Yeah, but only NYC & Denver are on Stubhub/SeatGeek, not every show. Trying to find 2 for Quebec!bbiggs said:I’m starting to think people would actually SAVE money by paying StubHub prices, given the amount of time, energy and resources being put into this.0 -

Phase 1 is complete - they have sell buttons on the website.

How would that empower a scalper.given2fly23 said:
What you're saying would reduce scalpers would actually empower them by allowing side deals. It should be random timing (once you confirm you're selling, the tickets will be available within 24 hours or something) so that side deals are less likely.Vedd Hedd said:
Fair enough, but this is where F2F should REALLY be more....fan to fan....tdawe said:
This is correct but people have been pegging all of their hopes on this exchange mechanism. A little wishful thinking is understandable.Vedd Hedd said:I'm just curious....did people expect hundreds of tickets to be available as of a certain time today? I never got that impression when this was discussed previously. I assumed the site would launch at some point.....and then over time, as people want/need to list their tickets...they put them for sale. My guess is that MOST of the time there WONT be anything listed. I mean....take "St Louis" for example....
Out of all the tickets sold for St Louis.....how many people have just now decided they cant go to the show, or decided they no longer want to go? that number has to be REALLLLY low, right?
Except for the people who are hoping for face value MSG tickets to somehow fall into their lap. That’s a lot of wishful thinking.
If I had tickets i needed to sell (I dont), I would come on here and see who is looking to buy. Then I would just say to them, "Hey, I am going to post these at 3:45pm."
That way, they could get them, face value, and I know they arent going to a scalper.
BUUUT. Is there a delay when I post my tickets? If i post them at 3:45, will they show up immediately, or after 5-10 minutes, etc?
Lets say you were searching for 2 tickets to St Louis. And I was going to sell my 2 tickets.
I could find you on here, message you in private and say, "I am going to list my tickets at XXX time."
Then you go on and look for them.
Instead of me just posting them without telling anyone. Again, this would all be at face value.Turn this anger into

The idea of coordinating when to post tix so someone else could buy them will never work. There are so many of us out here who will grab them first.0

I used to be a blackhawks season ticket holder, and tm had their own resale site. I would list some for sale, and it would be available within 5-10 minutes. So, this sounds like its similar?UseUrIllusions said:

Wait...I think I get what you are saying now....
If a scalper bought standard tickets...(or 10C tickets) and they wanted to sell them....THEY would be the ones doing the side deals...and you are saying that random times would make it harder for Scalper A to get it to Customer A.Turn this anger into

Yup, I've sold fan-to-fan on TM before, and other than the face value resell this is exactly the same.Vedd Hedd said:

Right. You post that you're selling Tix. I PM you and say in addition to buying the Tix I'll send you extra $$$ or buy you beers or a poster. Eliminating communication between the buyer & seller like StubHub used to do prevents side deals.Vedd Hedd said:Wait...I think I get what you are saying now....

Gotcha. I am thinking about this more from a real 10C fan to 10C fan.given2fly23 said:

rest assured, if I ever have tickets to sell, I will still find someone on here and try to give them a heads up that I am selling. And I dont want to make money off it. I would just want it to go to a fan who wants to see the show.Turn this anger into
