It's so easy to sell them reasonable here in ticket exchange or in Premium. Why put them on a third party that will just as easily sell to opposing teams? I don't get it.

Well…. From first hand experience, when you try to do the right thing and give and i mean for free give, your tickets away to some Ag on Texags, that Ag then turns around and list them for profit. So why would a good hearted Ag want to expose himself that way again? It will not happen again, I promise.

I'm not aware that it has ever happened to me, and I would think it's not the norm.

I paid a higher premium today for these tickets that I ever have in Omaha

Blast the persons name.

Agreed.

If anyone ever gives me tickets that I am then unable to use, I give them away. Who in the hell thinks it's okay to do anything else with them?

Yea I'd be pizzed as well. But would not resort to seatgeek in retaliation.

Retaliation? That is a huge leap!

Its well known and the incident is as well

I am pretty sure the user name has changed

Call it what you like. They your tickets. I'll continue to give mine or maybe ask below fair price for Aggies to get them.

Since Texas A&M lists SeatGeek as " the official Fan-to-Fan marketplace for Texas A&M Athletics."

I think it's important to differentiate between private ticket sellers and whatever the school is doing and the official marketplace. I also have every reason to believe that our athletics programs benefit from the relationship so intentionally trashing a "partner" seems short-sighted.

I'll note that I'm confused by the sequence of events so I wish to ask a very direct question: is the OP saying some tickets he gave away were then posted on the official Fan to Fan marketplace at a significant premium?

Because that could be fixed by the University working disallow ticket flagged by the original purchaser from being resold. Now the warning is that exists it likely drives up all prudes on the open market due to scarcity of supply…

Oh. Ok. But man, can you really use that one horrible example of why not to sell/give your tickets away to Ags?

The two times I've gotten "better" tickets I either give the initial ones back to the original person OR give them away to other Ags.

You be you. I think I am as offended by being accused of such as being screwed by the attempted reseller.

Oh, the idiot that was called out earlier this season?

The way I read the OP was that he is upset he had to pay more than expected for tickets, and somehow thinks those who live nearby, the game meant nothing to us.

For the first time since I graduated, I don't have season tickets for anything. Life and age got in the way. I'm the past I had tickets for many sports and have away many tickets I couldn't use. Never had an issue and most often got a message after the event thanking me and letting me know how much the tickets were appreciated
BBQ
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yes that happen and trust me either my tix go to people i know or the get unused. By people I know, i mean clients, friends, family no matter who they cheer for.
Check my posting history… many many many basketball, football and baseball tix have been given away day of the event… never again

If you are suggesting i am hating… hate is an emotion that does not exist in my very existence

I will say i exercise extreme prevention

I am not exactly sure what is going on here but

Those who resell season tickets occasionally dont make money for the season on these

Will they for certain games? sure like this series but for every ticket sold for $100+ are tickets you couldnt sell but give away or go unused

I am sorry people come out of the woodwork for the biggest series of the year and want tickets at the last minute. Any of you could have bought tickets at the beginning of the season for face value without a seat price and or donation attached.

And anyone could have gitten cheaper tickets last night when the weather dropped the value to see a great extra inning pitchers duel but for those who want great seats in great weather between two top 5 teams might have to pay a premium for that

On a side note...still looking for tickets to potential Game 7 Stars vs Avs for face value...I havent had anyone offer me those

I have season tickets in football and basketball and live 2 states away so I didn't just come out of the woodwork buddy. I happen to be a fan of all Aggie sports and post regularly on baseball game threads and just wanted to go to the game since I'm in town visiting my mother. I don't mind paying a premium but I do feel like I'm getting hosed a little and wanted to vent. So here I am venting

I mean, what did you pay? Tickets to any of the SEC series have been pretty high if you aren't getting GA tickets.

Also, I don't know if I'd say you regularly post on game threads. I don't even really recognize your handle.

Glad to have you around, but this seems like a super petty thing to start a thread to ***** about.

I appreciate OP He is willing to pay good money for good tickets and he is not able to attend many games because he is an out of towner

His appeal for tix might have been a little off
I Like his directness and as somebody who occasionally sells football tickets and occasionally is looking for a midweek baseball ticket OP candor is appreciated

I recognize his username from the zoo

I guess you could check my post history or profile or choose not to comment. I'm not getting paid for clicks , just venting. Now I'm ready to let it go and enjoy the game from my $200 seats

Better yet why so many empty when I'm here sitting on a blanket…

I did. You have shown up sporadically for the game threads this season- mostly just SEC series. Again, I wouldn't say you were a regular poster on them, but maybe that's just me.
