Ugh thank you for saying this. I work in ticketing and have to explain this every day and people literally don't believe me. The first 10-15 minutes are nearly impossible to pull tickets because everyone has them in their cart, then they decide not to buy and they all get released and suddenly there's 3/4 of the venue available. And if it actually does "sell out," just wait until the week/day of the show and the holds will be released.
Yep, the phone calls started as soon as the email went out. Also interesting that they're doing mobile only ticketing (at least here). No PDFs, will call, or buying in person at the box office.
Can anyone tell me if codes are tied to Ticketmaster account emails this go around? I could’ve sworn I’ve used friends codes under my account previously.
As far as I'm aware they've always been tied to the account that registered "Codes cannot be purchased.You should not trust anyone trying to sell you a code. Only Ticketmaster can issue Verified Fan access codes and we will never sell these through our platform or any other site. Furthermore, codes are non-transferable."
Thanks - maybe I’m thinking of just general presale codes. Looks like I’ll have to have my friend get them since she’s the only one who got a code out of my group.
It's 50/50 with these presales, I had a horrible time with the first Paramore tour but the second one was a breeze.
Likewise with these verified pre-sales. I'm just glad that these venues are pretty huge. More of a shot.
This says 'Resale is restricted' however for the Cleveland show, these go into our Flash Account (flash seats), which can be transferred on typical event/game occasions. Technically, a transfer can happen without a resale if someone pays the seller in a different way (cash, venmo, paypal, etc). It doesn't say anything about not being able to transfer the tickets.
Just got 2 floor seats. Between this, P!ATD and Modest Mouse, I've spent $600 on tickets in the last month.
Ugh, this is taking forever. I've been on a "sit tight, we're securing your Verified Tickets" screen for 10 minutes
Got 2 lower level tickets in the section 3rd closest to the stage. Would've gone for floor tix (which are still available for the Xcel) but my Mom doesn't like standing so... :/
