Not Renewing My Season Tic's

My friend and I stub hubbed our season tix last year. He spoke to the Skins office and they gave him the go ahead. The Skins sanction resale through stub hub and, in fact, advertise it at the games.

I don't think they sanction other ways of resale. It may be one of those where DS says - "If you do it this way it's okay (since I get a cut). If you do it any other way, I'll revoke your tix since I get nothing out of it".

As for those who oppose reselling as it may give opps the ability to take our seats, I say then buy my tix. I buy them and resell them, not for a profit but so that I can hold onto them year to year and get better seats. The Preseason is a bitch but I look forward to being able to take my son to games in our seats. That includes those games that may be prohibitive (Dallas, Philly) in years where there is something at stake.

For the Dallas game this year, tix for seats comprable to mine went for 3x there face value on stub hub. Sorry, it's worth it to me to hold onto them and stub hub them until my financial situation improves.

Well I only got my season tickets last year and I have decided not renew them unless someone can talk me into keeping them. My thinking is that I only go to a few games each year and it would be cheaper and much easier than haviing to sell my other tickets to just buy ones for a few games. I have four and have to buy 8 preseason tickets at $65.00 which is $520 which is a wasted because I don't go to those and could not sell them. If I add that to the games I attend at a cost of about the same $520 that gives me around a thousand dollars to spend for tickets without any hassel of selling tickets. You also have other cost and taxes which would bring that figure to around $1,200. So if I wanted to go to two games a year and its just me an the wife I would have $300 per ticket to spend and could get much better seating than section 428. So what do youu guys think?

I think going out to Fed Ex sucks. I go to one pre season game a year and that's it. I'd rather stay home and save the money.

Well it seems as if you go to some games, you are safe, if you decide to sell ALL of them online, then you will have them revoked.

I enjoy going to the games but I can only make about two games a year. We drive down early so getting into the stadium is never a problem. We stay the night a couple of miles away and hang out at the stadium Tail gating for several hours after the game so once again trafic is not an issue.

If I'm correct they can track the ticket sales in stubhub so I would make sure you get permission every year from the ticket office and write down the person you spoke with to be safe.

I live in NJ and have season tickets. I go to about 5 games a year and sell the rest. Depending on the game I usually either lose money or break even after online fees. Contrary to what non ticket holders think the only game you can really make profit on is the Dallas game but it's also the one game you hate to sell. So I would agree you can probably save some money by not having season tickets and buying individual games, but personally I waited over 20 years to get my season tickets and I take pride in being a season ticket holder. It seems a little silly, but when I sit in my seats it means more to me and feels different then if I were in any other seat in there. If you don't get that same feeling when you sit in yours then you should definitely let them go.

That's a sticky situation, but it sounds like giving up your seats and scalping/stub hub is your best way to go, especially since you do not live in the DC area.

If you could somehow package the other 6 games and get the value of those 6 + the 2 preseason games, it would be worth it. It's probably a catch-22, since the 2 games you probably go to are the Cowboys and either Giants or Eagles, and those are the games that would fetch the most.

I know what you saying about the feeling you get going to the game as a ticket holder it just feels a little different. Like these are my seats in our house. Its not a thing of affording the tickets but more of is it very practical way to spend my money and the hassell of selling the other tickets at a loss.

Exactly.

My Uncle has season tickets for 5 seats in the nosebleed section. Every year he has a guy (the same guy, who is a skins fan) that is willing to purchase those seats from him. He uses the money from selling those seats to purchase 2 better seats off of Stubhub or somewhere. We get great seats every year by selling the less attractive seats.
