NHL Ticket Exchange by TicketMaster

[burn_baby_burn]

Has anyone had any success posting tickets on the new ticket exchange? Anyone shopping there for Flames tickets?

I have sold one set of tickets out of over 15 listings. Face value for my tickets in section PL10 row 1 are $42. I have them listed for $28 with very little success.

I have looked for a link on the Flames site for the ticket exchange and can't seem to find one. With my NFL tickets, the Chiefs have game tickets and the NFL ticket exchange tabs available on the same page. I see no similiar link with the Flames. Are the Flames purposfully not providing a link because most listings are way below their asking price for tickets?

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.

I sold one game (Detroit) very quick for less than door but higher than my cost and didn't sell my tickets to the Sharks game but took it down the morning if the game due to selling to someone I know.

Ideally, I would like to sell all my extra tickets on the ticket exchange because I like having the proceeds go directly onto my account. However, I have much better results selling them here on CP. But that is a very limited group of ticket buyers and usually it comes down to the day before or the day of to make the sale.

I was really hoping this NHL Ticket Exchange would take off and I could have tickets sell without having to lift a finger outside of listing the tickets. Looks like that won't be the case.

Check out how the NFL does it.

Resale tickets are listed right along with tickets available from the venue. The site to post Kansas City Chiefs tickets and Calgary Flames tickets are exactly the same. Chiefs promote the ticket exchange site. Flames do not.

There must be a difference between US and Canandian teams. I looked for tickets on the NY Rangers site. It is exactly like the Kansas City Chiefs with the resale tab right beside the venue tab. Toronto Maple Leafs looks like the Flames with no links to the NHL Ticket Exchange.

I successfully sold two tickets for the Avs game later this month in Sec 221. Sold them for $49.99 each but the site shows it at $50.00 per seat. Must have sold it for too low .

Can you post the link to NHL ticketed change? Might help. I've never heard of it.

I guess that is the problem. STH know about it. Buyers do not, because of the complete lack of promotion by the Calgary Flames. I guess I need to get the word out there.

It beats putting games up on and getting several responses that serves the seller no purpose for what they are offering.
Typical can I buy your Van, Tor, Mon, Bos, Wsh, Pit game ???
I sell whatever game I want usually within the same day on Kijiji and not have to put up with the insulting requests.
I appreciate that CP tries to put sellers and buyers together but some responses are not even relevant.
The Flames have not done a very good job promoting this launch. Most Non STH even know it started up this year.

I've sold two games on the NHL site: http://www.ticketsnow.com/calgary-fl..._TE__PAGE_LINK

It's a little bit of a pain to set them all up within the STH account, as there isn't a way that you can mass upload multiple games. You also can't modify the number of tickets remaining if that changes, without removing them completely, and then reloading the available tickets.

What I really like about the system is it's linked directly with the STH account. The tickets are uploaded with bar codes, so when sold they immediately vanish from your STH account. The buyer is able to have the tickets as soon as they pay for them. TM takes 10% from the seller, which I think is fair, and then charges the buyer a 15% fee. This appears as a TM charge, so they know it's not the seller getting that money. I also like how payments can be directed to the STH account. I'll likely use that next year, as I pay my bill in the two instalments.

The first game I sold was the NYE game. I listed the tickets on October 31 and they sold on November 3 for about double face value. A cheque was issued by them on November 8, and I received it today. It did come from the States. It would be nice if this process was quicker and if I could just link my bank account to it for direct deposit.

The second game I sold was the San Jose game earlier this week for $45 per ticket. With the fees it worked out to being about what I paid the Flames for it. The buyer got it for about 88% of the face value when all fees were added in. That's a win - win in my books. Payment was issued on the 11th, but I have not received it either.

Since TM gets a nice commission on each sale, I would have thought that they'd want the information out there to be more prevalent. On any tickets I've printed in PDF there has been an ad on it. I've seen this ad for a few years, but it's only been this year that Calgary has taken part of it. Maybe people got sick of looking there for tickets that weren't available.

Can you scan these tickets from smart phone?

Does this site have issues via smartphone for anyone else?
