No. My payment details are also missing. It says "Application Error" on the web and blank on the App. I wanted to buy tickets to another event and it won't let me checkout because there is no way to select a payment. That's through Live Nation but it doesn't matter because the login is through Ticketmaster. At this point it's about the principle. Yeah I could start another account but I've been using this one for years.

I hope there are some left after the holidays. How does everyone have all this money to spend? (rhetorical question don't get all riled up)

I'm going to guess as dates gets closer, people will realize that travel costs or conflicts will make them sell. Plus, since you don't get reimbursement until after the shows, there isn't a rush to post f2f until you for sure cannot attend.  
For resellers,  it's a no lose situation.  They can hold their stub hub posts as long as they want, and if they don't sell, can put on f2f for cost and get a refund.

Into deep debt I went.

That's only true for Stubhub, Seat Geek, et al. Ticketmaster pays within 30 days (often quicker) because it's all internal. After a sale they do the transfer immediately. If a show is canceled or postpone the person that bought the resold ticket is Ticketmaster's customer. The seller is off the hook because TM handled everything. The third-parties have to wait until after the shows to make sure the seller delivered the tickets and the show went on. All those F2F sellers from last week will get their money around MLK day.

I think places like stubhub pay you after the event (right?), but when I've sold back on f2f I got paid like a week later.

TM just told me these blocks are permanent. At least mine is. They said it was for a violation of terms of service. They won’t tell me which term it was. There are only two in there I can think of that I may have violated without realizing. One is refreshing faster than every three seconds including going back and forth between one and two tickets. The other is having more than 1000 clicks in a 24 hour period. I know that sounds like a lot but when you are moving between 1 and 2 tickets the clicks add up fast. They said I can open a new account but that really sucks. I have had this account for as long as they have had online purchases. They are blocking us but the bots keep getting through.

Damn that's crazy. They never enforced any of those before. Maybe this will be like survivor. Last to get blocked gets rewarded

So fucking dumb.  I’ll bet if you told the rep “but I was just trying to buy one of those $900+ pairs in the nosebleeds”, they’d unlock you pretty quick.

It's definitely crazy. So be careful out there. I am going to open a new account, but am terrified to even buy a ticket.

So the lesson here is don't look at f2f too much or you're going to be permanently banned from Ticketmaster. 

Awesome. 

Good luck, everyone.

This much freaking out over F2F is simply not worth it. It’s amusing to watch from afar. 

Just wait until March/April

Sorry to hear this but thank you for this info and the heads up. Echo all the comments about this being ridiculous especially the 3-second or less refreshes and 1000 click/day quota.  But to then permanently ban your TM account for one violation going forward - WTH?!?!  

If you create a new account, do your tickets from the old account transfer to the new one?  I sure hope so.  What a cluster.

My god this is just stupid. We should all at least complain to 10C so they'll reconsider how they handle ticketing on their end.

Did the rep offer to escalate the issue or just flat out say the blocks are permanent?

For what's it's worth, I did contact a bunch of executives of Ticketmaster/Live Nation using e-mails I found on various website with an issue I had. I don't know which one of them did it but that person got the ball rolling and the company did fix the problem. I was happily surprised by it. If I am still blocked by next Monday I will repeat that method.

No they don't. If the artist allows it you can transfer the tickets to the new account but the PJ events don't. If I'm perma banned I'm not going to be happen especially since there is no way I'm taxing their system compared to the bot farms.
