Face Value Ticket Exchange (F2F)

a pricing error that TM clearly knows about but will be near impossible to recoup the additional funds...

Its been an absolute joke trying to fix it
"You can set whatever price you choose for this event" - No you can't, PJ does not allow it
"The Event organizer is requiring tickets are only sold at face value" - $122 is not face value
and no less than 3 times they have given me instructions on HOW TO SELL TICKETS. its been an experience

Just a theory but could the different tax payouts have anything to do with state taxes or something? Is there any detail provided behind the amount?

I don't think so. Ft Worth, same state as Austin, I got paid the exact amount I paid originally (322.54). It was just a TM pricing error for Austin and Chicago on the first day. Payout was 150 and 148 instead of 162-ish. St Paul was only off by like a dollar from the original price (161.42 vs 160.08).

I sold some Austin pairs on the first day - should I follow up with Ticketmaster or consider the difference lost?

Can't hurt to try. They should pay it, but I wouldn't be optimistic. On one hand, they clearly said there would be no fees for using the Face Value Exchange and that you can sell for the amount you paid. On the other, there was probably a screen that said the payout would be 150 which you agreed to by hitting submit. And that's how much the buyer was charged, so TM would have to pay the difference itself, which I expect they wouldn't do without more effort on your part than it's probably worth.

Heard. It is what it is.

I never thought it would be hard to sell 10C tickets at face value for Chicago. Hopefully mine sell before September

They will, most people are probably waiting for something better to drop, but towards the end everyone will be happy just to get in the building.

Did someone buy the $800 Indy F2F tix?! Good for them!

EDIT - Nevermind. They weren't showing up for me for a moment, but they're still there.

Looks like TM just dropped a bunch of premiums for Fort Worth N2 in section 106. I don't recall them being there yesterday. I wonder how many more tickets they are holding back.

They just dropped more uppers for N1 in Austin as well. Good luck with that TM.

This is the thing to remember for anyone holding onto tickets they plan to sell. F2F can go up and down at Ticketmaster's will. It can function however TM wants it to. Yes, you probably will be able to sell down the road, but it is not 100%.

I made sure to move up enough to be safe, at some point between more premium and tickets being held more could open up closer to the show. 2022 I had decent lowers for SD (back corner up 19 rows) and moved up to close sides... I put em up and tickets kept posting better then mine.. then more would sell and mine would get to one or two sets from best in the arena only to be kicked back as more and more people dumped better seats then mine. They did sell and many more worse but I know people did get left holding tickets. Some of that was Covid scare, some was CA demand, CA over-saturation.... But if youre holding back up the house, behind the stage 300 level, beware its a risk..

Thanks to whoever posted Austin N2 109’s early this morning.

Yeah, I have been refreshing Austin N1 off and on all day and don't think I've seen one F2F post.

Yesterday was a learning experience-seeing amazing seats pop up left and right- I got into put my CC information 4 times and it shot me down with “Another Fan Already Purchased The Tickets” message every time- 3 months to play this game 🤣🤣
