    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.
    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. 
    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?
    You just had to sign up. It was on the VF landing page on Ticketmaster's website, they send out targeted emails to people who show interest in similar acts, etc. It wasn't a secret. VF sales are open to the public.

    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.
    This is correct. We understand how Verified Fan works and are not suggesting it should work any different. The 10C lotto sequencing vis a vis the VF registration period is what should be different.

    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."
    So to this end, and if I understand programming a little bit it could be that:
    Emails are marked as "verified fan" on one end and then a set of codes work for the event.  So to get tickets, both would have to be compliant and not tied to one another.

    So if someone has an extra Toronto, I'm willing to give it a shot.
    I've got some to trade for someone else that might want to try.

    Got my Hamilton and Toronto codes but won’t use them as I won the lottery for both.
    Same email or two separate emails?
    Same email.
    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.
    They come together.

    Gotcha, thanks. My quest for St Louis or bust continues...

    It would have been cool if the fan-to-fan marketplace had a barter or trade area so people could swap tickets to shows or something.

    I understand trying to combat scalping, but it this model is incredibly restrictive for honest people that just wanna swap tickets or send them to someone they are meeting at the show.

    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!
    Ahhh ok. Thanks for clarifying. Not that it makes any difference on my end, but good to know

    I used Verified Fan to get tickets to 2018 Wrigley 2. I received an email from Ticketmaster informing me about the process, because I had bought PJ tickets from TM in the past. This, they knew I was a fan. I wasn’t a 10c member at the time.  I assume this happened for people this time as well.

    Yes, i agree .^^^^ register after the 10C Lottery^^^

    People getting Codes for shows they already have tickets for, and some NOT getting a Code for shows they want.

    I cannot believe I did not win the New York Lotto.  Since I did not win last week in CT, I should have been given priority. 
    As much as you may want it to, the Ten club presale has NOTHING to do with the Ticketmaster Verified Fan presale.  It was GREAT that Ten Club let us know about it.

    It’s not that they weren’t given the opportunity - they just missed it. Just like several people on here did.

    Because you only won that many. I only got 3/4.
    Again, it clearly says you are receiving a code for each show you registered for. Not some of them, not one of them, not 3/4. Each of them. That is a false statement.
