I'd love if they would sell single tickets, however I have to say I've made some friends from selling/trading tickets that I would not have ever crossed paths with if there was the option to purchase single tickets.
Wasted both of my spare tickets for Oslo and Vienna. No one interested even to give away.
That's crazy and shitty.
It happens though unfortunately!! think of the spares that are being wasted which others could have had in the lottery. I didn't want to waste mine but had no choice - these spares could have made up pairs for other fans who missed out in the lottery. I would be reluctant to book travel, hotels etc without having firm confirmation from 10c that I have a ticket. People get ill, things crop up and your ticket buddy may not be able to make the pick up. Singles make sense to me - it's not rocket science!!
Yeah, i get it. I favour single sales too I think, although I can also see what could be lost if they went that way (the magic of ticket buddies, lol. I have booked flight and hotel before having a ticket because of my faith in finding a 10c ticket buddy). But obviously if tickets are going to waste because they don't sell singles, that is a big point for starting.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata
I usually ask my best friend if he wants the other 10C ticket if the show is near where we both live. He gets first right of refusal. Then I ask another friend if he wants it or not.
If worse comes to worse, I post the extra ticket on the forum and it is usually gone within a few days of posting. Finding a 10C buddy isn't too hard and meeting them is cool.
