    So with all this fan to fan resale talk, could a non 10C member grab the 10C tickets if I chose to post them?
    Theoretically, but this has never been done before and info is limited so no one is sure of the details.

    I got TC tix for Baltimore and won verified presale opp for Baltimore. I also registered for MSG and Nashville for both TC and TM and didn’t get a code. Bizarre process.

    Same here. Won lottery tickets for STL and only got a presale code for STL when I know for certain I chose OKC as well..... and OKC was one of the shows with the best odds so I find it hard to believe I got shut out due to demand for the presale..... I hate it bc now I just have an STL code I don't even need.

    I am very fortunate to have received a code for Toronto and Hamilton after already receiving Reserved seats for those two same shows in the 10C presale --- however the timing of telling 10C members where their seats are located AFTER the TM onsales makes it very hard to know what to do if decent tickets appear in the presale which may be way better than the location of the 10C tickets you may be receiving a week later (for example, if I get "seats" on the floors behind the GA's they are basically useless to me for seeing anything hence why I "request" reserved seats but there is always a risk I will get those kind of (back of the floor) tickets -- or potentially high rows in the upper level as we have been told that 10C seats will be further back than in the past).  I know one can always lay out the extra $300C or so for a pair on Thursday or Friday and then resell the "worse" pair on the TM exchange in February but it definitely is a cumbersome process especially if the seats you get from 10C are "bad" ones which may be tougher to get rid of on the exchange when all tickets are priced the same amount -- my bet is getting rid of "bad" seats for some shows that aren't MSG or Baltimore won't get snapped up right away on the exchange as people will wait to hope better ones appear for the same amount all the way until the day or so before the show (as I can't even sell my tickets for less than face value to try to get rid of them if they happen to be not so great ones). In previous iterations I know that 10C members did not find out about their tickets until the day of the show, but at least any others that were purchased on TM could be transferred to other members easily or even the hard copy 10C tickets could be exchanged with someone on the day of the show at the venue in a much easier process than now which would require you to enter with the other parties even if you aren't going to the show with them per se.  I know it's all "first world" problems as all of this stuff are luxuries and not necessities, but for all the "improvements" they have apparently made in the system, there are still some obvious issues that will arise using this methodology of ticket distribution.....

    I don’t think you’ll have a hard time reselling in February. The rate it’s going right now, I’ll buy em.

    Some of you people really need to learn to read and do a minuscule amount of investigation on your own. 

    I received a confirmation email, what does that mean?

    It means that we successfully received your registration. The email is simply to inform you of that. It doesn’t however, guarantee you’ll receive an invitation to shop. Once we get closer to the Verified Fan ticket sale, you’ll receive an email with additional information about your invitation status.

     

    Does registering mean I get a Verified Fan access code?

    Access codes are never guaranteed, and due to anticipated demand and limited supply, fans are selected at random to receive an invitation to shop.

     

    Does getting an access code mean I will get tickets?

    Receiving an access code means that you’ll have the opportunity to shop for tickets. However, the ability to purchase tickets is determined by supply and demand, and is not guaranteed. Tickets are available on a first come, first served basis.

    So many questions, so few brain cells  :|

    Hypothetically, say I already have 2 x 10c tix to Hamilton (hopefully GA) and I buy 2 VF tix with my code tomorrow....I should be able to walk in with 3 other people right? 2 of us go to the 10c seats/GA  and 2 go to the VF seats (with screenshots I guess once in). What about giving my TM log in to someone else to use the VF tix (family, no account security concerns). Would separate entries on same account get flagged?

    I hope you're right but my guess is that really crappy seats on the exchange won't be flying off the shelves in February (for most shows outside of MSG/Balt/Denver) as most rational people would say that for the "same money" I may as well try to get the best tickets I can on the exchange and wait as long as possible before buying "bad seats" that way (as obviously the prices won't be decided by their market value, and thus bad and good seats will all be priced the same)....so if you get "bad" 10C seats you may be left holding the bag on those ones as you have no real mechanism to price your "bad" seats down accordingly to get rid of them if necessary, and cannot easily transfer them to someone at the venue when you're there if you're still stuck with them.

    I think the person who was asking a few pages ago how NY tickets can be transferred was not literally asking how to transfer as some people have interpreted the question but WHY those tickets can be transferred.  I believe it has to do with a law or regulation in NY state.

    So if someone is wanting to go to the same 2 shows that I’m wanting to go to, which is  Nashville and St.Louis, and I have landed extra tix to Nashville and need tix to St.Louis and another member ends up with the opposite situation, we meet up at both shows and walk each other in? Could work right?

    Yes. Until you get them in the first show and they ditch you on the second.

    Ha, unfortunately I have Nashville which is before St.Louis. I would consider this to a member of the 10C though.

    For NYC & Denver you’ll be able to transfer tickets or if you wanted to be nefarious you’ll be able to post on any resale site.
    or you can come to terms and realize

    This is all exactly WHY free markets work better than anything else...I appreciate PJ's valiant efforts to try to make things fair, but life isn't fair, socialism doesn't work, while free-market price signals actually do make sense...yes, it's "unfair" if people with more money (or more desire to be close to their favorite band) get better seats, but it just makes sense that the best seats should cost the most, and the worst seats the least...by forcing everything to be the same price, it's actually making it harder for everyone, and there will be the dreaded "winners" and "losers" in the end...feel the burn, baby, burn...

    I already have two for Baltimore through the fan club - if I buy four using the verified Ticketmaster presale tomorrow for friends does that disqualify me from using my fan club tickets? Tickets haven't shown up in my Ticketmaster account yet. Trying not to screw myself.

    No it shouldn't. 

    If you are unsure, and didn't gain any information from the email, or from the many threads on this subject, then you should probably hang tight with the tickets you did win, and not take a chance on getting lucky with tickets you don't need.  just my 2 cents.

    Just to clarify a bit...10C has partnered with TM but it is still a 10C lottery, bound by 10C rules. It is not a TM sale or affiliated with TM in any way other than they are the “3rd party” helping 10C out. Just like in years past when you could win 10C tickets but also try for the VF or general sale, the same rules apply here.
