Question: I tried selling two Center Court, 3rd Row Basketball Tickets for a Big Ten game on SeatGeek last year and ate the tickets.
Any Success? What is your experience?

The Buyer fees are ridiculous on StubHub, so I just listed two tickets for Section 113 Row C between the benches on SeatGeek and no takers yet.
I saw higher priced tickets have been sold on StubHub since listing them on SeatGeek.

When I sell my tickets, I give more money to Rutgers Baseball.
 
I sold through SeatGeek a number of times (mostly parking passes for Football).

I try my best to avoid selling my basketball tickets in seatgeek, with the exception of non-conference games as I don’t want opposing fans sitting in my seats for conference games.

Buyer fees are crazy on SeatkGeek (about 30-40% fee on top of what the seller post the ticket for).

What game did you post? I may be interested, thanks.
 
put them at face value (amount you paid) on our board and MAKE SURE you sell to a Rutgers fan. If you want to get a bit more $ package it with a OOC game also at same "face value".

I think you paid $2100 so face value is $140 per ticket per game.

If you want more than $140 for the SHU game then you have to sell Columbia and SHU for $280.
 
I've had success on StubHub in the past but my asking price has been on the low end of what's out there. I'm not selling any this year for obvious reasons.

Richie has said multiple times last year that anybody can sell tickets on this board for whatever price they want.
Above face value is allowed!

You can try TickPick they don't charge fees I believe I bought a bunch of single seats there last year
 
Just message or call/text me and I have or know plenty of RU fans willing to pay face or slightly more.

Ticket and Parking Pass Exchange​

but it might be something to try along with seat geek and stub hub

I have two tickets and a green parking pass for sale for the Monmouth game on Friday November 15th.

Thanks I’m good for the Monmouth game.

Good luck you should have no problem getting at least face value for your tickets from folks on the ticket exchange board this year.
 
Do whatever you think will make you the most money for YOUR tickets. Don't let anyone on some message board tell you what to do with your property.
That is a total disrespect for your fellow season ticket holders that you sit next to.

I am upset that Rutgers has partnered with Seatgeek trying to make an extra buck.

If you sell on a secondary market your tickets should be revoked....end of story.

If we get to the point where there is not enough demand then my opinion on the topic changes slightly.

If anyone in the seats that surround me sold to an opposing fan I would not hesitate to confront them and ask them to stop.

Greene… should RU have their tickets revoked too? They sell many tickets on the secondary market.
Also RU partnered with Seat Geek in part because they realized that season ticket holders can’t attend every game and they like to be able to resell their tickets (and seat geek partners with who knows, maybe every other major college football team and probably professional sports teams as well).
Now that Richie is OK with tickets being sold at any price, what I hope is that people who want to resell their tickets will at least first try to sell it through this rivals ticket forum.

There were plenty of people selling last year in 105 around me…good times to get to know enemy fams …NOT

I refuse to sell them …and have NO problem getting extra into Rutgers fans hands
 
I wish someone would sell me tickets in 100s..I would pay for them

I sit in 205 and have been trying to move down for years. Last year I bought tickets in 105 mostly every game

I rarely sell my tickets = but sometimes things come up or work schedule doesn't allow and I have no choice to sell. I should have them revoked for selling one game a year??
 
The seats in front of me have been sold to others every game for years. Does anyone have a suggestion about reporting this to RU? Would anything change?

1000%. I've never sold an extra ticket for any RU sports game. I either give them to fellow RU fans for free or if I can't give them away, I burn them in front of opposing team fans.
 
In fairness to RCBeta, he, along with I, and a host of others, have attempted to sell on the board first
Generally, prior to this year or huge games, it's either no interest, people low balling offers, or the like

Sometimes, transactions work out
Often, they don't

This season is obviously an anomaly w/the excitement around the program
My rule of thumb is simple

If I sell, it's on this board for face or less
Smaller games, if I couldn't sell, I'd eat or give way

Larger games, I'd try on the board for face
If face wasn't happening, I'd discount significantly

If that wasn't happening, it went on the open market
I'd take the money and either donate to the R Fund, or allocate to NIL, as an empty seat isn't helping anyone

Michigan game 2 years ago were the biggest aholes I've ever seen, so I'm cognizant of that
Which is why I don't like going to the open market

nothing will change...might give you lip service and if they ever do a reseat they will look and see if that person doesn't donate to RU...they will be pushed higher at a minimum and could maybe lose their seats but I doubt it.

they literally partner with seat geek...and they make it incredibly easy to list your seats if you can't go in the SK app.

i resell tickets when i can't go to games...have three kids with activities that doesn't allow me to go to maybe 25% of the games...it helps offset the cost of my season tickets for football and basketball. and i also donate high four figures every year and i am by no means wealthy or even close to it.

if you asked the powers that be at RU if they would rather you give the tickets away or "burn them" vs. sell them and donate the proceeds back to RU (even if it means there might be a fan of another school there...the horror)...what do you think there answer would be?

if rutgers ever comes up with rules on how many tickets or how often you can sell i will adhere to those rules 100%. but they don't care...

I think you paid $2100 so face value is $140 per ticket per game.

Wait. Third row center court tickets are only $140 per ticket? WTF?

I've never bought RUBB tix and would've expected them to be way more than that for Big Ten games. I wouldn't have been shocked to find out that center court tix in the first 5 rows started at over $500 per ticket for season tix holders. So obviously I was way off in my estimates.

Given that the RAC has been selling out so consistently now, I'm very surprised RU hasn't jacked up the price of tickets more.
 
The only caveat I would add is to try and sell to established members of this board, as a scalper could easily create an account to get cheap tickets they could flip for a profit.
Ask them Dean Reiber's favorite song.....if they get it wrong find someone else. OR how many years of eligibility did/does Sheridan have

You guys are nickel and dimers.
It's his money. He can do whatever he wants with his money and his property (his season tickets) and if you don't like it, that's just too bad.

I know, right? The nerve of anyone to tell someone else what to do with their property is insane.

That means you also need to "report" the Rutgers athletic department for unloading tickets to SeatGeek and other secondary sellers. For football, they do that in order to falsely claim the games are "sellouts." Then you actually go and there's thousands of empty seats.

The only time I ever had a problem was actually with young, recently graduated, drunk RU guys.

RutgersBall … You keep referring to tickets as “property”. I have not read the fine print on tickets for many years. But there are probably reasons for Rutgers to rescind your ticket “privileges” if they care to.

As for the tickets behind you, I pay attention to them as I sit right beside them. They sell on stub hub and most of their seats are sold now. They also sell for a very high margin. For example out of the 6 they sell they have 2 left for the Seton Hall game at $720 with fees for the pair.

The face value is like $140 - but any Big Ten game on the secondary market you are looking at like $250 +

Also they have jacked up the price of tickets - we went up 25% year over year

RU Gary,

I have two tickets for the Monmouth game in Section 113 Row C and a Green Parking Pass for a total of $300.
If interested, please let me know.

As mentioned, I make an additional donation to Rutgers Baseball when I sell tickets to games I cannot attend.

Cool, if they did that I'd sue Rutgers Athletics and during discovery they'd be forced to admit that they sell Rutgers tickets to resellers, too. Then Rutgers pays me a giant settlement and the case is over.
@RutgersBall is probably the guy who sells his tickets directly behind me to opposing fans every single game.
I can sell my tickets to whoever I want, whenever I want, and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. Ha ha!
