    In the ticket information, it did say Premium, but I won it in the 10C lottery.
    Then you got ripped off.  I'd be emailing 10club.  You shouldnt have paid 345 for a single 10club ticket.
    Agreed... something's wrong here.

    Verified Fan and the 10c lottery are always two different things. My guess is you bought that ticket through the VF sale.

    Probably this and to add to the confusion the platinum tix are called PJ Premium. That could lead some to believe they are 10c. bad marketing

    Regardless of the branding I'd think you'd be able to at least list for whatever you initially paid through TM. VF, PJ Platinum, Premium, whatever. Whether they brutally undercut you with their own held back supply aside.

    Thanks, everyone - I appreciate your insights.

    I did win it through the 10C lottery.  I wasn't even invited to the Verified Fan sales.  And I did pay premium for MSG, but rationalized that it was for my peace of mind.  Like you all said, people around me paid face on the day of the show.  My preference will always be 10C seats.

    The things I’ve learned in the last however many years, NEVER buy Premium tickets, there are always tickets available for face or less especially as the concert date approaches. And #2, don’t buy tickets to shows unless you’re 100% planning on going. If you need to sell your tix, the system is stacked against you and you’ll likely take a loss

    For us in NY we need an asterisk on “always available for face” part. Although there was a nice selection face value added 5pm on N1 along the screen, that was a fluke due to having screens this tour and last minute production adjustments that lead to available seats. Had it been standard PJ seating, there would have been nothing at face value unless F5ing.

    Yes I know some of us are on TM constantly finding tickets and that’s great, but F5ing is not realistic for many fans. At 1pm Sept 3rd, there were very slim pickings under $500 on TM for NY.

    I'm annoyed because I got 10C tickets during the lottery and now can't exchange/upgrade as much better seats drop because my original tickets weren't purchased directly with TM. No way am I going to take a chance on buying another pair and trying to resale with this much inventory being dropped 24 hours out.

    I understand production tickets and opening up more space once you've set up things up and realize the sight lines, but it is still pretty lame that members of the fan club have less flexibility than someone who got tickets through the general on-sale. I'll get over it of course, and luckily am able to attend and use all my tickets, but I've learned to just wait in the future.
