    I’ve got codes for Ottawa, Quebec City, Hamilton and Oakland April 19.
    looking to trade for Toronto.
    let me know
    Codes are non-transferable. Code and email need to match.
    I’m not totally sure about that.
    You should be. It was on the TM website and in the email received when you registered.
    It is literally in every piece of information about Verified Fan. That's one of the biggest ways they combat scalping.

    I enjoy how the email says you get a code for each show you registered for. Yet I got one code when I registered for multiple shows.

    Stinks the code only works for 1 show. I don’t even need a code for the show I put in for since I won 10c seats. Would rather swap my Forum1 code for MSG
    This now seems like a huge flaw in the process. They need to allow a mechanism where members who strike out in the lotto can put in for presale codes for shows they lost. 
    They are 2 completely different things. Neither has anything to do with the other. 

    Not really, though, since this seems to be mainly for the 10C members who missed out. So, if we got tickets to a show, why give us the chance to buy MORE for that show instead of people who got shut out, and vice versa? There are people who got tickets to MSG who are getting VF codes for MSG. What sense does that make?
    Dude, Verified Fan is NOT mainly for 10C members who missed out. It is the standard Ticketmaster pre-sale for all major acts to combat scalpers and bots. You're talking about something you know nothing about and it shows. They are as separate as two things can be.
    Yes, I think the point is that it would be nice if they could sequence the events such that it would provide us an opportunity to buy shows we missed on in the lotto, rather than doubling up on our first choice. 
    Verified fan has NOTHING to do with ten club or anything part of the band. It’s 100% a Ticketmaster think. They use it for all major shows. They aren’t changing it for ten club people. We all got first shot to score.  

    I don't think they'd have to change anything - just let people register AFTER the lottery.

    But you had to be a 10c member to register for TM verified. The lottery and the TM verified came in the same email. 
    No, you 100% didn't. It is a public pre-sale. Just because information came in the email doesn't mean it was just for 10C members.

    It's remarkable how people think the world revolves around their fan club membership.

    There is the possibility that the codes work for everyone that is registered as a verified fan, not just tied to their verified fan email directly.

    Oh no that’s not the answer I was looking for.

    You were holding out hope you'd get another email for another show? :(

    For reference, it looks like this for me:


    (Codes have been scrubbed out of the shot)

    Any idea if US shows come with Canadian shows in the same e-mail? Or is it separate like the 10 club requests? I got an Ottawa code but haven't seen anything on the US dates I requested presale for.

    Because you only won that many. I only got 3/4.

    I really feel bad for anyone that lost the 10C lotto and didn't get a code.

    10 Club absolutely did announce the Verified Fan process in the same email as the lottery. But, the Verified Fan process was available to everyone, not just 10 Club members. The public could use the same link you received to sign up for Verified Fan, and it was publicized in additional ways, not just the 10 Club email. Hope that helps!

    Here's the complete info from the Ticketmaster Verified Fan Presale email I just received. Some important points to take note of:

    "Tickets go on sale tomorrow at 10am local venue time at Ticketmaster.com. There is a four (4) ticket limit per access code. Tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, and are not guaranteed.

    You will only be allowed to shop for the shows listed above. If you try to shop for a different show, you will get an error message and will not be able to proceed to the Waiting Room.


    Important Steps for a Smoother Waiting Room & Purchase Experience

    1. Sign in With Your Verified Fan Email and Password
    Using a different email and password will result in errors and delays.

    2. Join the Waiting Room at Least 10 Minutes Early
    This will allow us to provide you a place in line when the sale begins.

    3. Only Shop on One Browser/Device
    Shopping for the same show from multiple browsers or devices will likely result in an error and make it impossible to get tickets.

    4. Make Checkout a Breeze
    Review your Stored Billing to confirm your credit card is valid and billing address is up-to-date.


    Important Steps for a Smoother Waiting Room & Purchase Experience
    Ticketmaster has partnered with Pearl Jam to make sure fans get their tickets at face value. To achieve this, Pearl Jam has directed that tickets be non-transferable.* On the night of the show, all guests will be required to enter with the ticket purchaser. For fans that cannot use the tickets they have purchased, Pearl Jam and Ticketmaster will offer a Fan-to-Fan Face Value Ticket Exchange* beginning February 18. There will be no additional fees charged to Exchange users for buying or selling tickets on the Exchange.

    *Does not apply to shows in New York or Colorado.


    SafeTix™ Will Be Used For Ticket Delivery For All Shows
    All Pearl Jam shows will be powered by Ticketmaster SafeTix. It’s a new kind of ticket that uses a unique barcode that automatically refreshes every few seconds so it cannot be screenshot or counterfeited. No other tickets will be accepted for entry."

    Honestly I think you get one email for all the cities you've been picked for.

    Dude, Verified Fan is NOT mainly for 10C members who missed out. It is the standard Ticketmaster pre-sale for all major acts to combat scalpers and bots. You're talking about something you know nothing about and it shows. They are as separate as two things can be.

    No, you 100% didn't. It is a public pre-sale. Just because information came in the email doesn't mean it was just for 10C members. 
    I’m seeing posts all over the place (mostly Facebook) from non 10c members who weren’t given the opportunity to do TM verified. How do others get access to it?

    If you weren’t signed up for PJ email list you might never have found out about the VF presale.
