Flex packs altered! New system just might suck!

[Brownie19]

Every major sports team usually does dynamic pricing, so not sure why this is an issue. I have Raptors season tickets, and games against the Cavs or Warriors for my upper bowl seats are close to $150-$170 each face value, where some weeknight or Sunday night games against the 76ers etc. are only $50-60 each. The average cost of every game for me though works out to be $56.667 per seat per game, so as long as I sell tickets for more than that price, I'm coming out ahead.

 

As for baseball, there are so many games that I can't justify getting season tickets for an entire year, unless you go in with like 3 or 4 people. Unless you want to be a scalper from April-October, season tickets just for one person is a lot of games to try and sell. And unless you sell the premium games like the Home Opener, Canada Day game, weekend games on Saturday/Sunday vs. good teams, then there is a small chance you make money or break even. And from my friends with season tickets, I offered to buy like 5-10 games this year from them, though they only offered me crummy weeknight games against the Rays, Royals, Twins in April, May & June ,etc. when I could buy those games from the secondary market likely cheaper then face value, so whats the point?

 

Instead of acknowledging how awesome the flex packs were for many years - he's now pissed that they are in-line with what most of the large market teams have been doing for years. He would like his cake and to be able to eat it too. He's so upset that's he's made an account just to bitch about it to random people on the internet.

I would likely take you up on all bobblehead games as my wife and I collect them and have them all from the past 4 seasons. Weekday games, I typically pick up cheap because scalpers have thousands online and they can't move them. I bought flex packs so I had the ability to invite ppl, not a money maker though i sell extras if no one is interested.

 

I think they've overestimated the market and will lose attendance when the team declines and Leafs regain prominence.....just my opinion.

Offering you the actual bobbleheads, not ticket to those games. That is to say they'd come in a box in two shipments (August and October/November). That means no waiting in line at those games. PM me and let's connect offline.

This was my first year for season tickets for Jays and I actually did quite well. You do take a loss on the non summer weeknight games but the weekend games seem to more than make up for it.

I think that this was as good a year as it gets to have season tickets, but that doesn't mean it will always be that way. They've made season tickets more restrictive too for next year. If you miss a game or the ticket is otherwise unused you can't trade in next year. They've tiered off games and restricted trade ins based on tier. Whereas in 2015 midweek uppers often sold for multiples of face, this year midweek games in September were cheap on stubhub. The fan base has proven they will come and watch success, but they won't pay to watch the team struggle. If the team doesn't have a strong year the bandwagon will roll away and so too will the profits of people with season tickets that are reselling.
