Face Value Ticket Exchange (F2F)

I don’t want to create a separate thread for this but I reached out to Dickies Arena to put out feelers about giving out wristbands for the GA line and a rep got back to me today and said that they are planning to do just that with one huge caveat. The rep went on to describe the same process DMB did for their Pit where you get a numbered wristband but they call out a random number about 45 mins before doors and that number becomes the first to enter. Meaning if they call out 120 that person is first, 121 is second, etc etc. He said this was to discourage people being there all day and hopefully alleviate heat related medical issues. 

The rep said nothing is finalized yet but to watch their social media account in the next few weeks for more details.

What do you guys think? Would anyone like to see a random lottery for GA entry at FTW or even all the shows?

I’ve been given this error both times I was able to complete the checkout process while trying to upgrade my current seats. Anyone know what causes this?

Lots of action in FTW today. Scored floors for FTW1 and sec 105 for FTW2. That means I have the below to drop. Pm me to set a timed Ticketmaster drop if interested. Want to keep these in the 10C. 

FTW1 107 19 7-8
FTW1 125 20 7-8
FTW2 115 19 4-5

I like that. Springsteen has done that in the past 

I’ve gone through it with DMB several times but the difference is even if you lose that lottery you can still get a great spot since there were very rarely more than 100-150 people. With PJ there’s usually that many in line by noon haha. As a shorter person I liked being able to control my fate a bit more I guess. 

How does that work exactly. Say they start with 120. When do the people from 1-119 go in. If people keep showing up to the point of the show starting they would get higher numbers than 1-119. So would 1-119 have to wait for latecomers before they can go in? I’m sure I am missing something.

There would be a cut off time to be eligible for a number. Everyone that did not get a number would get behind the last place number with your example being 119.

Exactly - So tickets 1-xxx are given out.... a given time before doors they draw a number from 1-xxx , lets say they draw 119, then ticket holder 119 is the center rail master first in line, then 119-XXX, are lined up with 1-119 next so if you are 118 you are now last in line for the numbered group, anyone else who doesn't have a number are after that in line

Ok. I get it now. In your example I would hope that 119 and 118 aren’t there together. I wonder if they would do that with the outside merch line as well to keep people from lining up for hours in the heat. Have they done that for merch before as well?
