That's the primary downside, and they do track everything. They also have a detailed database about your seats, including exact distance to center ice or center court. It's one of the metrics they use for seat valuation
anyone ever get screwed listing on TE and SH? I know you have to be careful with both selling at the same time and then being out x% of the ticket price. But does/has this actually happen?

Someone I know had that happen to them recently. Had to cancel the StubHub sale and got nailed with a fee greater than 50% of what their initial sale was.
Also happened to me on concert tickets once years ago. I learned my lesson not to do that again.

I go back and forth on this - sure MSG can track sales on TE and use that data for their own purposes, but wouldn't they prefer a STH sell on their service rather than SH, Vivid, etc?
I've almost exclusively used TE in the past but now I'm rethinking.

happens to me every year, cost of doing business. It sucks and it's expensive. What I really need to do is sign up with ticketutils, they post to stubhub, vivid, AND ticketmaster automatically so there's no overlap. Of course that's what stubhub wants you to do because they own ticketutils now so they'll screw you the hardest possible on the double sale even if you have better replacement tickets

Pretty much how I feel. I think for possible huge money playoff games I may go the TE route but everything else nope. No interest in giving them any more money than I already have.
As a STH one of the advertised perks is the ability to resell your tickets. From what I understand MSG doesn't penalize you for reselling your tickets but base the resale value when they raise ticket prices. An experience I had with MSG about 3-4 years ago that I thought was interesting. I had sold all 6 of my seats on a site other than TE and one of the seat holders got into some sort of an altercation and got ejected. The next morning I got a call from someone at MSG(not my rep.) saying that I was being issued a formal warning and would have my seats revoked pending a review of this incident. I immediately called my rep. who knew nothing of the incident. He looked into it and told me that after a review MSG usually will not revoke your tickets. My rep. squashed the review but did mention that Dolan is furious about all the resale traffic on sites not affiliated with the club ie. StubHub. I think this was an Islander/Ranger game so it was a marquee game and there is no doubt in my mind that the fact that they were resold on a site other than TE played a part in there initial decision. I was then told if the tickets are sold on TE and an altercation occurs the STH will not be penalized. Just another reason to use TE .

I sold Jets tickets a couple of years ago via NFL TE and received a letter telling me essentially the same thing as your phone call.

RangersTown Game Show Night.
Have not been to one of these events in a while. They were quite fun a few years back. Not sure what to expect these days.
Anyone know if there will be food/booze? Better off eating before?
Who is going?

Thanks. I sent an email to my rep but have not heard back yet. I'll post if I get meaningful info.
Update: ", there will be some light snacks and soft beverages available. I would eat before if you had time to, any issues just let me know. "

Do you know what the cost of that is? I was on their demo call and had to drop off and never went on again.

That's why I was leaning against it. Skybox is free. Have you sat through the demo?

Did anyone go to the season ticket holder event last night? I'd imagine if did, I would have been non plussed that five of the players I'd most like to see: hank, mcd, zucc, buch and Hayes were court side at the knicks game instead...

Hayes was advertised to be at the event too and instead he went to the game. They advertised Hayes, Vesey, Skjei, and Carey. Understandable why Vesey wasn't there but bad look IMO for Hayes to be at the Knicks game and they replace Hayes and Vesey with Nieves and Pavelec...

The main guys almost never show up, it's even worse for the Knicks events, Carmelo & KP haven't been to anything. At least we've seen Hank & Zucc (he was at Central Park last month) and others at one point or another. It would be cool if they had meet the (whole) team events like other franchises
I got a pic with and autograph from Richter at the 5k run. That was actually a very enjoyable event and you don't need to be a STH. Boo was the only active player there.
At the Knicks meet and greet a month ago it was all the Knicks except KP, Hardaway and Ntilikina.
last nights was lame. last years was the same but better players and more fun. the game show questions were just plain awful, the games looked like they were made up on the drive over. Skeji and Carey did have a fun type of relationship it seems, they were fun to watch and seemed so in sync.
the 5k was excellent again, great engagement with the alums, a real cool time.

Yeah, last night's event was goofy (without Goofy!), a few laughs but really nothing compared to what they used to do just a few years ago. Clearly they do not hold season ticket holders in high regard anymore. Shitty gifts, (a miniature cornhole game? really?!) no food, no booze and no marquee players. A few fans got to participate on stage and were given some nifty looking jackets beforehand. If I had come away with one of those jackets I would have been pleased but really nothing good to report here. It's disappointing. Oh well, glory days of the STH are over.
who the hell is going to play a corn hole that small? it was ridiculous.
the guests were pre-picked as well, and I had tickets longer than that one whole family who kept going up.
will I go again, yes, probably because my life revolves around this team, but not really looking forward to it.
