Thanks BB. I have sold and bought tickets on S2 and agree we should be straight up about costs on this board. OK to make a profit, just be truthful. If someone (or me) posts they are selling tickets at what it cost them, you want to believe it.
"face value" and "what I paid" are two different things. I don't think this guy was out to screw anybody.
Tickets to the first lakers game which is a "premium price game" in a purple section like 320 = $75. http://ev8.evenue.net/cgi-bin/ncomm...ntext=&pc=&caller=&appCode=&groupCode=SG&cgc=
It could have happened for sure and probably did based on what he said. I just say that was not his face value.
I just bought two Lakers tickets (sec 210) yesterday and the price was 110 dollars for each ticket. That is the face value because they are not season tickets. My price for my seats (sec 211) are 63 dollars each face value. My cost is 49 dollars per ticket with the season ticket holder price.
You could very easily say either one, sec 210 or 211 face value is $110, that's what it would cost someone to go out and buy them off the TB site. To nit pick about someone saying face value is a certain price when they get it less because they are a season ticket holder is just that nit picking. Who cares? Really what matters is what he's willing to sell it for and what someone is willing to pay for it.
Good god man get over it unless you have proof he went out and he lied please just stop. As thrills said how much someone paid and how much face value is are two different things. If I get tickets for free and decide to sell then is $0 "face value"? Dammit
What does the ticket literally have as its price? That is the face value, whether someone else can get them for free or whether they're selling for a thousand bucks each. Ed O.
His tickets have a face value of 45 dollars gate price. His season ticket face value price is 34 dollars a ticket.
Fascinating thread. Wish I'd read it. Another victory for my "read 'em backwards" method. Saves time.
