I would say that most people have no idea Seat Exchange is open. Unless you visit
the forums it has not been advertised that the public can buy.
Plus it is very cold out and close to Christmas.
They sent out another blast email to everyone on their mailing list this evening about SeatExchange now being open to the General Public. That ought to get a few more tickets moving.
As a Wait List member, I'm ok with the move because I could see how many tickets were being unsold, even for marquee games like Montreal and Chicago. It only makes sense.
I would be even happier if we had an exclusive window to purchase tickets posted for sale, but maybe if we make enough noise we can get something like that.
Last year, when SeatExchange was open to the General Public, and fewer tickets were posted compared to this year, I still had no problem finding pairs to games like Toronto, Pittsburgh, Montreal, and so on. I don't think I'll have a problem securing the tickets I want going forward anyway.
