Chilly Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Ended up grabbing some on ebay before the prices jumped way up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I don't blame you at all for making the money, trust me, I do the same at times. It just is rubbing it in the face a little bit when guys are stuck in cue and frustrated and you are talking of scalping them. Sort of like passing by a line in front of a FEMA water handout waiting in 95 degrees a week after a hurricane, and then dumping a bottle of water over your head while yelling "Boy, does that feel good!" I am with you though in feeling the rush for tickets. I gave in on Tuesday and ended up buying 2 more season tickets figuring I would have no problem making money on Seattle, Cleveland and probably New England. We really do have it lucky here to buy a season seat for $300. That's the face value for a center ice seat to a Leafs game. That's American free enterprise, baby. It ain't illegal, and who knows how long we can enjoy it. Besides we're doing our part to fill the stadium. If buying ST's is too rich for you then it's a shame but that's about it. NFL tickets aren't going to get cheaper. I'd like to give kudos to the Bills for not gouging us on Ticketmaster fees. $3 a ticket is more than reasonable.

Then another $5-12 for shipping depending on how many tickets you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM57 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 My friend just placed another call to BBTICKS for the hell of it. Browns game is now sold out and they're 95% sure the Seattle game will be before tickets are available to the general public Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taterhill Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 my guess is we will have 54-55K season ticket holders by the end of July Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought 6 tickets and paid $18 in fees. That's all. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I was on hold for 30 minutes starting at 9, but managed to get through. Of course the only available tickets are upper deck. They are saving the others for possible season ticket purchases, nice.... I LUST ..er.. LOVE the avatar!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altleg Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 How? Tix single game didn't go on sale till today?? Unless I'm missing something....

Browns game is now sold out and they're 95% sure the Seattle game will be before tickets are available to the general public It is quite possible that all games other than SF will be "sold-out" after the groups get their shot...of course, after the first preseason game, a couple of thousand seats will "magically" become available for each game.

It looked tough the other day. The only 100 or 200's available for seasons are in the scoreboard endzone, and not the rockpile. Those seats are still around for groups and seasons. There were still some decent seats between the 20's in the upper deck, but a bit high up. After today, I wouldn't be shocked to see a run on the remaining season tickets and the whole stadium sold out by July. F Toronto! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The damages: HOME OPENER: Group of 5 friends in Section 309, Row 32/33: $249 through BBTICKS Brother and his friend in Section 143, Row 3: $166 through StubHub MONDAY NIGHT: Myself and 3 friends, Section 120, Row 7: $300 through StubHub. Honestly, I just paid $75 for a $50 seat but I don't care at all. Because come August or September, the seats remaining for the Browns game will all be in excess of $100, especially since its a game where fans from both teams could conceivably be there. I'm happy. Everyone got what they wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike32282 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Um, no. I bought 6 tickets and paid $18 in fees. That's all. PTR Maybe it depends on how many tickets you buy. I had two transactions. One had a whole bunch of tickets for friends and myself. That averaged out to $5 per ticket for the convenience fee. Then i had one where my buddy needed 6 tickets to the Chargers game. They charged $36 for the convenience fee. That's $6 per ticket. Plus $4 shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
