Rangers Season Tickets Holders: Part XII

[JimmyG89]

All that's doing is putting off seat listings on the exchange they run, not the others.

It's not the best idea, but they'd have to recoup tickets that you sold if you didn't pay. I'm sure that wouldn't be easy to do.

I have posted every game for the season on ticket exchange. I'm at the point that I don't care which games I end up at, but I can't go to a bunch of them. Sell what I can and go to the others.

Have you ever gotten a call from them about that? I'm hesitant to do that and I'm like you where I don't care what games I end up at.

Not as of right now. I was able to post them on Ticketmaster in full on Sunday night. Nothing yet. My prices are also below the face value of the section I'm in for a single game, but more expensive than what I paid for them. I don't want to be the one to reach out to them first and let them know that I'm planning on going to a set # of games and selling the rest after listing every game, but I can see why that is suspicious.

Received an email from the Mets yesterday to ensure my 2019 season tickets. They have some sense of humor.

Relocation for my yankee tickets is tomorrow morning.

The second the Rangers enforce that they lose 80% of their season ticket holders.

In what world would it be the Rangers' job to enforce that? I'm picturing Colton Orr wrangling people up and tossing them into Ranger prison.

Rumor is Hollweg would come back to the US and go around boarding the violators in the middle of sidewalks into buildings.

IIRC the Rangers used similar language in their renewal. I know I pasted it in this thread (or its predecessor).

Yeah, it's probably good legal sense for them to include it. But it's not a matter of what they will or will not enforce, that's not their issue.

I may have misread it to require a license from the rangers/yankees rather than NYS.

It's a State license, $5000 annual fee plus storefront requirement and bonded insurance policy. The spirit of the law is to keep first party brokers honest but the reality is everyone is selling through large marketplaces like Stubhub where 30% fees are the defacto bonding and consumer guarantee. No prosecutor is giving you more than a slap on the wrist for unloading your 6 season tickets and to my knowledge has not ever happened at all in the roughly 10 years this has been on the books

 

[GordonGecko]

interesting quirk in the Knicks variable pricing. For some reason with seats in different sections but same total season cost, each game face value differs by +- $0.50 to $1.50. The 44 game average is the same for both locations

 

[Polar Bear]

I think they are making it up as they go along. I wasn't able to list any game at all. I contacted them and all of a sudden you can list any game (I haven't looked at all the games though) even if you're not paid up

So the monthly installment option would be pointless then, since I wouldn't be able to sell the games I can't make until I paid in full?

When the activated yes that's how it was, but after I called them they opened up the whole system to list anything even if you had payments left. So I'm not sure if it's a glitch, or they thought better of it, or if that's something they'll do next year

I called about yankee season tickets this year and the rep asked me how many games I was looking to attend. I said maybe 5 and he asked me what I would do with all the other games I said sell and give to my customers. He told me that if I was selling 40 percent or more of my games online that they would pull my season tickets

That's really dumb.

 

[GordonGecko]

Dumb and illegal. Dumb because Yankee tickets are overpriced and speculators eat up tons of their inventory they would not otherwise sell. Illegal because that's against New York State ACA law, teams are not allowed to punish ticketholders in any way for reselling any or all of their tickets

Where did you sell them?

 

[patnyrnyg]

Giants have changed their policy. Either original hard tickets or on your smartphone. No more print-at-home. Not sure if that is also for the parking passes.

Just got an email from the Rangers. Anyone who purchases a plan in the lower bowl from now through the end of August gets a Lundqvist jersey. Seems like a hell of a deal to spend $400 on a pair of tix to most games to get a jersey worth $150.

cheapest available is 11-game plan for $2716 per seat which is $246 per game for a single at the top of the rink end

Does not compute
