FS Two excellent tix vs. Bucs @ face value

[BocciHawk]

Sorry for the FS post but it's clearly marked and with the game in about 50 hours, I need the exposure of the main forum.

I have two excellent tickets for sale for the game vs. the Buccaneers. We have six tickets total and I'll be there with my wife, my buddy and his son.

They are Section 109, Row P (15th row), and around the 47 yard line. Just high enough that you can easily see the far corners of the field. IMHO these are probably in the top 1000 seats in the whole building, depending on your personal taste. I picked them out on a day they were starting to roll out the Field Turf, before the seats were even installed.

Anyhow as a long term season ticket holder my cost for this game is $284 per ticket, $568 for the pair. Selling only as a pair, please.

If you are interested, please fire me a DM and we can sort it out. Probably easiest for you to PayPal or Venmo and for me to electronically send you the tickets. I've been registered for a long time here, and quite a few of you have met me at Temple Billiards many years ago... I have a signed Chad Brown football that I won in a raffle at one of those meetups LOL

I figured I'd post here first, definitely want these going to Seahawks fans if at all possible. I'll give it a few hours and then probably post over on the Seahawks subreddit... unless anyone has other suggestions for me.

Thanks in advance for reading!

Hope you find a rabid fan to buy these. If I were in town I’d swoop them up in a second.

I can’t believe how much face value for tickets are now. I remember going to the NFC championship game in 2006 and buying tickets for like $150 on the 20 yard line like 25 rows up. With that said, the game tomorrow should be a really good one against the Bucs.

Thanks for posting.
Hopefully a Seahawk fan will end up sitting in those seats.

I’m close enough that I’d buy them myself if I didn’t have a trip to MNF vs Texans already planned and paid for.

Best o Luck.

Yeah, it's nuts and frustrating.

I basically end up in a double whammy. Because the tickets are so goddamn expensive, if something happens and we have extras, it's important for fiscal sanity that I sell the extras.

Back in the day, I'd take random friends and not have them pay for their tickets, but that's not possible anymore.

The double whammy part is that because tickets are so goddamn expensive, it's hard to find buyers. These tickets are still available and I've been working on selling them for a few days, initially by contacting friends and having people network and stuff like that.

I'd take $450 for the pair at this point. Blue (and green) light special. My loss is your gain. Act now, offer for a limited time only! How can we do it? Volume!

Good luck. Those are ridiculously cheaply-priced. It's crazy that prices went up this year, AND tickets are harder to sell. I am baffled (where are you, 12's???), had planned to sell a few games, but it looks like I'll be going to all of them rather than sell low. The home schedule did not look great, but I think it's turning out to be very nice, and if I were a gambler I'd put money on us making the playoffs this year and winning at least one.

 

[BocciHawk]

Don't get me started. Prices went up on a per seat basis, and we only have eight home games, not nine. The result was something like a 20% increase in per game prices. It's ridiculous.

Back in the day, and it wasn't that long ago, it seemed the Seahawks recognized that people spent a lot of money on PSL and as a result the charter seats were generally very fairly priced, particularly compared vs club or suite that don't have PSL.

We're now at a point where people like me have to seriously contemplate changing what has been working for over 20 years. I can't simply pay for all the seats on my account. Some games I want to use six tickets, some games I want to use two tickets. In the past it hasn't been that hard to sell extras, even if it meant taking a small loss on game day selling for cash in the lot. These days I end up spending the entire week leading up to the game stressing if I'll be able to sell the extras or not -- and anticipating eating them, which sucks.

It was really nice being able to bring the whole family to the occasional game, but it's a luxury, and something that at the current ticket prices, is unaffordable if it means that selling extras is difficult if not impossible.

So we'll probably end up selling PSL on the market, keeping four probably, selling two, and we'll never have the option to have six of us go ever again. I can't justify it given the cost.

(My ticket bill was $20k this year.)

This is only my second year, but I get what you're saying. If playoff options were not included, buying season tickets in this year's market makes no sense - I can buy better seats for less than what I paid. I don't get why prices are so high, but I also don't get why so many season ticket-holders are selling the majority of their tickets - every game I'm surrounded by the opposition. Actually, in the three games I've attended this year, I've only seen one person anywhere near us that I had seen at other games. I will definitely keep my tickets for next year, as the schedule is incredible, but things really need to change. I'd really love to hear a few people tell me I'm wrong about the way things are heading.

 

[BocciHawk]

Where I sit, pretty much everyone right around us is there every single game. In fact, the guy I sat next to for years died a while back, and his son sits next to me all the time now.

The exception is the seats in front of us for two or three rows, it's obvious it's all ticket brokers and resale.

I think that's the flip side of all this -- the ticket brokers somehow manage to get top dollar still, so the Seahawks keep raising ticket prices, seeing what the market prices at, and yet, as someone who is just a fan, albeit one that has had season tickets for 27 years or something like that now, I can't get that kind of money.

Raising prices doesn't seem to be hurting the ticket brokers, but it's certainly hurting fans.

 

[Trackhawk]

@BocciHawk If still available, I will take them at full face value.

I’m about to get in the car to start the 8 hour drive, but I should have good service most of the way.

 

[BocciHawk]

Ironically I went to take them down after sending Trackhawk a PM and they had sold on Ticketmaster marketplace. Oh, well. Hope it's not filthy Bucs fans.
