Re: Off Topic 2013

Anyone bought tickets on stubhub before? Would you recommend doing so?

Also, I saw tickets in certain sections in diff games that are CHEAPER on that site than they are if I bought it from the box office directly. Is that a scam or is there a reason for it being cheaper

It's because they are re-sold via private party. I always buy my tickets from StubHub.

What do you mean resold? If they're selling it again, why is it cheaper? Don't they lose money?

Selling for cheaper than face value beats eating the full price of the ticket if they don't sell it.

Why would they sell it for cheaper when game isn't for over a month lol. I can understand cheaper price closer to gameday, but when it's this much time before day of game, seems strange.

Re: Off Topic 2013

Not sure. Perhaps it's season ticket holders than just want to sell their tickets. It's all about supply and demand there.

Every game/RAW/concert I've gone to (aside from Vegas shows) I've gotten my tickets through Stubhub, though. Have never had any issues with them.

Re: Off Topic 2013

K, I'll consider getting tickets then. I saw a game where tickets are like 20% cheaper on stubhub than box office, so really hoping I get it.

But also funny to look at other people selling tickets. I see people trying to sell tickets for an event where tickets aren't even on sale yet(not even presale) and it's like triple the price, for horrible rows.

I also saw someone selling tickets that are like double the box office price, but when I go to the teams site, there's tickets that are better rows(in same section) than stubhub and cheaper lol.

Re: Off Topic 2013

StubHub is quite reliable. I haven't used it myself but I doubt the Blue Jays would be using them as a sponsor if it's a service with a bad reputation.

I think some people just make do it as a way to make money. I keep getting tickets from California/Texas whenever I go to a Seahawks game.

Stubhub is amazing. I use it for every baseball game I go to. I just got tickets for a Brewers game in Milwaukee 9 rows up from home plate for $28 a piece. They're normally like $60 a piece. The price you see on the ticket includes fees so that's all you pay.

I don't ask questions as to why they're cheap, I really don't care. I just know that I paid the same price for 9 rows behind home plate as I would have for a upper deck ticket if I had gone through the box office after fees and everything.

I enjoy the BBC version as well. I totally forgot / just rediscovered that my TV has an Amazon app. I purchased the "Life" documentary (25.99 for HD) and have been watching that. Man these animals are crazy.

Face value doesn't mean that is what they paid for it. If they have season tickets, they didn't pay face value for it. I think the Florida Panthers last year had a deal where you paid like $2 per ticket if you bought season tickets. No way in hell regular tickets were that cheap.

This is also why you do your research, go to multiple places. When I was going to Dover, getting off StubHub was pointless. Everyone was selling for above face value + fees, when I could have just gone to Dover's page and gotten similar seats for less. But for Darlington, I got start-finish line seats at face value, not possible on the website and everyone else was charging more.

Also, remember there are more fees on StubHub than buying through a team page usually. So depending on how much less than face value it is, you could end up paying about the same or more and they are discounting because they are aware of this and giving the buyer a break because they aren't using them any way.
