Mrbojanglezs Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 I know it's getting ridiculous, especially concert tickets. You buy a concert ticket for $80 then there's a $40 convenience fee. I'd rather drive to the venue and pick up the ticket than pay for that junk fee

Ned Flanders Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 I use to troll the bus lot for extra tickets. There were always no shows because some dorks overslept or were too hung over from the night before. I found most times the group leader would be more than happy to unload a ticket for $10...meant a free beer for him inside the stadium (this is before you needed a loan to buy a beer inside). If groups are still issued paper tickets as described above, maybe this is still an option?

I have yet to try this. Last season I had the ticket office print probably 30 tickets and the total cost was $4. This season, if this ticket agent person was correct, 30 tickets would cost me about $150 just to have printed. The point is, I don't think that all printed tickets are fake (again, if this agent was correct). Anyone try to print this year at the ticket office? Expand You gotta negotiate with 'em Bobbaloo. Call back, tell them you're writing a number on a napkin for them to look at. Then video yourself sliding it to them and flip the napkin over for effect. Always works, especially if your number is higher than theirs.

Da webster guy Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 craigslist on the day before the game or the morning of works for me. just be sure to use paypal to cover yourself. Money transfer apps like Zelle are a no-no. If you watch the online sites like stubhub they'll be dumping tickets up until gametime. Your best option, which you've already done, is to create this post where thousands of ticket holders are. Somebody will surely step up for a guy with a couple thousand posts here (anyone....? anyone.....? bueller.....? )
Irv Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 When I was young and dumber I bought two tickets from a Scalper for my girlfriend and myself. Didn't look too close at them and price was cheap. They weren't even in the same section. Rookie move. Never again.

Just Jack Posted September 13, 2019 Posted September 13, 2019 I bought 5 additionals for the Eagles game in one of the clubs through my rep in the ticket office. They were able to print paper tickets, since the people I’m bringing have no interest in getting the Bills app for one game. I forgot what they charged for printing a ticket but it was reasonable. When talking with my rep, she said it’s a NY law that you must provide an option for printing paper tickets, you can not be fully digital. 1
