    Also, it’s fishy that F2F premium price singles are popping up two at a time in the same row on TM for prices slightly lower than any premium priced seat I’ve seen. 
    If bots are truly the case for F2F misses, the band and industry ought to know. TM is calling some of us bots for trying too many times, but scalpers are able to use software. I know the band is already paid, but I have to hope someone like Jeff would be outraged.

    I wish someone cared.. back in 2018 when Metallica opened up the new Chase center in SF, they planned a show with the Symphony.. the show was a Friday and when it went on sale - BOTs took all the tickets. Fans got next to nothing. They had to add a second show with higher cyber security to get tickets to fans.. I got tickets to the second show.

    What's worse, is that we as Fans, have NO control over the tickets we get or the shows we win. The only way we can get tickets to shows we miss out on is to buy them on F2F... We cant even just trade them with others who have what we want.. So its ok for all these tickets to leave fans for secondary market to control... Not us, fans who will search all day to get a buddy into the PIT.. BS!

    I saw it but didn’t get it. That fucking sucks, sorry. Maybe we shouldn’t be doing F2F for a while

    Unfortunately you need to time the dumps really late, when less people are actively searching.

    When the oakland show was supposed to be in 2020, me and another board member, due to TM's system, somehow split of a pair of GA.  A while later he offered to put up his single GA ticket so I could get it.  We did it at 11pm, and I thought that was even early, but I struggle to stay up past that in my old age :)  I think some people were doing their exchanges at 2 or 3am to do it when the least amount of people would be searching :(

    No way to beat the bots.   This sucks.

    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?

    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.
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    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?

    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
