I feel like this informal poll might be tainted by selection bias.Camden 2 2006, Newark 2010, Barclays 2 2013, Central Park 2015, MSG 2 2016, Wrigley 1 2016, Rome 2018, Prague 2018, Asbury Park 2021, EV & Earthlings NYC 1 2022, MSG 2022, Louisville 2022, Dublin 2024, MSG 1 2024, MSG 2 20240

I guess my fundamental dispute with this system is when you boil it all down the primary determining factor as to who gets to go and who is shut out is luck. No skill. No real angles to try and figure out. No throwing money at the problem.
Blind, stupid luck.
I would rather live in a world where people have more options to get something they really want over and above 'Please Lord, let me win this lotto'...'Please Lord, don't let me see a 2000+ people in front of me when this sale opens up'....and 'Please Lord, let there be tickets when I hit refresh the 10,000,000th time and be the 1st one to hit Buy'.

We will all be kicking ourselves when a few day out from show day scalers ,that previously bought not knowing if they can even sell them start using the F2F. I think the week leading up to the show will have a lot more tickets.0

The irony is that this process was created to fight bots, and the only way to get tickets is to act like a bot.0

I dont think the tenacity of the 10c fans was expected. People, myself included, refreshing for hours on end to not even just get tickets but to upgrade tickets to shows they already have. I certainly didnt expect to spend this much time monitoring f2f, but its turned into a challenge now.I'll ride the wave where it takes me0

Again, I TOTALLY get the band imposing these restrictions when it comes to the 10C lotto/tickets. I am fully on board with the 10C being a 'your money is no good here' zone, but having it be the case for every ticket across every show is just a bridge too far for me.
