To make a longer story slightly less long. My daughter, the KPop queen, is also a big Swifty. So when the ERAs tour was announced, she begged for tickets to one of the Houston shows in April. The only way to get face-value tickets to the tour was by signing up as a verified fan on her website, getting randomly selected, getting a code, and then using that code in a free-for-all to buy tickets from ticket master on a selected date. I signed up as a verified fan but wasn't selected. After looking at the resale market, the answer was, "Sorry, dear, you don't get to go." It's not that I'm a meany, just that there is only so much money I'm willing to shell out for concert tickets for her. Fast forward, and Swift announces additional U.S. tour dates, including New Orleans on October. So, since I was already a verified fan, I signed up again. This time, I got randomly selected and snagged 4 tickets to the Friday, 10/25/24 show in the Superdome. The plan was to rent a VRBO and go with my brother's family. The women would go to the concert, and the men would gamble and drink. Unfortunately, my brother backed out for some stupid reason, like one of his daughter's due dates being that week. I figured no problem, I'll sell 2 of the 4 tickets to fund the trip, and my daughter will still get to see the show. Unfortunately, for some unknown reason ( I'm sure involving lots of money for ticket master), they are only allowing resale through Ticketmaster for the Saturday 10/26/24 show. Their site says that they may allow resale of the other shows at some later date. I see some tickets for the Friday show on EBay. I'm assuming that Ebay handles the cash. and the seller just transfers the tickets to the buyer. That seems like a recipe for disaster to me, though. Do any assholes here have any experience with this? I'm taking my daughter to the concert regardless of any other outcome, but an extra $2 or $3 thousand would certainly make me enjoy the show much more. Hopefully, there will be some useful information gathered here, other than pickup two strippers and take them to the concert with us.
tldr, how do I fuck ticketmaster
