Pretty sure I said I'd pay more than market face value lol! Just asking for STH to give us first dibs instead of selling to someone else and that someone else marks it up again to sell to us. At the end of the day it's the STH's choice. Just knowing it's going to a fan instead of a scapular sometimes is feel good for the STH. If I had extra tickets for a game and had a choice of selling it to an actual fan or a scapular I'd sell to the fan.

I'm going to disagree. There were many years here where I couldn't move my tickets for face value, and now the tide has turned. If I'm not going, I'm getting market value. If I'm going to have to dump them late, I have dozens of people now that want them.

That's like 5x what we used to pay on stub hub for the 200's.

The rules here stipulate that you can't sell tickets on the board for more than face value.

I imagine your addressing me. Not an angle buddy. I haven't bought a flight yet. I'm on standby with booking flight hotel until I get tickets to the game. STH get tickets tomorrow. If I get tickets tomorrow, I get to book flight and hotel asap and not worry about tickets. Not asking for hand out. Not saying I'm poor. Which to tell you the truth I'm BROKE! But this is once in a life time, and I thought I'd treat myself to this event I've waited all my life and worry about paying it off over the years. Once in a lifetime, I'm going to spend money. Can I afford it...nope lol! But not asking for a pity party or hand out. Just asking if STH are looking to sell, I'm making myself aware that I exist as a potential customer. They can sell it to whomever they want. I'd like to get a ticket asap so I can finally book everything! Also if one is travelling, I'd like to save on tickets because hotel and flight is huge, but I know you have to pay premium to get in. I knew that and accept that.

P.S Don't understand all the anger about an event that is going to be a huge happy celebration!

Oops didn't know that. I'd be more than happy to pay face value for the ticket.

However, I don't see a STH selling them for face value and rightfully so. So if a STH sees a "deal" point me in the right direction via inbox. I can pay you "face value" plus extra hundred for gas teehee....gas prices are high remember!

Dizzle thanks so much for the link!!! I'm from Canada trying to go to game. Love the link, but do you know if they have a pick up location? Delivery won't be an option, because it will take too long to get here and I could be in flight over to LA while tickets are in transit to Canada. Don't want to chance it. Any ideas?

This doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Why would the people who already have tickets get first priority?
