    I appreciate that advice, we did try that. Unfortunately now you have to add it to your Apple Wallet, and you can do that, but then it immediately says something like "These tickets are invalid since they're connected to a different Apple ID"

    Sharing TM logins wouldn't be a big deal, but figuring out how to do all that with an Apple ID would be over the top...
    Don't add them to you Wallet. Reports of wonky, linky to the TM account and the phone. Just use them from the browser or the app after they turn on the barcode.
    Agreed. I’ve had a few different issues with wallet tickets over the years. I’ve never had an issue with the app.

    Before I express my anger about why I fear to be true, I just want to confirm:

    If I a friend of mine has tickets to a show (in this case, Miami2), is there really NO way for him to transfer the tickets to me directly? I am of course planning to pay him what he paid for them. We went over this or an hour yesterday, and are dumbfounded at this. He bought two tickets during the fan club lottery, invited me, now he has a family situation to deal with and can't go. We bought flights (from LA) and everything, and I can't for the life of me figure out how I can still go. To be clear, we're both 10C members (I sadly didn't win for that show), and he's been a member for over 25 years. This seems so normal we didn't ever think it would be an issue.

    He saw that he can re-sell them on the open market (for a price TM dictates) but not transfer for them to a fellow PJ fan, which certainly prompted us to wonder if this is a money-making decision. But hoping not.
    It was clearly stated in the Fan Club e-mail that tickets are non-transferable.  Did neither of you read it?
    I dont know. Again this seems so entirely reasonable and normal that it never occurred to either of us to be an issue. Is the issue here really my reading comprehension and not that it exists and all the pitfalls it creates?
    It's been like this for over 20 years in different forms. If either of you have been in the Ten Club for a while you know all this and are being disingenuous. If you're new members, yes you should make yourself aware of fan club ticketing rules.

    I have a great Ten Club number and if they lifted restrictions on transferability I would enter for a lot more shows and transfer them to my friends in other cities. That's just reality.

    Yeah this for sure would happen even more than it already is.  On these short tour runs people are just putting in for every show now and using the good tickets they get for one show as trade bait for the shows they want to attend.  It’s a little more risk if you have a high 10c number if the shows don’t sell out but if you have a low number you know your tickets will sell no matter what.  Feel like they need to address this somehow on future runs.

    It is not complicated. Only buy 10C tickets to shows you will attend. Otherwise, let another 10C member buy them.

    You don’t have to add to the wallet. If you login to their account the day of the show the barcode will be in the app. They usually add it a few days before the show. So, you can use your friend’s login and just scan the tickets from the app. No wallet needed. 
    I hope this is true  :) Would be nice to know before flying cross country though
    Def true.
