            I'm so frustrated by the facebook cluelessness. How many times do folks have to explain how F2F works best?

            Why are we locked into a system forcing us to sell tickets on your broken fan to fan platform only to have bots buy them up instantly?
 I do not want to sell my tickets just for this to happen and someone else make money off me. @Sea what are my alternatives? Surely after the last 2 years of this happening you guys have a plan? For years we went to willcall and were only able to sell at face value or lower. Now we still sell at face value (not lower though which is hilarious) but it’s ok for the buyer with their tools to flip these tickets for huge profits.
 On top of that people are wasting hours and hours of their lives trying to get a sniff of a ticket they have no chance of getting.
 Just admit fan to fan is broken, find an alternative that works and move on next tour. Too bad PJ seems to deep with TM now with the lotto, premium tickets, and this system for anything to change.0

            F2F threads are for: Giving a heads up when tickets are being listed on the Fan to Fan Face Value exchange, timing drops, letting others know you are in search of a ticket buddy, letting someone know the tickets they were in search of have dropped.
 It is never ok to post links to broker sites.

 I’m with HHV. It is very cute that the thing the mods took from this discussion is that people were posting links to broker sites. That is obviously not the point of anybody’s post here.HailHailVitalogy said:So you’re censoring the links but haven’t acknowledged 10C F2F tickets being sold for thousands of dollars on those exact broker sites for the past three years?

 The moderators have our backs on the forum but they don’t speak for management. It is what it is.SHZA said:

 There is a separate ‘FT/ISO’ thread which covers all the topics you mentioned. And right or wrong, this thread *has* been more focused on challenges with the F2F system and (unfortunately) grievances regarding how F2F has lost any semblance of what made it helpful in the first place.Sea said:F2F threads are for: Giving a heads up when tickets are being listed on the Fan to Fan Face Value exchange, timing drops, letting others know you are in search of a ticket buddy, letting someone know the tickets they were in search of have dropped.

 Thank youIf the issue is just the links, I think the intent of the posts could still be achieved by *just* pasting screenshots (and not including a link to the broker site).At the end of the day, I think people are just trying to highlight as many instances as possible of F2F tickets being resold for profit in hopes that the band / management will acknowledge that the system no longer works.Tickets should be made transferrable (if contractually possible) so that fans can *actually* get their tickets into the hands of other fans. Presently, F2F is actively preventing the thing it was originally intended to facilitate. And people are just frustrated.10/7/96 (FL), 9/22/98 (FL), 9/23/98 (FL), 8/9/00 (FL), 8/10/00 (FL), 8/12/00 (FL), 4/11/03 (FL), 4/12/03 (FL), 4/13/03 (FL), 7/8/03 (NY), 7/9/03 (NY), 7/12/03 (PA), 7/14/03 (NJ), 10/8/04 (FL), 8/5/07 (IL), 11/27/12 (FL), 12/6/13 (WA), 4/8/16 (FL), 4/9/16 (FL), 4/11/16 (FL), 8/5/16 (MA), 8/22/16 (IL), 8/8/18 (WA), 8/10/18 (WA), 9/25/21 (CA), 9/26/21 (CA), 5/3/22 (CA), 5/12/22 (CA), 5/13/22 (CA), 9/18/23 (TX), 9/19/23 (TX), 10/23/23 (WA), 10/24/23 (WA), 5/28/24 (WA), 5/30/24 (WA), 4/24/25 (FL), 4/26/25 (FL), 4/29/25 (GA), 5/1/25 (GA) 0

 The people scanning tickets aren’t going to check that. They are just trying to move people along. That’s why venues don’t do matching of ids and tickets. It’s not the venue’s problem.Chrrie said:Or go full scorched earth and communicate that the only valid tickets for these events will be in mobile wallets or the Ticketmaster app, and links to random websites will not be honored.0
