Sorry to sound stupid, but where are you seeing these $15 tickets? are you referring to stubhub? I see cheap tix there but those are for the crappy teams.

DonaldBrashear Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 The tickets on TicketExchange cannot be printed for 72 hours. Was it always like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it always like this? never seen this... people would rather buy tickets on stubhub than buying on ticketexchange.. i understand they probably want to avoid people scalping tickets.. but should have done that long time ago... but right now, no one are buying tickets even at STH prices, let alone on ticketmaster or ticketexchange prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonaldBrashear Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 Ya it makes no sense. What if you want to give the tickets as a Christmas gift? They are actually encouraging people to use stubhub because you get the tickets right away. Especially if you want hard copy. What happens if you go down to Rogers Arena box office and buy tickets in person? I guess that's the only way to get tickets right away, buy at the box office? Don't get why they would restrict printing of resale tickets though. Ticketmaster has the perfect opportunity to destroy stubhub and yet they refuse to take it. They don't have to deal with fraud like stubhub does so they could perpetually lower prices/fees until eventually they starved stubhub. Boggles my mind why they don't do this. Then when stubhub has lost market share, buy it cheap from ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of reasons to go to the home opener! I bet the 50/50 jackpot gets over $200,000 to the winner. It could even hit $250,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it's working now.....yesterday I was getting the same error. It looks like the Canucks wanted a head start selling their tickets. I noticed tickets I traded away for the Carolina game during ticket exchange/upgrade are listed. I find it hard to believe someone else traded a game for my Carolina tickets, then decided to sell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell when they are listing tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it always like this? I belive that's a new feature starting this season, must wait until within 72hrs of the game to print the tickets. Most likely an effort to prevent people from scooping fair priced tickets posted early by good hearted fans only to try and flip them for a profit.

That solves the issue for people buying them as gifts. Am I mistaken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonaldBrashear Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 I noticed some really weird stuff on stubhub today with inventory. There was like 1000 tickets left for sale for the home opener against Calgary. Then all of a sudden it (along with all the other games) went up about 300 tickets, to like 1300 tickets for sale. Then a few hours later dropped back down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched all games for the entire season slowly activate and gain 300-400 listings, then they all deactivated. Some of the games were up to 1800 seats. Then one by one then all dropped back down to current levels. It was odd. Makes me think someone has 300 tickets. Either a broker, the canucks themselves, or maybe one of those "resellers" jovocop was talking about who bought seats cheap. Doesn't seem like much is selling on there though. Is the "ticket exchange" any better for selling tickets? Do you sell your tickets mostly through there, or through stubhub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I have been able to sell at least one pair to each of the October games using Ticket Exchange, even the Washington game. It looks like with the UBIV it will be possible to use TE for most games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find even though Ticket Exchange might sometimes end up costing more for the buyer, it does provide them with a piece of mind and they would rather pay a little more to buy on TE than on Stubhub. I was able to sell some tickets on TE last year. I prefer using TE as they don't take that big of a cut compared with Stubhub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonaldBrashear Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 I dont like ticket exchange because they charge more. From what i see they charge the seller 5% but they charge the buyer 27.5% at checkout. So for every $100 in ticket sales they earn like $33. Stubhub takes 10% from seller but only seems to add around 17% at checkout so they are around 27% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total after fees is $63.50, that's 27%. For a pair of $50 tickets.....total is $122....22%. On a pair of $100 tickets....total is $239, so down to 19.5%. Ticket Exchange is 26.75% across all price ranges. With 5% seller instead of the 10%. For the Alberta teams is 21.75% across all price ranges........but they have 10% seller. I don't know why they did that, when it works out the same. Some sort of mind experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
