Viking Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 16 hours ago, Slynx said: Signed up as a new full season ticket member (was slightly unhappy because the costs for seasons were 5% above renewal) just right before the playoffs and was able to get playoff tickets which I sold for a hefty profit. I just went to the seat relocation and I was able to downgrade to half seasons at the renewal pricing. The seats were in a location I'm happy with as well. The profits from the playoffs tickets sold practically pay for the entire cost of the half seasons. So extremely happy as I was unsure if I could make 41 games + preseason. Smart move on your part to buy in early to get access to the playoff tickets and sell for a massive markup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rypper_37 Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Those are all corporate seats tbh as they get major tax write offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tickets I resell are primarily on Ticket Exchange. Rarely on StubHub, only when I really needed to discount the tickets (Ticket Exchange only lets you discount to a certain level).

He got caught, sadly. This does happen. Remember that the reps earn commission and selling kind of takes work away from them, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ticket Exchange (Ticketmaster) only, yes, or else you'll be flagged for commercial resale. Looks like he set up a corporate account instead as it probably better suits his needs. You're also not allowed to give tickets away in contests without written permission from the Canucks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bt116 Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 I think it’s also ok if we transfer tickets to family and friends from time to time. looks like the folks in the thread got caught because they transferred way too many tickets to various emails throughout the season, hence they got flagged for reselling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even mentioned all of the different emails he transferred them to. I sent two VIP tickets I bought to one email around Christmas time and never got a warning. I believe it's on a case by case basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true - that's impressive because I lost money on nearly every pair I sold over the last 7 years I had ST's (excluding this past season) I couldn't even give tickets away in the last 2 years I had my ST's because the team had become so terrible and the fanbase shrivelled up dramatically and so I finally gave them up after over 2 deacdes losing thousands on games I couldn't attend and wasting countless hours and stress of trying to sell tickets. Now i just buy tickets on craiglist or last minute on TM and get them for cheap for any game I desire- with ease! Even the UBIV's were only selling for $120/ea in the 1st round this past season, which was barely above cost so I'm not sure how that guy made massive profits because even the tickets posted for Round 2 on the most expensive resale site (Ticketmaster) were only 20-40% above cost - go figure !
