  • No Market for Tickets

    Just saw a pair of tickets home plate 6 rows back for $29 each on Stubhub with parking pass included. I couldn't even get rid of my tix today no matter how much I lowered em. I guess the only way to look at this is we are in luck if we make the playoffs and need tickets.

      I could deal with tr305 threads if a Seinfeld bit was posted in them.

        Well, he is right. I've tried selling a handful of games that I couldn't make this year and there's no market for the tickets. I had an easier time selling unusables at Sun Life.

          Except he's talking about selling his tickets for today's game but there were not $29 tickets 6 rows behind home plate for today's game.

              They just stopped selling em at around 11. I don't get why the instant download ones don't stay up.

                That's because the system shuts two hours before the game.

                  Are you selling them for the same price?

                    Ah good call, guys. Still refuse to believe there were tix for $29 right behind home plate.

                      I believe it. I have row C behind home plate (that's third row since Marlins do letters then numbers for rows). No how, no way do they sell for face on stub hub. Maybe if I list it a few weeks in advance trying to make my money back I get someone to bite at face. Last minute, if I have to unload them, they're going for below face. Since, bless tr305 and his silly rants, i assume he saw row 6, not row F, I can absolutely see row 6 behind home plate for $29 in an effort to "please don't make me eat the entire cost."

                        There weren't. My brother is down and wants to go to a game. We were reloading stubhub every few minutes. Those tickets did not exist for the Saturday game. Not only were there no $29 6 rows behind homeplate, but there were no seats anywhere in the homeplate box sections for less than $40 (last row). Edit: Don't know if they were last row, but they were at the top of the section and were probably not less than $54 at the very cheapest.

                          I think the perfectly reasonable explanation as to why there isn't a strong resale market here is that most of the Marlins fans who were planning on going to a dozen games or so now have some manner of season-ticket, making them less likely to look for resale. Ultimately, it's not a "problem" for the team. The bigger problem is, coming off an 8-1 road swing and playing against a NY team, we can't get close to a sellout.

                            they got 31k last night, 34k today and another 30k tomorrow

                            the Marlins are beyond pleased right now

                            a shame those $29 tickets aren't available tomorrow

                            (edit: I highlights all the sections behind homeplate, gold and blue)

                              Beyond pleased is a bit of hyperbole, no?

                              I don't think you can be beyond pleased if it's 80% capacity of the smallest park in the NL.

                              I was disappointed last night. Visibly empty sections (and when I say empty, I mean empty, the last three in the second level down the left field line had like 12 people in them combined).

                              Friday night, Mets in town, coming off a feel-good winning trip, Santana going against us, that's gotta do better than 80% capacity.
