Anyone want tickets for tomorrows game? Section 110

[ChiCubsFan]

If anyone wants tickets to tomorrows game I have 4 available. Section 110, row 12. Really good seats. At this point I'm fine with taking less than face value. Face is $40 each (was $200 for all 4 plus fees). Send me an offer. Best offer wins. I'll also split into pairs if you only want 2. Don't be shy, PM me your offers. I'll meet you before the game or drop them off tonight if you live close enough to me. I'll be at the game tomorrow in the bleachers, so meeting up beforehand is no problem. Thanks! (And thanks to nsbb for permission to post this)

Yeah its possible. It's also possible if you go early enough to sell to a ticket broker in their stores. They won't offer face though. You might be able to propose a trade - those tickets for (worse) tickets to another game.

 

If you are trying to sell tickets for over face outside Wrigley and aren't a licensed broker, you will very likely get a ticket from a cop if they catch you, and they do have undercover cops at a lot of games pretending to buy tickets.

I'm definitely not looking to sell for over face. At this point I'd be ecstatic with $10 less than face per ticket, but thanks for the advice. I am going to be getting there 2 hours before gametime at least, so I'll maybe just try to sell to a broker so I don't have to deal with it.

I've had success selling to brokers before. You can definitely expect to make less than face, but it's an easy way to unload the tickets if you can't go and you're looking to get at least some of your money back.

Also, I've had great luck in the past posting tickets on Craigslist. It never hurts to put them up there with a phone number or email address. In fact I would go do that right now no matter what just to add more chances that someone bites on them.

How much less are you talking? The price on the ticket is 40 or 42 I believe and 50 with fees. I'm assuming they don't even take into account all the fees I paid. So are we talking about 20 per ticket? 30? What's your best guess?

I had 2 extras ($45 face) for tonight's game. Asked 2 different brokers outside the ballpark what they would give me for them. First broker said he wasn't interested, second offered me $5 each. Obviously, the rain tonight was killing the demand for tickets. Best I've ever gotten from one of the brokers out there was about half of face.

 

Be advised that selling tickets in the area around Wrigley Field requires a brokers' license..... even if you are trying to sell them for face value or less !!!!

 

Craigslist and/or StubHub are the best ways to go in my opinion.

Didn't know that about requiring a brokers' license. The tix are down to $30 a piece on stubhub and still nothing. That would lose me $80 and I'm still getting no bites. Oh well. Looks like I'm losing big on this one.

Sadly I have an exam today or I'd be all over this; especially for that price.
