It still a great place to buy secure tickets between fans.
All season, many of us have had to sell some of our tickets at 20% losses; I had to even sell some games at 50% my cost. Now that playoffs are here, the demand is high enough that a loss doesnt need to be taken, and it's a chance to recoup a portion of those losses.
The market price, as set by the public (and the Flames) is ussually very close to face value or a bit above. The Flames raise and lower Face with the market. So, we could have a rule of less than Face here, but in that scenario, nobody wins. No tickets would be posted here. Then, the buyer still pays way more due to high Ticketmaster fees, and the seller shares that burden. Selling here, even if above Face, saves the buyer and the seller money in the end.
Nobody here is a big business enterprise scalper. We're just trustworthy fans with season tickets that can't attend 45 + 16 games a season.
