Thread: Season Ticket Holders: How's your experience been with reselling tickets?

I have not had much trouble selling season seats, but I think my method is different than most. I had two seats in 332 which were 23.50 each. That meant I had to list at about $28 each to break even. I ended up selling 15 pairs of tickets during the regular season, 14 of which sold for break-even or higher, including weeknight games vs. Ottawa, Minnesota, Anaheim, and Phoenix (twice!).

My approach was to list the majority of my tickets, fully intending to attend any games that didn't sell at the $28 list price (or higher). Therefore each game had only two possible outcomes - I was either in attendance or I got the full value of my tickets back.

The only time I lost money on a game was the one time I HAD to sell the tickets because I couldn't attend.

I'm thinking of getting either 300 middle or maybe splurging for a 200 2x high.

I'm curious to know what kind of luck you guys and gals have had reselling your tickets. Do they usually sell? How big of a price hit do you take?

Apologies if this has been asked before. I tried to search but couldn't find anything.

Not a season ticket holder, but I do buy tickets from Season Seat holders every year. For me it's a win-win. I usually buy the seats a few dollars more than the season seat holder paid, but much less than face value. Never had a bad experience pruchasing tickets this way.

Same here , never had a problem buying tix on LGK ticket exchange , and have meet some really nice people on along the way.
I am a free lancer so when I am in town sometimes I won't know if I have a gig till noon or so.
I end up buying tix usually on the day of the game.

Check out my Ticket Exchange thread here: http://letsgokings.com/f6/share_seas...on-363796.html for section and seat location.

This is a really great offer, RoyalSubject. I hope you take AngryKing up on it. Committing to 10 games is a really good start.

I am a 318 season seat holder as well and I wouldn't have it any other way. All the TV/Radio guys broadcast booths are in 318. That speaks volumes, wouldn't you agree? If 318 is good enough for Bob, Jim, Nick, and Daryl... it is good enough for me!

I hope it works out for you! Good luck.

i got stuck with 324 sec hoping to get to center when the select a seat comes up.

Anyone know of a map of Staples that has row and seat info on it? I know where all the sections are, but not all of them start at row one...

I did indeed take him up on the offer. We're having our game draft a week from tomorrow. I'll be in 318 Row 8 for 10 games next season.

Check out the 3d seat viewer. It's about the best I've seen for Staples.
