When I became a sth, I quickly realized there is a huge industry of ticket reselling. Here is the problem, if I can't use or find a home for my tickets, how do I get the tics into the hands of a flames fan, and not into the hands of a "ticket broker", while still receiving a fair price?
Kijiji is filled with flakes, who either stand up the buyer or the seller, with little method of recourse.
eBay takes about 12% of the sale but is a way to at least get something for your unusable tics. The downside is when a scalper buys your ticks for cheap, only to flip the tickets.
From what other sth cp'ers have told me, this is a good method of getting ticks into flames fans hands at fair prices. If your tics are sold then flipped, i cant speak for the mods, but i would assume they would take reasonable action. As they would with runaway brides.
After years of scrambling to find tickets to games, and sometimes paying absurd prices, I finally became a sth. Only then did I realize the extent of the "ticket broker" industry. I think it is up to all sth to try and keep tics away from this industry and into fans hands, with cp being a way of fighting the scalpers.
