My understanding is that all of GA are reserved for fan club only.

so if I am a valid Ten Club member (which I am), can I purchase the GA section tickets from Stubhub and gain legit entrance to GA section? (yes, I know the prices are high)

Thanks--

:corn:

They wouldn't know the difference if it was a real ticket/wristband; they don't check IDs at the door or anything ... But I'm convinced that none of them are real tickets. I think it's just scalpers making assumptions (at best).

yeah, I get that there is some stock market-esque shennanigans going on with puts and calls on tickets that don't seem to exist.

*sigh*

am i asking too many questions about this? I just don't want to waste my $$$ buying a ticket if it won't let me gain entry. Not trying to be a pain, but I don't like to throw money away.

You'll get your ticket. The starting price for tix on stubhub continues to drop, slowly but surely.

But you might also find a 10C ticket. I think some usually become available when people start finding out that their friends can't make it, etc.

Don't mind him.

Just don't buy a ticket from some dude on the street, and you'll be fine. You won't be denied entry ever if you have a ticket that isn't counterfeit.... If 10C found out you were breaking any ticket purchasing rules (i.e. scalping 10C tix) you could have your membership taken away though.

oh gosh, no... I am like a polly pure bred, I never break the rules and I would never scalp a ticket to make a buck. not bragging but I paid for my friend's ticket to a concert we went to a few months ago (over $500) cuz she was unemployed and couldn't afford a ticket and I like to be up front - she tried to pay me back, but I said no. What goes around comes around :-D

powers that be frown upon discussion of stub hub and ebay....they only support face value ticket sales.

i'm kind of curious, what the stance is on ticket sales below face value that occur on the secondary market. kat? sea? can you comment when you lox it? thanks

Well you don't have to draw attention to it.

I think it's okay if we talk about this, as long as no one is posting links or advertising stubhub tix, etc., no? ... I mean, they know some members are going to have to buy from the secondary market... It's not like anyone is happy about it. I think this thread is super useful because it gives people info on how this bullshit industry works, kind of like a warning!

no matter what, I will be perfectly happy just to be there and experience Wrigley and some really good sounds from PJ. But lets face it, for those of us who are willing and able to pay the *censored's* astronomical prices, you can bet we will pay them to get a closer seat to the stage.

kc007 · February 2013

maybe I should delete this thread... :crazy:

Yeah... That's why the industry can have such high prices, unfortunately.

I don't know how to delete this thread/topic. I tested deleting another thread I made, but this one doesn't have the box to check off to 'delete'. Do I need to have a moderator delete it? I just don't want it to cause strife. this is a happy forum. I don't want my questions ruffling feathers and such... :nono:

:corn: :shock:

I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. It's been here for quite a while, and they haven't locked it. There is no arguing, no links that aren't allowed.... It's a good conversation; no reason to delete it! If they want to lock it, they will (don't see why they would), but it's not like you'd get in trouble or anything. A PM pointing out any rule you may have broken maybe. But simply talking about the secondary market isn't against the rules (maybe it's in the wrong forum though). Anyway, you can't delete threads that others have contributed to. Even the mods can't do that I don't think.

Don't even mention those sites around here! According to 10c, stubhub and ebay don't exist.

you can only delete a thread before it has replies. you can pm a mod and ask them to, and I'm sure they'll happily oblige. I'm shocked this one isn't locked yet, to be honest. they don't even like the secondary market to be discussed.

Is it legit to purchase GA Field tickets from Stubhub?
