A buddy and I were supposed to drive down from Canada but sadly, we're opting out due to all the current friction between the US and Canada.

We started looking today at unloading our tickets and Ticketmaster/StubHub don't seem to want to let us do this unless we have an American bank account. It also appears that we're unable to transfer tickets unless we're physically there in-person to see the buyer into the venue.

Does anybody have any insight into this and any suggestions on what we can do to not have to eat $1000 worth of tickets for the two shows?

i have heard that re-sale on the non-ticketmaster sites has become a real pain in the butt if you buy from a re-sale site and don't wanna go

but I have not heard about issues re-listing on TM if you bought from TM directly

sorry to hear

if you chance it and get arrested in front of the venue

i will come over to you

and you can transfer to me in-person

[96583UP]

frustrating when they do crap like this and it leads to empty seats (and wasted money)

[96583UP]

i see the notice in the TM site now about PJ making these non-transferrable, and TM policy being you need a bank account in the country of event

that warning seems new to me

super annoying at both of those things

I’ve seen a couple of guys make the same complaint over at the Pit and they had to actually call Ticketmaster to get it resolved. They did get refunds, tho. I don’t think they bought them from StubHub tho.

I had to sell some Toronto tickets several years ago and it just suddenly worked with my US bank account after multiple failed attempts. I know that’s probably not helpful!

Thanks for the insight, gang!

They were bought through Ticketmaster, though obviously before the days when heading across the border seemed like such a precarious thing.

Maybe we'll call TM and see what, if anything, they can do.

So far, we've determined that our only real option is to roll the dice on transferring them to someone through TM and worrying about the money through a PayPal transaction or equivalent.

This is an enormous longshot, but does anybody on here want a pair or two of tickets to these shows? They're not unbelievable seats, but they're not bad. We're just looking to get what we paid for them, which was $385.04 per pair.

Also, if this is in some way outside the forum guidelines, let me know ASAP and I'll delete the post.

I sent you a PM but interested in Friday if still available

[wease]

I thought the tix weren’t transferable. I mean, I hope you can, but I thought they didn’t allow transfers.

StubHub won't but I believe we can through Ticketmaster F2F.

[Jaeti]

I don't think you can transfer them directly. Over on The Pit there's a huge thread of people trying to time up link-drops in order to beat the bots that snatch things up right away, but it sounds like a real slog.

[96583UP]

the ticketmaster warning i get says that transfers are disabled

'To help protect the Exchange, Pearl Jam has also chosen to make tickets for this tour mobile only and restricted from transfer. '

[96583UP]

there is another part that adds

'To help support Ed's rare baseball memorabilia addiction, Pearl Jam has also chosen to make tickets for this tour balls-out expensive for about half the attendees.'

Well, I think my friend has managed to sell them. I'm not 100% sure yet what he did, but when I find out I'll report back.

[E.H. Ruddock]

You can sell them and just meet the buyer There and have them go in with you

Yeah, but us not crossing the border is the entire issue here. :/

[Mr.x]

who all is going?

also who has a spare ticket?

My wife and I will be there, in [errr checks phone] 112. She's still one fuck up by me in the next weeks away from sending one of my kids with me. Which at least two out of three are rooting for. Chances seem high.

UPDATE:

Looks like the wife has an ear infection, so unless we get that puppy resolved in two days, looks like it's time to pick a kid to go.
