Fan-to-Fan Ticket Exchange for Dummies

Also, they really shouldn't let people get all the way to the end and then say someone beat you. Once you get passed verifying your ticket that should be it and you are golden. ridiculous they let everyone put it into their cart at the same timeKababik91701 said:The fan to fan system is a joke man. unless you have no life and can sit there refreshing for hours while signed into your TM account with your CC info saved and security code memorized you stand no chance. I even had a fellow PJ member text me right when they listed them and i was still beat out.I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on....0 -
Just trying to help. I've seen people mention that they have to enter their CC info...the only info I had to enter was the CV 3 digit on the back of my card as my card info is saved on Ticketmaster. This will increase your odds dramatically. I, like everyone here, tried for the past 2 days and ended up winning Baltimore yesterday. I also positioned my mouse in the middle of my screen where the "Got It" pops up so it would help shave off milliseconds as we've all seen milliseconds matter. Good luck everyone...don't give up!1992: Raleigh, NC Lollapalooza

Same exact set up here. Just missed the Baltimore GA. I know I was close because it was a different error code.Sorrels said:That's exactly what I've been doing and was able to get two pairs of tickets this morning. Much better than have to constantly click and I've got it open on another monitor at my desk and just keep an eye on it as much as possible. Have it set to refresh every 5 seconds.0 -
I'm telling you: given how this is turning out, with most people looking down the barrel of spending days/weeks/months chasing these tickets, it's better the way it is. When the tickets drop you shoot your one shot, and if you don't get them immediately you move on to the next one. In regular TM on-sales where people can put the tickets in a cart and then take their time, you have to keep trying for several minutes to make sure they don't fall out again. The cart system works better for the big regular sales because you don't have to miss out on other seats while you waste your time entering CCV codes and making insurance choices for tickets that are already gone. But for these tickets dropping 1 or 2 at a time, where there's no opportunity cost for going through two additional screens before you get the bad news, I think this makes it better not worse.ritg19 said:Also, they really shouldn't let people get all the way to the end and then say someone beat you.

Looking for a single Phoenix GA. Is there anyone else looking for the same? Maybe we can partner up on the F5 mission we are all on, and help each other out if we score?! let me know!0

Keep trying everyone! I think that the interface doesn't allow you to keep tickets in your account for a specified time because its geared towards sellers, not buyers. For other shows, keeping tickets in your cart while you think about it, then releasing them, might mean that another potential buyer doesn't see them and they end up back on the exchange (as a seller, this isn't ideal). Its frustrating for these shows because inventory is basically zero for most shows.

When I was telling my wife about this process last night she made a pretty good point. She said why not just do like 2 drops a day for all the people that put their tix up for sale. Save us all some time and reduce the strain on the servers (not that I care about this at all).
But like others have said, it's made for the sellers, not buyers.Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?0 -

Definitely agree people are making a bigger deal out of the clock/no clock than it really is. The alternative is that most people would have never even gotten anything in their cart after days of hitting f5. Would that really be less frustrating? The end result is the same. I'm not sure this is necessarily better, because I think few if any buyers lucky enough to cart them would dilly dally for 10 minutes and then bail like on a typical onsale. It just doesn't make much of a difference either way.tdawe said:I'm telling you: given how this is turning out, with most people looking down the barrel of spending days/weeks/months chasing these tickets, it's better the way it is.

At the risk of sounding like an ingrate... has anyone experienced trying to buy fan-to-fan tickets when they already have tickets for that show? I have 4 for PHX but they suck and I want to upgrade. I'm hitting all the annoying "Someone beat you to it" messages that you guys are... but now i'm wondering if I'd even be able to buy 2 more BEFORE selling my 4. Any insights from the flock?0

People are definitely trying for better seats. There is a 4 ticket limit per show, so that might be an issue.dschifrin said:At the risk of sounding like an ingrate... has anyone experienced trying to buy fan-to-fan tickets when they already have tickets for that show?

Yeah... I'm wondering if anyone has encountered that issue yet so that I don't have to learn the hard way! :-)arcticgrin said:People are definitely trying for better seats. There is a 4 ticket limit per show, so that might be an issue.0 -
Slow to post this as it’s a busy day at the office: FWIW I made it as far as the credit card payment page on that Baltimore GA pair that Katie snagged and since I was rushing I may have missed something but it appeared as though I could only enter a US billing address. I do have a US shipping address so I instinctively entered it but perhaps the reason I wasn’t meant to land that pair is because of potentially having the charge declined afterwards? Have any other Canadians attempted and been successful?To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."
