Isn't this proof that the tickets at face value are under pricedOilAg01 said:
He is. I wonder if they are even his tickets or if he is selling them for someone else.
He'll probably get that price if he breaks it up. I can see the big SEC series going for ~$100 per ticket on Saturdays.
There is a required donation now for bleacher seats. Should probably be higher.12th Man Ag said:
Or maybe they need to add a required donation for bleacher seats too?
If you raise season ticket prices high enough, you'll end up running off the folks who have been attending games for years and replace them with folks who simply can spend enough to pay that level. I'm not sure that the result would be less scalping; in fact, I can almost guarantee that the result would be more.Ag13 said:There is a required donation now for bleacher seats.

But as evidenced by the responses to my original suggestion of raising prices to eliminate scalping - that is not a popular idea amongst season ticket holders.
Why would scalping go up if the margins on doing so approach $0? The screenshot of the guy selling for $1,000/ticket is on tickets that cost $420/ticket with donation.twk said:If you raise season ticket prices high enough, you'll end up running off the folks who have been attending games for years and replace them with folks who simply can spend enough to pay that level.

Some people who stretched to meet the increase would feel a greater need to recoup their investment by selling some tickets that they might otherwise use or give away. For the folks who felt like the new price was pocket change, they probably wouldn't feel pressured to sell, but might not feel compelled to come to games either.Quote:

He's offering an Olsen lot parking pass with these tickets, so that would have to be someone with decent priority points who just bought tickets in the last several years. It would be interesting to see what the story is on these tickets.

Respectable PP member who just bought tickets recently and that was the best they could get. Holding them so they are in line when the stadium is re-seated for season ticket holders first. Can sell bleacher seats at a premium and then just buy the seats they want for the games they want on the open market and sit in the grandstand.
Maybe?
you really think they wanna deal with that? They're not ticket brokers. They have deal with seatgeek, thats where they want you to sell your unused tickets.cwsaggie said:
I'm curious how much 12MF / A&M Athletics receives from SeatGeek (and before it StubHub), and if from their perspective, it is already an efficient system because of the funds SeatGeek provides 12MF.
I have baseball seats and would likely donate many of the unused seats back to 12MF if they would provide PP and/or a tax donation on the contribution of the tickets back to 12MF.
I've seen Friday night tickets for Bama, LSU, UK going for over $300. I want to know who has section 102, row 1 seats 1-6 - he is selling all his games and asking $446 for the Friday LSU game!! Per ticket.OilAg01 said:

Those are great seats though. I'm not paying that for them but I'd pay much more to sit there than I would to sit in the bleachers in left.

What are your thoughts on premiums for 206?!?!
If it is not a price you are willing to pay, do not buy them. I certainly wouldn't. Just because someone is asking for that much doesn't mean they are actually getting it.RobCoMom said:I've seen Friday night tickets for Bama, LSU, UK going for over $300.

That's crazy but crazier is that someone will pay that.
