Okay - Just a general question.
What do you do if you buddies bail or whatever on a game? Do you charge them? Do you eat the ticket?
I can see this happening last minute pretty often, especially if something comes up from work for a weekday game etc. Obviously when your friend agrees to buy a ticket from you, it's like him agreeing to pay for the ticket and attend the game. So if a star play goes down or the team stinks, they can't just back away.
I understand if this is for one game, but what'd the general protacol you STHers take when this happens?
IMO, it should be strictly business as you're not going to give them a "friend's discount" off face value before the season starts just so you can lose money etc.
I have my own philosophy when it comes to tickets.
If I have season tickets, and I invite someone to go with me, I don't expect them to pay. I make them buy me beers / food.
If I am going out to purchase extras for a special event, this is where I get my buddy to pay.
Now, if the shoe were on the other foot, meaning he bought the tickets, I planned to go with him, then suddenly couldn't, I would tell him that I couldn't go, but would make him whole by paying him for the ticket. He shouldn't have to suffer because of my change in plans.
I split my Rangers tickets, and when something comes up and keeps me from the Garden, I tell my buddy to do what he wishes with my ticket.
