another ticketmaster bait & switch

Boston Posts: 734
won GA for LA1. (new lotto)  claimed the tickets and added to my account.  went back in today and they are now lower bowl back corner.  not the end of the word but I would keep an eye on your tickets.

    not yet.  I just noticed this morning.  My friend who lost her Nashville pits all together has emailed 10c.  no response since Saturday and ticketmaster told her she is out of luck.

    No shit. I would be flipping out if this happened. Especially with those shitbags at TM telling me I'm out of luck.

    What is the deal with "claiming" tix? I got MSG tix in the original 2020 lottery and check on them pretty regularly. I've never seen any claim buttons. Only that they are valid and still show up under my account.

    Claim usually shows up in a transfer not a purchase

    10C tickets from 2022 had to be claimed.

    In 2020, we got a 2nd email after the lottery confirmation with a link to view the tickets. It wasn't called "claiming", but the same process. I'm sure there's some legalese reason for using the term "claiming" which allows TM to argue that the tickets aren't yours until you do so, while the language of the 2020 email ("Claim your tickets") indicates that they are yours already.

  • Shitty. Sorry to hear. Hopefully the reason nobody is hearing back, is because 10c is trying to figure this out

    Good idea on the screenshots. I just did that. I have also been checking my tickets in my TM account at least twice a day.

    It’ll never stop.  Reason 1 is the arbitration clause companies increasingly use. 

    You can’t sue, you can’t create a class action.  Hence you literally have no recourse and they have no incentive to be responsible. The arbitration company is employed by TM so you won’t win that either as they have an incentive  to side with the people paying then

    TM isn’t out of control. The use of arbitration is

    Arbitration doesn't excuse what TM is doing here. If they are really taking people's tickets away or shifting them around to lesser seats after a purchase, then they are absolutely out of control.

    The point is they hide behind arbitration.  It protects them from being sued and being sued is literally the only thing that stops a company from doing shady things.  If it costs them money then they stop 

    they are exploiting the rules to their advantage of an already rigged game.  Get rid of arbitration clauses and stuff sorts itself out really quick

    Sure, but there are plenty of companies out there not stealing back products they already sold to you so that they can resell them at a higher price.

    I will be doing this today. I might add them to my Apple wallet too. They all have an option to do it. My shows aren't until September, but I haven't seen anything that says that there is a limit to how long they can be in the wallet.
