I'm curious as to how the teams know if you're selling.

The last time I attended a game, printed tickets were still being issued, so I'm not familiar with some of the technological changes and protocol since then.

Do the teams have some level of oversight with digital tickets when they're transferred to another party? 

 

 

They monitor on ticket exchange as well as other popular sites. It’s really easy (if they care). It is rare that they would care if someone is selling 2 or 4 to a game. That’s why they have those platforms. I think that the reseller issue is a MUCH bigger issue for concerts and other 1 off events. They artificially change the market and limit demand so much.

I asked about that in my visit and was advised that there is a hard limit now (going forward at the new stadium) on any one entity having over a certain amount of tickets, that will prevent much of that re-seller activity, and that they scour accounts for similarities of contacts, titles or names, phone numbers, etc. Maybe my rep was lying to my face about that, idk, but for what it's worth...

That’s probably true. They’ve certainly already cut the deals with the parties that they’ve worked with for a long time. They probably have 8-10 partners that they’re working with and have limited the number of total seats between them. I have a good friend that works for a company that’s the largest reseller on the college side. I’ll try to get some info from him as to how it’s being handled. On the college side they just make giant donations to the athletic department and then buy from there. It’s kind of PSLish

Part of it maybe that they can see how many times you list your seats on TM Ticket Exchange. 

That's right.

 

They monitor stub hub or ticket master and they can see the seats for sale and map it back to the season ticket holder.

 

Then you're busted

You’re acting as if you know this actually occurs.  From what I gather, you’re just surmising.

 

I think it’s highly unlikely the Bills (or any other team) are going to be monitoring and taking away season tickets from somebody who owns two seats, goes to a couple of games, and sells the rest.
