Also they claim I'm basically the only one who ended up buying some reseller tickets, and if more people had also made the same mistake it would be understandable... lol

All tickets I bought were under $300 and followed every guideline they posted... so ridiculous.
So now I have to wait for them to try and sell the tickets and get 50% of whatever they get (if anything)... sharing the loss with us... that is SO DAMN WRONG. We should NOT be sharing risk with them, we dont make anything on the profit... especially if we followed 100% of the guidelines they required
PFS also announced, half way through the ticket buying process, that they would not be reimbursing customers for any “platinum” tickets (whatever those are) that the customers had purchased. This was a new policy that had not been announced prior to the initial ticket sales. You can’t change the rules in the middle of the game!

Fortunately, PFS did not enforce this new rule, and I was paid 100 percent of my ticket purchases (including eight “platinum” tickets), although I had to forego $600 in commissions that had been explicitly promised by PFS. I was happy to just escape without taking a loss.

Lesson learned.
