Listed 2 tix in 106 for Nashville N1 and got the sold email 1 minute after listing. I tried coordinating two F2F sales last leg with a guy at a very early morning time and my tix sold before he could get them. I know a lot of people are looking for tix but I firmly believe it's not humans scooping up the F2F tix. Most everything about this system sucks for the fans.
I grabbed a 200’s pair for N2 earlier and was able to resell my 300’s. A heads up and a link posted here when listing helps others looking for tickets.
Did you pay with PayPal or card? I'm trying to determine which is faster.
Any links/heads up will be greatly appreciated. Happy Christmas!
your best bet is to keep that show open in a tab on your computer and randomly check throughout the day.

The best way to fight the bots and scalpers is to provide a very specific time as to when you are going to list your tickets. For example, posts like this.. "I am going to list two seats in section XXX for Pittsburgh night 1 at exactly 5:30pm est". Doing this lets fans that are here be ready to grab them. Even better, select a fan here and give them that info privately in a PM.

Not sure. Anyone can monitor this board, including scalpers. Best is probably to just post a link.
Anyone wants to send me a message when they are going to drop some 4/24 tickets, I would really appreciate it!

sure but it increases the odds. I got GA for U2 at Sphere multiple times because fans followed this strategy. Sure I missed a few times, but I got them a few times as well. It helps

Apples and oranges. Certain dates had high demand, but GA tickets for some of those shows didn't sell instantly and even sold below face value on secondary sites.

It works a hell of a lot better than "I just posted tickets for sale, here is a link". Knowing they are going up BEFORE they get listed is a big advantage. Then you can F5 at the proper time
I'm still trying to figure out what a PJ Premium ticket even is. What's "premium" about it other than listing it for 5x face value for a random seat? I also wonder if the band even cares anymore how they bend over the fan club.
Lol stop posting tickets, no ones getting them. It’s the same shit as last year
I got tix from a link here earlier today, and carted another pair of tix from a link here today but released because the date was wrong. are you ok?
Dude I’m great how are you? If some are hitting that’s great…just curious are people hitting uppers or also lowers? This ain’t my first or second rodeo, bots were/are scooping up pairs until a few weeks before show date. If there’s more winners now then that’s great news.
There will always be bots but it seems like you're trying to discourage people from giving us a heads up when there are people up and down this thread that are successful that way, myself included. I hit 2 floor tickets because a 10c poster told us all exactly what time they'd be released.

Premium literally means more expensive. The band knows this. I was under the impression they conceded those to get more tickets allotted to 10C, but I could be mistaken on that

I know it doesn't look this way now, but most tickets overall are not premium. Only 10% are premium while the rest are capped at 185. At least the band cares enough to do this.
For Paul McCartney there is no cap. It's always dynamic pricing. When I saw him two and a half year ago the cheapest were 250 wayyyyy up in the rafters.

Good seats are getting sniped by bots even when there's a heads up BEFORE they are listed. F5 doesn't work anymore. It used to. With the link, you can theoretically purchase before the bot has a chance.

The other option a lot of bands do is vastly increase the cost of the first 5-10 rows and include packages of merch with them.
Whereas the last rows might be $60-70, closer areas might be up to $250, the first rows might be $800...with the group's new CD, a poster and a meet-and-greet or maybe a pre-show buffet.
(The real deal is waiting and buying those $800 tickets for far less a day or two before the show on third party sites, but without the extra stuff.)

I'm old enough to remember when PJ at least acted like they cared about their fan base. I wish they would do 1 tour where they catered to the 10c who have been faithful for decades. Allocate the entire arena for 10c first and if there is still 5k seats remaining, THEN open it up to the general public. They would still get the same revenue, correct? I don't get why they only provide such a small number of seats for 10c. Its not like they are a new band. These dudes are 60. They aren't exactly attracting a new fan base at this point.

TM has clearly taken a lazy scattershot approach to this so they can say they're doing 'something' to combat bots. But it doesn't work. Bots still get tickets, and lots of humans get blocked for demonstrating behaviors that are necessary to have any chance at beating bots.

Yes SHZA is right, and late nights are not working either, BOTS seem to be always on. So until Pearl Jam plays Fresno again, we need share links.. spread the word..
I was pretty close to 100% successful with a link sent via PM last tour. Links shared on the board were tougher, but they mostly went to a faster club member, which was great to see.

Why would it matter? People could still resell the tickets same as now. Just because 10c would get more seats doesn't change anything regarding ticketbastard
