Hey everyone,

I have been in the 10C for well over a decade now and I can't make the trip from Toronto to Tampa on June 12.

Is there anything I can possibly do?


If anyone can answer this one I would appreciate it greatly.

Thanks,
Eric

    as someone said in another thread.. "hope you are hungry, cause you're eating those tickets."

    unless someone looks like you and you are giving someone your ID, sounds like you are out of luck. I hope i dont run into the same situation.
    I have planned a family vacation around this tour, and we havent bought airline tickets yet; my wife gets discount $40 roundtrip tickets, except we have to fly stand-by. Im going to WPB and Tampa both via 10C; hopefully I wont be eating mine too.

    Good luck.

    This sucks. I spent over $1000 on a trip to SF to see Ed. If I could do Florida for a couple days I would spend maybe $400. Shit, if I could trade for NYC tix I would drive there just to see the show.

    At the very least you should email the 10 club and give tell your story.
    Maybe if they hear enough bitching they will realize they are ripping people off!

    Also, I heard if you have a medical excuse they will help you out. So I would wait until just before the show and make up some BS medical reason you can't go and see what happens.

    unless, you wait around the 10c booth... cos this would mean a pair would be released after no one picks them up wouldnt it?

    I think you are SOL. I have been trying to get tickets transferred from another member for a couple of weeks with no luck. They said no transfers this year and I think they were serious this time :(

    They are keeping the original purchasers money without giving them any alternatives if they can't physically pick up the tickets themselves.
    Then the 10c resells the tickets the night of the show.

    They could easily give people refunds on their credit cards and charge
    a restocking fee to cover the extra expense. Getting something back
    is better than zero.

    As I have stated a few times in threads on thie subject, there are ways that they can make everyone happy - ie: transfer tickets without walking in to scalping issues - but any way of doing so would cause a lot of administrative work for the 10C, which i assume they can't be bothered with.

    well, they certainly can't be bothered with it until AFTER my poster issue has been resolved :D

    Or they could create a waiting list as soon as 10C tix sell out and then transfer tickets to people on that list, in order, for a small admin fee (chargted to the transferor). Sure, the tickets will already be sorted and some people will beneift from the switch, but big deal. Prevents someone from being out $150 and, more inportantly, it prevents a pair of great 10C tix from sitting empty during a show when there are many people around here who would love to be sitting in them...
    I think that's what they did last year. Heard about a waiting list for Wembley, and people who got tickets that way.

    But this year they seem really saying NO.

    I'm worried about the idea of them reselling tickets that have not been picked up.. there's long travel to do in between some of the shows, delays might happen..I'd be VERY pissed off if I'd arrive at a show at the last minute (no intention to, but you never know) and they re-sold my ticket :mad:

    10C tickets have been going fast for a lot of shows these days. Lots of people are getting shut out. I think the sort of behavior they're attempting to discourage is people snapping up tickets, figuring out later if they can get to the show, and then crying for help when they can't pull it together. Legitimate reasons will pop up, but there always seems to be a ton of the former.

    They tell you UP FRONT and BEFORE you make the purchase, that there are no refunds or exchanges. If one can't exercise a little restraint with their credit card, bitching at the Ten Club about it is completely unreasonable.

    Unless Im mistaken the rules said very clearly that there were NO TRANSFERS so if you can't make it don't buy them because you will lose your tickets if you can not attend....if this was disclosed before the purchase I don't see how anyone not being allowed the transfer is getting ripped off...

    To the initial poster... I hope they allow you to transfer your tickets, it sux to miss the show and lose the money too :(
