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.

The Rangers do the same thing with the Rangers Ticket exchange. I sold a game against the Bruins for 70/each and a game against the Flyers for 80/each and my tickets face value is 30 each. They take a 5% commission. In the literature they send with my tickets, they make it clear that the ticketexchange is the only permissible re-sale method. Do they monitor Ebay and StubHub? No idea, but no point in risking it, imo.
