Texans Tickets: How do I beat the scalpers???

Good luck beating the scalpers because you will not be able to.

 

You should invest in season tickets. You're always gauranteed the same seats. You can request an upgrade each year. You can sell half the tickets to recoup the cost and get in the other half for free.

Good luck.

 

You're right about that. I have season tickets in the bull pen, and recouped half the costs just by selling my tickets to two games last year.

 

I'd try a stick or a baseball bat

 

2-4 times the face value on ebay. Maybe more. I made some good money with some of my rockets season tix last year on ebay.

 

So you want to beat the scaplers so you can scalp the tickets yourself?

 

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. I don't think his request was based in the morality of scalping; he just wanted to get a fair price on tickets.

 

What kind of tickets did you have for the rockets, i just got season tickets and was going to sell the ones i didnt use, any input would be helpful

 

I was in the upper level, mid court, row 1.

 

Could you sell most games? How much profit?

 

How true is this?!? We are thinking about buying a group of tickets for the office. Where do you sell them. I saw EBay. Can you also get better prices by selling them to ticket brokers?

(BTW guys, scalping is legal in Texas. They're called ticket brokers.)

 

I was just noting the irony of the post.

 

Also, do you have to sell "the good games" to recoup your money, or do all the seats tend to sell at twice the face?

 

It really helps if it is a good game. Looking at ebay, the Steeler game looks like the hottest ticket of the season. Obviously, the Arizona game is not going to sell as high as the Rams. I have rarely seen a ticket go for under face value, even if it is a dog game. Many people still haven't seen the stadium yet. But for the maximum profit, I would think the Steeler game would be it.
