Thank you to whomever dropped the lower bowl SEC 107 N2 CHI tickets for face value this morning! 

That was me...enjoy the show!

Thank you!  Way better than the 10C seats (SEC 302, row 4) that I have/had.

FLR5, row 10 are available for Austin 2

Dang I just got an upgrade for Austin N1 and now Ticketmaster thinks I'm a bot!?!? Anyone else have this happen to you?

Yes. That happened to me. I was told that if you refresh too fast and too often TM will block your IP address for around 24 hours. If you get too many temporary blocks then they will permanently block you. When I was blocked on my computer my TM app still worked on my phone. So see if that works. But don’t click fast too many times or refresh anything continuously or you will be blocked again. Everything seems to be working now again for me, so I have to be very careful in terms of refreshing pages. 

I fucking despise this company man. Had a drop set up, nailed it, just spun at checkout and nothing. Turns out, it thought I was bot. So basically, the only fucking way to get tickets is to refresh constantly and be as fast as possible (i'm 0-11 with tickets in cart), but not toooooo fast or you get flagged as a bot. Fucking hell. I'm about to just punt and wait for closer to the show and hope for the best. Its just impossible right now.

It's a hard lesson to learn but I think that waiting until close to the show is the best bet. It has never failed me yet. Way too frustrating when the shows are this far out.

Yep, I was just trying to upgrade and ensure I could sell my others. At this point, i'm happy to pay double for closer seats. If I get better seats and get stuck with my uppers because its too close to the show, whatever. Its just a shame we have to deal with the TM bullshit. They are just fucking with us on the checkout process. If you pay their ridiculous prices, your tickets are held and you have a timer with a set time to checkout. Not for F2F though, you have to keep battling the whole way and essentially get lucky as hell. 

Perfect example of why they should tier the pricing if they intend on selling 300 level nosebleeds to 10C members.  You're not the only one that would be willing to pay more for better seats.  A ton of these 300 levels for $162 won't sell and they'll be staring at vacant seats anyway.  There's already a glut on F2F.

Agree. I don't need front row by any means, but i'd def pay up to move closer. There is just way too big of a spread between face value and the TM "Premium" price. I'm not paying that. Limiting transfers to 10C members only would help. That way, if I wanted better seats and someone was willing, I could set up a deal on my own. TM would never allow that though. They wouldn't get their cut. Its crazy that after all of these years, I'm no a PJ forum bitching about TM in 2023. 

But what do I know, I'm just a fucking bot apparently........

Question.  Has anyone else ran into issue when trying to sell that at the end after you pick which card to put it on it does not let you press the sell button?  I have tried everything…added cards and edited but i can never get it to allow me to do the final step.  Any help would be appreciated.

You have to have both an active bank account and credit card entered in order to submit a sale. 

I‘m from Europe  and don‘t have  a US bank account or a US credit card. I can't put my tickets on sale and Ticketmaster won't tell me how to resolve the issue.

I posted a pair of seats as far as possible from the stage for Tuesday night in Chicago and they sold in a couple of hours. I suspect people shouldn't be eating these.

I'd say it depends. I'm fully prepared to eat my Austin uppers if I can get lucky and more lowers are available closer to the show. I've given it a shot on the few days F2F has been open, but its nearly impossible and not worth it. I would suspect that if more become available closer to the show and I get lucky say, 1-3 days prior, my uppers aren't going to sell for $162 a piece that close to the show.

Really good seats are rare this early on. Occasionally you'll get lucky, and find someone who just wants to get rid of their tickets asap. But for the most part, people know they'll always be able to unload those, so they're in no rush to get rid of them. There will be lots of good tickets to choose from as the shows draw near.
However, getting stuck with crappy uppers is a legitimate concern. I know it seems risky, but if you really think your seats are that bad that they may not sell later, you may want to try and unload them now and trust that you'll be able to find better later.
