I've never figured out how to work with QR codes... Just barcodes.

Now is a good time to learn.
I take a screenshot or the QR code, convert it to a PDF and upload the PDF.
In the past, stubhub needed to turn on your account to be able to do that. Not sure what they do now.
 
dont know if you will definitely be able to do screen shots this year. NHL was supposed to move to presence/safetix this year which would feature rotating barcodes and make screenshots void. not sure if it is being implemented though.
 
Have done a few stubhub transfers so far. With no PDFs, you get the information of the other person in an email after buying and you have to transfer the tickets from ticketmaster to the person.

After doing that, you back to your sales on stubhub and confirm that it was sent. You'll get the money after that.

Also, got an email for the Rangers Roundtable, the night before the opener, at the Hulu Theater. Must RSVP by the 25th. JD, Quinn, and Jeff Gorton will be there.

Last year it was at the Beacon with Slats instead of JD. No freebies but was still a good time.

Yep. And I used last minute pass tonight and added them to my Apple Wallet. Screenshots worked so it looks like they’re not using the rotating barcodes at least for that.

could be because several NFL teams are having a ton of issues using presence this year and the rotating barcodes. who knew 70000 people all using cell service at the same time to pull up dynamic rotating barcodes and using data could be an issue
 
took a look on TM tonight for a friend for opening night tickets - i dont know if i have ever seen so many tickets available (blue dots, the red are resale) for an opening night. they have a ton of tickets left to sell.

Last year had a similar amount but yeah it’s not good. And I don’t even think they’ve opened up the plan and group holds to sell yet. My ticket is $89 average (I think $88 face for this game) and the seat next to me through the team is $209. They actually just flexed it down because it was $227 the other day.

Preseason is any indication it will be all in for 2020.
 
The MSG/TM website is not letting me lower my price for tonight's game. I tried to lower the price from $24, but it wouldn’t take - the continue button is disabled. Since other comparable tix are listed for $21, it cannot be that I am at the absolute lowest price ever allowed. I surmise that MSG has dynamic restrictions in place - they may dump their own inventory last minute at competitive prices, and may not want the competition. Has anybody else experienced this?

Yes they always set a minimum price you can sell them for. I see it all the time.
Frustrating for games you just want to move tickets especially at the last minute.

A few rows can make a difference between the $24 vs $21.

Very possible they change the minimum over time based on numerous factors. Day of the week, opponent, standings, who got traded to an opponent, etc.

The Mets and Yankees have agreements in place with StubHub (their official reseller) for price floors. They want to prevent the "race to the bottom" when the bottom falls out. Typically this floor is a function (percentage) of the nominal price... Say, no lower than 50% of what you paid. The Garden has a similar agreement with TM.
You write that there are comparable seats being sold for $3 less. Do those comparable seats "face" for less than yours? With all the tiering, the "new business" versus "old business" pricing, and the partial / full plan buying price, it may be impossible to know exactly why those seats are reselling for less.

This is why I have to use Stub Hub.
In addition, I sold them on StubHub and I was sent the buyers name and email and forwarded the tickets to him from my phone (MSG App). Then I hit "confirm" on the Stubhub listing without waiting for the buyer to claim the tickets from his account.
If this is how it will work going forward, it should be fine.

I've been doing the same, using StubHub as a backup.
I've had a few sales on StubHub, same process of receiving the email of the buyer, transferring on TicketMaster and confirming on StubHub.
So far so good, smooth process, no issues.

Not to mention this is all through their system anyway so they can see how the tickets got from point A to point C. So unless you plan on creating a new dummy account for every transfer you make, it wouldn't be that difficult for them to see what you're doing.

1) many people sell (or share) large blocks of their tickets to the same people, so seeing the same name/email for a lot of transfers, wont raise any red flags

2) if a team that is as desperate to sell ticket packages as this one (or any team, for that matter) is actively monitoring ticket transfers to pluck tickets away from their evaporating base of subscribers, they are absolute morons.

3) as for the fear of them seeing transfers directly to StubHub, see point 2 above.
 
It's bad enough when typing "rangers" into stubhub that it brings up Texas Rangers first or even Queens park Rangers. But Swope Park Rangers??
