Why was MLB allowed to change the rules ON A HOLIDSAY WEEKEND that no one got who doesn't have their email jones for the weekend? By the time it got read F2F on Ticketmaster was over. I've added the lousiest fucking app run by the piss poor idiots who can't help you after stealing the comfort of everything being settled and telling me to contact the issuer. THEY TOOK EVERYTHING AWAY FROM THEM!!!! I can't sell my tickets on seat geek if I can't transfer them to  it. I sent a request to customer disservice and they replied MLB is not set up for sales I need to go through seat geek. I CAN'T GET MY FUCKINBG TICKETS OVER TO SEAT GEEK ! Why is all this so problematic?  Yesterday at 10AM I got notice from Air B&B that my reservation was cancelled. After gaining composure, I contacted them asking for help finding a new suitable stay. Well, turns out they couldn't. My must haves were public transportation to Fenway and a decent neighborhood. Turns out if you make plans in Feb for Sept. you get a good deal but if I was willing to pay more they could help. Seems trying to get reservations are harder to find and MUCH more expensive 4 days before arrival. Even though they send some bullshit email saying if your reservation is cancelled within 30 days of your res they will cover the difference. LIES! They wanted my money. I'm so fucking frustrated I'll never attempt to go to Boston in what's left of my lifetime. Not really a big threat cause I'm 60yo. I spent over budget and have no way to do anything to stop it or sell my tickets. THIS FUCKING WORLD IS WEARING ME THE FUCK DOWN!
Edit: For years I thought Ticketbastard was THE worst company and along comes MLB proving my wrong.

    Sorry you missed it, but the info was shared on here months ago. Definitely could have been better communicated. You can sell your tickets and just give someone the credentials to the MLB app that you have no other use for. Worth a shot.

    Fuck this whole mess. I called the number on the email I got for assistance and was told it's not on them. What a fucking total ripoff! Apparently it's on no one but me. It's not a joke!

    As stated that information was available for months.  I get being mad about it, but it's on you (tickets not Air B&B issue).

    It’s always a risk with Airbnb that the host will cancel.  I took the gamble as well for Boston.  So far so good but I always have in the back of my mind I may need to scramble.  

    Good luck with the tickets.

    I don't think "posted for months on here" is acceptable. Not every ticketholder is a Ten Club member and not every Ten Club member uses the forum. And that was just about F2F ending early. The first I heard about needing the Ballpark app was one email just under two weeks ago.
