Just in general, for those lucky enough to have season tickets, how are you guys doing with selling this season?

Demand has kinda been very up and down and given how this team is playing, it's been tough getting face back for the weekday games. Weekend games have been decent, but not too many to go around on the schedule.

Also, StubHub fees are killing me..... :/

The schedule sucks this year. look at the current home stand..4 games in 6 nights and back to back nights. You could've gone to the game last night for practically nothing. Just like some playoff games, when they bunch up like this demand will wane. And of course, the way they've been playing doesn't help either. I still get a laugh at some poster here that used to say "this team will be contenders for years to come and tickets will always be in high demand".. what a clown.

StubHub fees are killing me..... :/

I was warning people about this back in August, but nobody seemed interested at the time...

...beware if you're looking to flip since it's especially hard to sell on stubhub these days because they mark up your take home by 25% for the new "what you see is what you pay" policy.

So if you bought seats at $299 each, if you wanted to unload at face to the seller at $299 your take home would actually be $229 and you would take a loss of -$70. You would need to sell to the buyer at $390 just to break even, let alone make a profit

I prefer the new policy. I can not attend the Giants home opener this year. My tickets are $95 each. Wanted $250 each, so put them up at $300. Buy saw $334, and they sold in less than 24 hours. $255 each for me after fees. You will not have any problem getting $400 each for the $299 seats. The cheapest you will see the $299 seats on stubhub will likely be well over $500.

Why would I want to go through all this to get $400 which would just make me break even? Your take home on the Giants tickets was 255, and the buyer paid 334 - so you effectively paid a 24% fee to go through stubhub.

I don't know what the prices will be on the secondary market, there's a lot of seats out there to be sold. Many STHs will just be able to jusify a pair to one of the games. That means for people with 4 or 6 seats x 2 games, they will be sellers that's going to increase supply and put some downward pressure on prices

Yes, I paid a fee to go through stubhub. They are not running the site for free. Stubhub makes it very easy and I get paid quickly after the tickets are delivered. Would I have liked to been able to keep the 334 all for myself? Sure, but I didn't have anyone willing to pay that much, but there was someone out there in internet world.

Nope they aren't running it for free, and they provide insurance on both sides of the transaction. But when you're talking a 25% markup (it's actually 79% on the cheapest MLB tickets), it takes away pretty much all of a seller's margin for all events except the highest demand ones. They should be collecting a fee, but 25% is insane and it's going to cost them a lot of business since it's so much in your face now with everything packed into the listed price.

It's actually less than the team ticket exchanges. They charge 10% to seller and 17% to buyer.

The difference is that on TEx all the fees are hidden from the buyer until the credit card page. When everything is upfront, sellers need to lower prices to compete and that puts downward pressure on prices

SH just moved this year to "what you see is what you get" for pretty much everything (includes Yankees, Mets, Jets, Giants, Knicks, etc..). The listed prices this year are about the same or lower on SH than last year, which means sellers are eating an extra 10% in fees because they have to lower prices to meet buyer expectations.

Fees on the ticketexchange are just as bad, and willing to bet they get less traffic. Have you tried buying a game on the exchange? Major pain in the butt. I wanted to buy a pair of seats for the 200 level barstools. Didn't really care which game, just wanted the cheapest possible. Bought through stubhub, because navigating the stubhub game pages is 1000x times easier.

Bottom line, if you are selling online, you are going to get hit with ridiculous fees. If you do not want to pay the fee, try selling on craigslist, through the newspaper (as if anyone reads them anymore), or word of mouth.

I am looking to break even, happy with that! (actually on track for getting a discount of ~$4 per seat for the games I am seeing myself)
My seats are $76 face value (MUCH easier to sell than $114 last year)

Break-down of sales for the season:
7 games Stubhub (take-home after fees: 4 face value, 2 over, 1 under)
7 elsewhere online (Craigslist, HFboards)
11 friends and buyers from last year -- this is definitely the best way to sell
2 Ticketmaster exchange
2 still available

What games are you trying to sell and at what price point? You have to realize, almost everyone and their brother is trying to get a piece of the ticket-profit pie. As face value continues to rise, it will only get worse. Someone who can afford to go to 10 games at $53 each, likely can only do about 8 at $65 each. That is now 2 more games he needs to sell. And while (assuming 2 tickets) 4 extra tickets on the market is not going to through off the supply and demand curves, multiply that by 100 people doing to same and now it does. ESPECIALLY, when people are trying to dump the same games.

The schedule sucks this year. look at the current home stand..4 games in 6 nights and back to back nights. You could've gone to the game last night for practically nothing. Just like some playoff games, when they bunch up like this demand will wane. And of course, the way they've been playing doesn't help either. I still get a laugh at some poster here that used to say "this team will be contenders for years to come and tickets will always be in high demand".. what a clown.

I agree the schedule sucks. With the baby, decided to sell more than usual. Just wasn't sure how it hinder me going to games. I had 3 regulars to whom I sold anywhere from 5-8 games, this year took on a 4th. My 3 regulars do not weekend games, but the 4th person does, so it was easy to fit her in. The other 3 take a mix of popular games and less popular games, but the main request is I space them out. About 1 a month. Well, when they have long road trips and long homestands it makes it tough. Secondly, if the Rangers had any brains, they would request that they not play any home games on Sundays during football season. Demand will always be high, but there will always be games that do not sell well. I.e. Nashville on a Tuesday in December or Calgary on a Sunday night in december. If you want to sell them, you have to package them with a more in-demand game. If your sole motivation is to make every dollar possible, then you are going to have to be prepared to take a hit on some nights. Another reason why I was opposed to the league going back to playing every team at least once home and home. No need for me to see Calgary, Nashville, Edmonton every year.

Only caveat is do not count on the friends too often. If I had a $1 for everytime a friend of mine said they definitely wanted a few games and I should call them when I am ready to sell tickets only to have the person have more excuses than a virgin on prom night when it was time to ante-up, I could look Bill Gates in the face and ask him how it felt to be so poor. Well, obviously that is an exaggeration, but you get the point.

I find this place is hit and miss. 2 of my current regulars originated on here. The guy who sits to my right had a regular for a season or two from this place, but he then moved. I had 2 other regulars from this place for a few years. One finally got his own seasons and another guy didn't want to spend the money anymore. The problems I find with this place are 1) too many people who only want popular games. 2) Those who only want the popular games still expect you to sell for the STH price. 3) People want a discount.

Had one guy pm me 2 or 3 years ago. Asked for the home opener, a Flyers game, a Penguins game, Isles game and a Leafs game. Took 3 pm responses for him to get the point that the home opener was unavailable. He also could not comprehend that if he wanted Isles, Leafs, Flyers, and Penguins, he would have to take at least 6 or 7 less popular games, i,e, Nashville on a Tuesday in December. When that wasn't ok with him, he was offended that I had the nerve to tell him he would have to pay a premium if he just wanted the big name. Went on about how I shouldn't be screwing fans, and how if I was a real fan, I wouldn't need to make money on my tickets.

After my 2nd response, I knew we weren't going to do business, but I kept up the conversation for my own amusement.

This is a good point, and exactly why it's a good idea to get the cash immediately when the season begins and tickets are available for forwarding. As soon as the schedule is out we send a list of available games out to friends who make their picks, and request payment by season start. Most of the games go to co-workers so it's easy to harass them about payment.
This year I made several sales before the first home game. After that, realizing the screw-up with my seats I had to cancel some of those sales. In general prices had gone down so I didn't get quite the same return anymore. I find it best to list the tickets asap and keep adjusting the prices according to demand.

Weighing in as someone who has 4 row 1 Gallery Seats.
It is very hard to get a premiums for these tickets since face value is already $135 per seat. Most people don't even know what Gallery Seats are so they wouldn't necessarily look for them on Stubhub.

I sold the 1st 10 home games without much problem.
They went for anywhere from face to $50.00 above face.

All of a sudden beginning with the Washington game it is becoming a challenge to get face value.

Nobody is interested in Nashville, Columbus or Calgary.
I will be lucky to sell these games for about 50% off face value.

In the end if the average sale price ends up at face value I would be very happy.
Since I have 4 tickets when playoffs come around I can sell 2 of the 4 to offset the value of the other 2.

Depending upon how sales go for the season as a whole I might try to downgrade to 2nd row Gallery or for $1 more per seat get seats in the 100's in the corner.

I had a pair in row 1 last year and it was enough of a pain to deal with moving them for face...and that was before they jacked up the price another $10. I downgraded to row 2 over the summer as I couldn't find any way to justify the extra $53 for one row. That said, I'm happy to hear you haven't been getting killed on them.

 

[patnyrnyg]

The row 1 gallery seats, to me are a novelty. Something people want to do once, to have the tvs and willing to splurge once or maybe once a year. But, not prices most people are going to want to spend for too many games. If you are going to have those or lower level, my advice would be to buy as a season only if you plan to go to most of the games. I would say at least 30.

 

[The Gloaming]

I have lower bowl corner tickets. $136 face. Absolute ***** to resell. The only game I haven't lost money on this year has been the Vancouver game.

So if anyone wants tickets to ANY game, email me at [email protected]
