I had a couple games listed for cheap (my cost +10% so I could break even). No action so far. Definitely not an easy site to find. After listing mine I went to the Flames site to locate the actual listing and had to use Google to find it. I don't think the Flames make anything on the resale so I guess they don't care for the link. If games were constantly sold out they may have a different approach.

Since it's affiliated with ticketmaster, I had actually expected them to have a tab for resale on the each individual game page next to the "Interactive Seat Map" and "Best available" or maybe even have them show up in the map search. This would obviously take away from their rip off prices so its all hidden away.

I think the ticketsnow.com site will pick up more as people get familiar with it and realize prices are cheaper than StubHub. Right now it's much easier to sell on StubHub even though they take 15% and everything is in USD so we all lose on the exchange.
