And yet you sell your tickets for face value, which amounts to $80 profit per game considering you pay season ticket holder price. If you attend 15 games and flip the rest, that means you profit $2,000 above what you pay as a season ticket holder for those 27 games. Nothing wrong selling at face value, and for some games that's awesome, but if you say you aren't in it for the profit why not sell them at your cost?  |
We take the money for all tickets sold and place it into an account we created, then at years end we use those funds to purchase the following years season tickets.
The difference between season ticket price and door price helps offset the games we don't end up selling as not every game during the year is in demand. This includes the 3,4 mandatory full price preseason games that folks aren't overly interested in. Thereafter, rather than sell some - we also donated some tickets to our children's sports communities for fundraisers etc to help them out.
So overall, this just helps us offset the cost each year to have our season tickets and to be able to sell them off to friends and family, donate any that don't sell, as well as use some for fundraising (etc).
It sounds like my method is not for you, and that's ok. Sorry for upsetting you.
