    It's kinda disappointing that you can't legally transfer your tiks through the Fan 2 Fan Exchange between someone of your own choosing. I mean seriously, if you have a friend or family member who wants to purchase your tik(s) from you at face value or, God forbid you want to gift someone with your tik you should be able to do so in the exchange without hassle or penalty. Tik holders should be able to trade their tiks with other tik holders if they want to switch seats etc. I mean really, what's the big deal there? Nobody is profiting from it and it's a private transaction between the two parties. 🤷‍♀️
    Well, because people could easily profit from it. If you can pick who to send the tickets to, you just made a scalper's life a whole lot easier for every show.
    I'm talking about a sale or a tik swap through the Fan 2 Fan Exchange so nobody can profit from it. You'd be selling that tik to your friend or family member through the exchange for the original tik price, nothing more. As for a direct tik swap (my seats for your seat or my date for your date) you'd literally be just transferring the tiks from one person to the other through the Fan 2 Fan system with no money exchanged. Anyways it's just a thought. 
    I know what you mean but if you think beyond your own innocent intent, it would be very easy for a scalper to exploit such a system and get paid extra via Venmo or whatever to direct tickets towards a specific person.

    There would still be side deals though forcing you to pay extra to get access to those tickets from scalpers. Of course being able to transfer to a family or friend would be great but it would be easily abused. Also would you not trust your family member with your TM account? I would. 
    I dunno man, I have some pretty scummy cousins. And a weird uncle or two.

    Easy everyone, I haven't done anything, it was just an idea. Relax.  I've been a member since the early 90s and have always done the right thing. I'm not out here to make money off of these as people are assuming. I'm talking maybe a few drinks and dinner as a concellation for hooking someone up.  Just like a friend would do if you hooked them up because you helped them out.

    "I'm not out here to make money just a hundred bucks or so in drinks and dinner on top of the cost of the tickets"

    The admins have made it clear, anything other than straight face value cash for tickets is not ok. No merch, no other side extras.

    Well this went sideways really fast. To make this perfectly clear, I was talking a few drinks and chicken fingers, some face to face talk with a real Pearl Jam fan. I wasn't asking for a steak dinner at the capital grille or anything. At this point I'm willing to just give them to friends who probably don't know more than 5 songs. I understand a lot of people got screwed by the system and I was trying to help someone out. But with the backlash, I'm done trying.

    What show is it, by the way? Unless it's Denver or MSG you wouldn't be able to transfer them to someone on here anyway. Chicken fingers and other concellations aside.

    It's a slippery slope. First it's chicken fingers, then it's a chicken sandwich. Before you know it, bam, french onion soup, chicken parm and a handy.

    It’s face value only.  Offering incentives, merch, etc is not ok. Discussing circumventing the policy is not ok. Please see the rules.
    Thank you
