I am thinking of getting Vancouver tickets, or at least attempting to obtain tickets at the sale today. Right now, I’m 50/50 on getting to Vancouver as my wife and I are still deciding to not only go to the show but also visit the city. That said, we don’t want to miss the show if we do go. I know Ten Club mentioned the tickets are non transferable but, I know people have had similar issues where tickets were bought and then due to circumstance couldn’t go. I was wondering if anyone was able to transfer their purchase to another member for face value and the ten club allowing the switch?
Any info or insight on this possibility would be appreciated. I certainly don’t want to lose money if I can’t go, as well as, have another fan miss out on the experience because I couldn’t use the tickets.
Thanks,
Jeff

They allowed me to do it in 05 when I couldn't go to the Canadian shows, but I have the feeling that they are stricter on it now. They may still do it on a case by case basis or they may not. I think the ticket rules do say non transferrable so you may be out of luck if you can't go. Always best to contact them directly for something like this. Good luck!

Just make up some sob story about how you broke your legs a couple days before and
can't travel and they may take pity on you.
I'd say, if you have any chance you won't be attending, assume you will lose your tickets and get no refund.

I didn't have a great number maybe that's why they let me do it
If they are fan club tickets he has to be the one to pick them up.
Since their official announcement says "Tickets are non-refundable, non-exchangeable, non-transferable, no exceptions. Please make absolutely sure you are able to attend the concert before purchasing tickets" I can't imagine them telling you anything different.
Except for the part where he actually has to be present in Vancouver with his ID to pick them up.
for the least they could possibly do
I did this a few years back, but basically I just couldn't go, so I called and had them transferred into my mom's name so she and my dad could go instead. I don't know if that was a different circumstance because of the family/same last name thing, but it worked out well. Good luck!

+1, very, very true.
Yeah, seems as though he's only sticking it to himself at this point, but I'd think it would be a pretty easy solution to maybe run a short "wait list" or something for each show for 10C seats that need to be relinquished last minute for extenuating circumstances. To me, it benefits people who couldn't get tickets and also at least could relieve the financial burden someone who becomes unable to go would be facing.

:!: You will be able to resell your tickets if you purchase them from Ticketmaster. Word of advice, get "hard" tickets, not print at home tickets.
From a business standpoint, it makes sense to not allow transfers. You make money from the original sale and then again when the ticket window closes-I'm sure they sell the seats to anyone waiting that wants them. Can't imagine the tickets going to waste.
I get it from a business perspective. But, the tickets do in fact go to waste if the person who bought them cannot claim them and that's the hole that hasn't been (and likely won't ever be) plugged.

Nor should it be. If you open up that Pandora's box, you'll get a bunch of situations like the OP where people will secure tickets just in case they can make it. In addition to creating more work for the Ten Club, it would vastly increase the number of people trying for a show and lessen the chances for someone who could definitely make it.
If transfers and a wait list were part of the policy, can you imagine people going bananas when one person's tickets got transferred, but their's didn't and they had to eat the cost? Ideally you'd like to see it ok if people were only transferring for extenuating circumstances, but it will undoubtedly get abused en masse if they even hint at allowing it.
Agreed. Otherwise people will hoard these tickets even if they aren't sure they can't make it. I agree it sucks in extraneous situations not in your control (like death in the family) but it becomes administratively complex if you make exceptions. I do hope that they make exceptions for unavoidable emergencies though.

Look - pretty sure we agree here. Unless 10C wants to take that extra customer service step and give their customers an "out" should something come up last-minute, then their policy is what it is and that's that. I'm not talking about people being non-committal with wanting to go to the show or not but with people who have legitimate things that come up and would like a way for their seats (that they likely F5'd for a day and paid handsomely for) not go to waste and to another 10C member who wasn't fortunate enough to get 10C tickets of their own.
If there was a way (some 'hotline' or email inbox specifically for these types of issues) where someone can literally assign their own 10C tickets to another member (and only another 10C member) by username/10C# without them having to monitor any $ changing hands, I don't see how that would be difficult to pull off. It would rely on a "good faith" that the ticket recipient pays the original holder back (at face value), but no need for 10C to get involved with that end of it (that's what paypal is for). All they have to do is either answer a phone call or email, verify through payment history that the person requesting the switch is the 10C member and not some imposter, and then simply change the name on a ticket envelope day of show. Doesn't seem that hard to me for the maybe handful of people each show who end up in lousy situations that require these things to happen. Having my 10C tickets go to waste would be kicking me while I was down if I were to end up in a position where I couldn't use them.
