think we should be like the Swifties and bombard them with complaints.
Just scored a great single for Vancouver N2- Section 117, row 10. There is still hope everyone! I’m posting a floor row 20 pair if anyone is interested.
Refreshing Baltimore, a F2F popped up and I blindly started checking out without really thinking, just moving as fast as I could. Before clicking 'Submit' I noticed the total was over $1,500. Luckily I caught myself and didn't complete the sale. I guess its a pair of Premium Seats that someone is relisting?
Someone else is not going to be so alert. This is criminal
Wow those are like gold! Will be few and far between. I feel like seeing a nosebleed seat pop up for MSG on F2F is almost like seeing a GA pop up for any other show.

It's in the upper but I'm in the building.
I do respect the effort, though!
