Has anybody ever had tickets actually be non-transferrable?  Since the timing for Noah Kahan tickets going on sale was based on the local time of the venue, plus you could get access to three shows, I went with Boston because it would be sweet to see him in Fenway, St. Louis because that's by far the closest for me (and the one I would prioritize as a result), and Denver because my brother lives there, it's an easy flight, and it'd be a fun trip.  Since Boston went on sale first, I figured I would buy them if I was able to, and then if I also got tickets to St. Louis I would sell the Boston tickets.

I know scalpers suck and I'm part of the problem, but I would've never gone for the Boston tickets if I was guaranteed to get tickets in St. Louis.  Since Boston was on sale first and I ended up with tickets to both, I figured why wouldn't I get the money I could for the Boston tickets?

So anyway, I went to list the Boston tickets on secondary sites and I believe it was Stubhub that had a notice pop up that said I would need to meet the buyer in person at Fenway to let them in since they are non-transferrable tickets.  Ticketmaster says I'll get the digital tickets on my phone two days prior to each show.  Vividseats let me post the tickets for sale.

Ticketmaster is allowing people to resell their purchases for face value, so I am all good with that, but again I figured why not make some money since I was able to get both?  Just curious if I should give up on that and just list them on Ticketmaster.

OR if a Scooper wants them for face value, I'll be selling 2 for the 7/11 show at Fenway.

For a Springsteen show I went to in 2016 anyone with lower level tickets had to present the credit card they used to buy the tickets when entering the arena.

My nephew may be moving to Boston this summer (GF got into Tufts for grad school waiting to hear from Duke) so I might have a buyer for you.
