I figured I'd share this here.
Yesterday I had an extra single in 117 CC to relist on TM. And as the last 2 days progressed, I could tell that this was becoming a hard show for some ppl to get decent tickets for (this was the first time in my last 13 shows that I was unable to upgrade to exactly where I wanted to be). And there were a lot of ppl looking for tickets. So rather than just posting the link unannounced, I posted in the PJ Nashville group on FB that I was about to list them, and that I'd drop the link in the comments. I figured that'd give at least a couple ppl a chance to see it and get ready before I listed. Anyway, I dropped the link, and the ticket sold instantly, before they even showed up on TM. So I could tell whoever got it, got it thru the link. But they never acknowledged that they got it. So, I had no idea who it was.
Cut to the show. This guy shows up to sit in that seat. He's friendly enough. And we get to talking. I said, 'Just out of curiosity, did you see my post about that ticket on FB?' He goes, 'Oh, are you on TickPick?' I said, 'TickPick???' He says, 'Yeah, it's this awesome site where you can get tickets to any show you want!' And then he whips out his phone and shows me the receipt.
So, I sold this ticket for $201 on TM at 3:56p. This guy then buys it for $709 at 4:08p on TickPick.
This is less than 2hrs before doors open. Just goes to show that scalpers are always lurking. There's no safe time or place.0 -

Absolutely 0 laws against them doing this, or owning the subsidiary. Which is the whole fucking problem.
Brilliant system from their viewpoint as long as you can write the appropriate terms into the contract with your client.
Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.0 -

This is less than 2hrs before doors open. Just goes to show that scalpers are always lurking. There's no safe time or place.This should not be a surprise, Last month, I posted the above. Quite simply, FB is not to be trusted. Admins of FB pages, and anyone they "give" privileges to, gain API access to every post and comment. AVOID!!!danofun said:
Facebook is the absolute last place you should be posting a link. Brokers are known to create fan/ticket groups because admins gain API access and approval privileges for every post and comment. Links seem to give a head start of ~30 seconds to 1 minute and there are way too many groups, posts, and comments for real fans to navigate. That being said, I'm sure the is an occasion FB success story.Reissy said:

What FB groups are you in?Reissy said:
All the tickets getting tossed into the wind on Facebook really aggravates me. With a little coordination, so many people could be landing great seats to in-demand shows. That said, I’ve managed to snag four sets of tickets through posts over there—so I’m trying to balance my frustration with some appreciation.gotthebottle said:
I guess I should join them hoping to score for Nashville 2.
There's a LOT of junk to sift through - get ready to see MTV Unplugged videos posted four times a day.If you're going to post and link (and please do!!) post it here for the REAL fans. There's an even playing field here. The forum is administered by 10C and not an unknown individual/group. The link will be posted immediately and not need approval so fans have an actual chance of getting extremely good seats.
We're 1 week out!!!0 -

Ugh. This is basic confirmation that things will not loosen up at all for Pittsburgh, even day of.
