ok I'm going to ask two stupid questions.

When and how do they get our smart phone # to send tickets if we win? I didn't see anywhere when i put my choices in.

Also if I win 10C tickets can I still get extra tickets to the same show via Ticketmaster?

"Mobile only tickets: No physical tickets. No mobile phone number required. Tickets will be accessible through your smartphone web browser. Step-by-Step instructions on how to access the tickets on your smartphone via a provided secure online account will be emailed to you in early July."

I absolutely love that we will now our seats two months before the show as opposed to the day of

Not a fan of this new system as it will be near impossible selling tickets if you can't attend yourself. I know, I know, that's not the point of buying tenclub seats but stuff happens from between now and then. I had tickets for both Fenway shows in 2016 but my grandmother passed away a week before night 1, so I had to make an adjustment.

My wife dropped her phone in the toilet at Murphy's Bleachers before one of the last Wrigley shows. That would be a major problem with the new format...

I like that, and as I have said a lot.... I like the 'you buy it, you better use the ticket(s)' policy....

But itll kind of suck if I get the back of the floor somewhere and cant within the rules find a seated area. Seat. Im 5'5", so back of the floor is basically a show-ruiner. At least picking the tickets up day of the show, its a 'thems the breaks' kind of thing. Now, Ill have to fester for months.

You could have procrastinated joining for 27 years and fester with the worst seats forever. But they're still seats!

The only way I could even see that working would be if u met someone that had the tickets you wanted and walked in together. Ga vs reserved kinda thing. But if you can't go at all due to anything unforseen assume u r sol?

I'm wondering if maybe they'll institute a fan/10C resale (like how Newport Folk Festival does), so you can only send to other members of the same group, and only for face value.

That's a major problem even without the new format

My thought is about seating once your in the stadium. Last time at Fenway my seats put me on the field, every time you left for a beer or bathroom you needed your ticket to re-enter the field. If this is the case it is going to cause a shit show getting back to your seats, especially with the lights out during the show. People fumbling around trying to unlock their phones to show security. Also, if you go in with your buddy and never transfer the extra ticket to their phone don't you run the risk of having to go with them every time they need to use the bathroom or get a drink? how do they get back to your seats with no ticket? Or god forbid your phone dies, cause nobody will be taking pictures or videos before/during the show.

With that said, good for 10C for putting the tickets in the fans hands...no system is perfect and I will take getting tickets over the alternative(although having a physical ticket is nice for sentimental value!)

Love Newport's system but don't like the idea for 10C. Their new system is intended to discourage hoarding/multiple accounts and that sort of model would actively incentivize it.

Just as big an issue as someone losing their paper tickets after picking them up at willcall.

People are just still bummed that they effectively got shut down from gaming the system to some extent. My wife and I each have accounts so that we can both make a GA 1 pick. Went 1-1 with those picks and picked up reserve on the one that didn't get GA since it was a choice 2.
I tried to come up with all the different ways it could be formatted to play the extra picks card but in every way possible I ate at least 1 if not more tickets.

Long story short the change worked just as intended. We put in for what we were going to use no more no less. Won big on one and won smaller on the other. Way better than the years that we were shut out.

Agreed now if we could everyone else to be on board with this. Facebook is littered with people trying to dump pairs.

Quite a roll of the dice to buy someone's reserved pair right now and assume everything will go smoothly.

I do see a bit of it on facebook and even here... but it is a small fraction of what I have noticed in the past.

Wait until the verified sale is done and they upgrade. It will get worse I am afraid.

Jvfireman416 · February 2018

What is the official Facebook page?

Jvfireman416 · February 2018

The only way that I can see selling or trading tickets working out is that you have to have multi GA to the same show and can sell the extra from each set. Otherwise the buyer pair has to be escorted to their seats and then hope that the guest ticket can be used by both seats if they have to leave.... What a pain in the balls.

Yes, I'm curious how this works for reasons you mention - because if don't enforce seeing tickets then just have people sneaking into front sections. There is going to be a lot of stories coming out of Seattle night 1 and hopefully everyone is wise enough to adjust.

Yea, are they doing away with GA wristbands? If so how will they keep GA kosher? Again, checking phones throughout the show is going to cause a massive backup I feel, I know its similar to a ticket, but every phone is different, some people wont have it out, some old security guard wont know where to look....just seems like it could be a mess. I'm sure they have done it before, but Ive never been to an E-Ticket only show, anyone have stories?!

What I've seen at other E-ticket, FlashSeats & credit card entry shows is after your mobile device is scanned...
you will be given a printed seat slip.
It looks like one of the credit card receipts you get at the gas pump,
and you will that you will use this to find your seat and for re-entry if you leave the stands for restroom breaks or beer runs.
I'm sure they'll be using wristbands for the GA section as well!!
