There’s a part of me that’s not surprised at all they’re walking this back. I wonder if someone at TM finally realized that if they aggressively ban any humans who have a real shot at F2F tickets, they lose any plausible deniability for how the tickets end up on reseller sites. 

I’m still confident that favored partners have an inside track to the best F2F tickets, but as long as TM allows humans to refresh like crazy, there’s no way to prove that without an inside source. So, from that perspective, this is the smarter move for them.

I still don't think they are going to allow us to refresh like crazy. That could cause another ban.

Many were quick to jump on 10C and "the band" for this TM account mess. Perhaps there were phone calls made that we won't ever know about.

I hope if everyone's accounts continue to be unlocked there will be some walk back, but I'll be surprised if there is. There's always something to blame them for I guess.

An update from Tim Bierman/@Rubysdad would let us know if this was true. Happy to credit him if so. 

For what it’s worth I did reach out to him and Sarah Seilers. Figured they would be out of office for the holidays. Also possible TM was flooded with people contacting them about the problem. A few here and there might not make a difference but a bunch of ticket buyers blocked over the same events might have triggered something internally as a flag. We probably will never know but it’s probably some combination of the two.

TIL that 10C forum has a block function!

I saw those.  But now I see nothing because TM blocked me.  See you in May I guess!

Were you blocked before and they reblocked you? Or is this your first block?

Ugh. Hopefully, they have given up on permanent blocks. If so, it just might be a week or so. They really need to change whatever algorithm they are using to block humans. It can't seem to tell the difference between human speed and bot speed.

I just received a reply from TM two hours ago that my account will be remain blocked from making future ticket purchases. Is there any way to appeal again?

Long gone, but looking for 100s or GA for Raleigh N1.

Sorry to hear that. I hope it becomes temporary.

There are regular price uppers available for Raleigh night 2 on TM. 
Not sure if they have been there the whole time.

So if someone in here got those..after you click get tickets does it then ask about payment because i was expecting to see that on the initial screen

I got them. It was the second screen that had the payment and insurance information.

I didn’t get those but I clicked on the Raleigh link earlier. The next screen was the usual looking checkout page.

I am still locked out, my ticket after I filled out my questionnaire is still open, my payment information is gone. Still awaiting payment for day 1 sales. I'll say it again, fuck ticketmaster. 

I've got a list of emails and a written letter if you want. I'd give it a few more days. I got the rejection letter yesterday but they unblocked my account later in the evening. I think it's a matter of time for you. I'm guess thousand of accounts were blocked. If not that GA ticket..... . I think you will be fine.

No email from TM but I am back in…..for now. Did a quick look around at tickets. Is it just too far in advance still or is there really that much demand? I have back of lower bowl for Nashville 1&2, Raleigh 1, and Pittsburgh 2. Wondering if I should offload while demand is high and just assume more will pop when we get closer to the shows.

They have not and it’s a lot that opened up today and listed as Artist Presale. Before it was just one section on the bottom far left with limited views and singles. That show might be the low point for demand. Hoping for some of the better PJ premium to drop closer to show time or F2Fs. That gives me hope. Still looking for both Raleigh N1 for friends and N2 wishlist GA for myself. I did see the mythical GA x 2 for N2 last week but couldn’t cart them.

Super helpful for friends providing links to give a heads up on what time they will be dropping them prior to the drop if that can be managed

No harm in responding to that email disputing their reasoning. There is a chance (maybe good) that you will be unblocked in a week. I believe the earliest poster here was blocked on Friday and unblocked the following Thursday. I was Saturday to Thursday.

My account is back too! Of the thirteen that have mentioned it on the thread that makes four of us. Just as a finished a two page email to TM.  . Looks like they came to their senses or blocked the wrong person. Whatever it was I’m happy.

The only bright side was that I got to connect with some really great people here. You guys rock.

I think I’ll pause for a bit and start hunted after a month or two. Many you all find the shows of your hopes.

Also unblocked as of today.  A belated Festivus miracle!  The downside is that I am now gun shy on trying to upgrade Pitt 1 and search for Pitt 2.

Ok, as of 2:17 PST there are still no tickets for Pitt N1 and N2 only has premiums available. 😬

Thanks! I tried again. We’ll see. I’m glad your account was unblocked.

Nicely done. So we know it's not impossible after all
