    I don’t think you’ll have a hard time reselling in February. The rate it’s going right now, I’ll buy em.
    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
    you're the only one who can forgive yourself oh yeah...
    makes much more sense to live in the present tense...

    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.

    Your 10C tickets have no bearing on any VF tickets. Your 10C order will not be canceled.

    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.

    Are the tickets on VF/ TM the same price as 10C?  Honestly I have never made it to the VF invite before!
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!
