If you can be identified the Rutgers ticket office could be alerted and perhaps your tickets get reviked next year.
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?
- Thread starter RCBeta79
- Start date
Just to add to the "Rutgers doesn't care" stance...
I bought some additional tickets to a game and they clearly came from a brokerage house. Weren't even trying to hide it lol. Account name is just the ticket partners.

Great! I'm not sure how to message here so I'll just leave my email
And that's a win win for the baseball program!

Hi Gary,
I just transferred the Monmouth game tickets and parking pass to your email.

With all due respect, several points:
1) rutgers has a right to allocate tickets to season ticket holders and/resellers any way they wish to, and change the rules any way they want to... To revoke or assign tickets any which way they wish to. To the poster who says he'll sue and win: no way you have a case. You do not own "rights" to your tickets from year to year. Now, can rutgers revoke your tickets within the season once you have paid and "received" them? That I don't know. They may need cause. But for the next season? At least until they sell you the next season the tickets are rutgers' to do with them as they wish.
2) sometimes, for either occasional games or even blocks of games, a season ticket holder may not be able to attend or use some or maybe even most or all of their tickets. Maybe health, or business travel, or temporary relocation. But the tickets are "owned" and fully paid for by that season ticket holder. Who is anyone on this board to tell said ticket holder what to do with their tickets? Maybe a ticket holder needs the money from an above cost sale. Maybe a ticket holder can't afford the entire season, and the only way they can afford to go to only some games us to sell other games at well above their cost to recoup or offset their expense of buying the entire season.
3) and some have suggested if a ticket holder can't go to the games they should not buy the season tickets and let someone else who was shut out get season tickets. Except there are "points" granted for consecutive seasons as a ticket holder which would then be list if a ticket holder gives up their seats for just one season even. Also, I can personally attest to the non-dollar cost of giving up seats for just ONE season: I gave up 3 fantastic seats in the 100 level for JUST ONE SINGLE SEASON due to health considerations plus temporary job-related relocation, taking one 300 level seat to maintain a multi-decade consecutive season ticket holding point bonus. And because of that I am now shut out of the 100 level seats... Just one season doing that. I should have kept my seats and sold every game.
4) some say ticket holders should only sell to rutgers fans. The only way to do that is to sell on this board... And to reveal one's private contact info on a public board. No way would I put on this board my email or phone number. And not even sure I'd want to reveal those in a chat room. I feel that is a huge security risk.
5) why do fans without tickets, who either were unwilling to purchase a season ticket package, or even we're shut out the last 2 seasons after NOT shelling out money for the years the way some had when the tickets were less popular, have a "right" to buy tickets at face value? And why do some posters think they have the right to "demand" or even to JUDGE, those who have been loyal purchasers of season tickets for decades, or who have given enough money to rutgers to have high "points" that enable the purchase of prime season tickets, if they wish to use years of loyalty and expense to make some profit to offset many years of large expense?

Rutgers gives 1,000 basketball to their third-party seller every home game. That’s a larger percentage of RAC seats than SHI stadium (5,000). Can’t blame fans for doing the same though I think most try RU first when it’s convenient.
Maybe somebody misspoke or you misheard but that number just seems WAY off - I could see them maybe giving 100, but 1000 is crazy considering the size of our arena and factoring in the student section. What would Seat Geek even do with that many tickets - I certainly don't see anywhere close to that number on their site on a game to game basis. Again 100 seems like the more likely number here, but would be surprised if it's even that - not sure they get anything at all.

It is about being kind to the people around you. People you may have been sitting next to for 10+ years.
There’s no way 1,000 bball tickets go to third-party.
We have essentially shut out oppposing fan bases from the RAC the past few years and the best way for them to get tickets is through the third-party. If there were 1,000 available we would have seen way more opposing fans.
I would guess there’s no more than a few hundred that go to SeatGeek (and StubHub prior).
It’s accurate. May it have changed? Idk. Richie can request the agreement from past years (or anyone for that matter). 1000 bball 5000 football.
No way is that accurate for basketball. No way.
Explain to me how there are only 100 total listings for the Wagner game then on SeatGeek (this amount would also include Season Ticket holder listings).
Maybe it changed with seat geak. Maybe the tickets have been sold already and come off secondary market based on demand.
It still remains it was a confirmed practice of RU athletics as it relates to fans doing similar with their season tickets.
Sojo is correct, as of a few years ago, per KOR, that was the number
I'd imagine it was part of the agreement in order for them (SG) to take 5k FB tickets
Has the agreement been reworked? Possibly (and I'm sure likely, yes)
Remember though, SG doesn't have to post all of the tickets at once - they'd essentially be flooding the market by doing so
The ticket game, like a lot of things in life, is all about supply and demand

1000 tix does not come close to adding up or making sense - Maybe that's what was said, but there is definitely a lot more to the story if it was. Seatgeek would be paying Rutgers (or NCAA) for the rights to be their official ticket reseller - not the other way around. There is not 1000 tickets on the secondary market put out by Seat Geek to each game - no way, not even close if it's happening. So then the question becomes where do these 1000 tickets go? Again, if this 1000 tickets is true (and I seriously question if it actually is) there is a lot more to it.

Maybe it was correct a few years ago before season tickets were sold out. Or maybe before conference games were selling out well in advance through the mini plans.
Or maybe it was the amount given if there were unsold tickets leading up to a game.
But I highly doubt it was the number the past couple years or that it is the number this year.
And I highly doubt it was the number for conference games the past few years. If 1,000 tickets were being given to Stubhub/SeatGeek we would have seen way more opposing fans in the building as they are the ones more willing to pay above face value. We have almost shut out opposing fans from the RAC the past 3-4 years aside from maybe a few hundred per game and that’s mostly because almost all seats were being accounted for through season tickets, mini plans and single ticket sales.

I agree it's highly unlikely it's anywhere near that amount now, and certainly not in 100 or 200 levels
It's likely 300 level corners, upper rows and not 1,000
Seat Geek (and/or Dynamic Pricing Partners) most certainly provides RU with different metrics, including the average prices on tickets sold in different sections to different games.
This allows Rutgers to price season, mini, and single tickets more in line with optimal value.
As part of the agreement, it makes sense to give a certain number to Seat Geek and/or Dynamic Pricing Partners OR (in the case of football but not bball this year) having some sold through secondary market If they are still available for sale by Rutgers.

Agree with this, but if the number is still indeed 1k bball tickets that RU gives SG, then Hobbs got fleeced on the deal
I agree that there are analytics that Seat Geek provides, and that Rutgers analyzes for pricing purposes - makes sense. That being said there is no reason for Seat Geek to have tickets other than to potentially manipulate the market, and drive prices up. But even then you really wouldn't need anywhere close to 1000 tickets to do that, and more importantly I don't really see that happening as it's a slippery slope (and possibly illegal?). Again, I'm not saying I don't believe what others say they heard, but what I am saying is that in no way does that volume come close to making any sense. I think we are missing a lot of detail on this one.
