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?

People are definitely trying for better seats. There is a 4 ticket limit per show, so that might be an issue.

Yeah... I'm wondering if anyone has encountered that issue yet so that I don't have to learn the hard way! :-)

I have 6 in one account, 2 TC tickets and 4 bought through general sale

Interesting. Good to know that. I didn't get TC tix (which is a tragedy itself), so mine are all TM presale.

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?

I scored tickets for Oakland just using my regular Canadian CC and info.

It's Katie's world and we are all just living on it.

All things considered, that was probably the single best pull anyone has landed during this entire F2F sale across every show.

Good to know. I clearly missed the option by rushing through. Also pretty sure we’re all getting arthritis from this fan to fan sale.

Did you get the Oakland tickets in the fan to fan?

i got through to the billing info a few times. Used a saved credit card that I’ve had no problem with in the past. Said there was a error with the billing address every time.

I realize I probably got beaten to the tickets anyway, but I wondered if it was a problem with me being Canadian.

Who the hell has all day to do this?

not me lol

I like to think I make enough money where I can just over pay for tickets if i wanted too.

clearly not the case for some of these shows

🤦‍♂️

Have they resolved the issue where US folks can't re-sell tickets to the Canadian shows without a Canadian bank account? I seemingly just listed one for QC, see it on the map, and got the confirmation email and everything.

I did on the fan to fan. It was yesterday morning when a bunch of tickets that were held back for sale were dumped all at once. I did not have an issue getting through at all.

These Toronto tickets on the other hand. TONS of issues securing something!

People are definitely trying for better seats. There is a 4 ticket limit per show, so that might be an issue.

I am for sure. Was able to get 2 for nashville for a friend yesterday. I got 2 through 10c but trying to upgrade those. Would throw my 10c seats back.

Holler when you throw your 10c nashville tickets back into the mix.

Here that! More likely because they are very limited f2f thus far. More demand than supply. This will change.

I gave it one day but I’m spent after that. I can’t do this for a month. I’ll put in a good 5-10 mins here and there but that’s it. I don’t need it that badly that I need to pull away from the other activities of my life. At least that’s my story today.

Hoping we’ll have drops closer to the day or day of. I’ll be in town either way.

🤦‍♂️

This is a fucking quest at this point, and I am not good with backing down from quests until I figure them out.

My boss came over this morning and saw me still clicking refresh on the TM screen and said 'Are you seriously still at that? Give up already.'

I told him to fuck off, and he walked away.

I've been wondering about what the preferred strategy would be going forward - check in randomly throughout the day, refreshing a few times each visit, or block out 30 minute (or 60 minute, or whatever) chunks where you refresh constantly and hope some tickets land in that zone?

You'll end up with a whole lot more time to refresh if you end up fired for telling your boss to fuck off....

We're all in this together. And as a friend of mine (who is also trying for Baltimore) put it, "at what point does my IT department flag me???"
