We can expect the tickets after Easter apparently.
Why am I not surprised.
Also, this is not to minimize re-selling. It's to 1) ELIMINATE any profit SSH will try to obtain to help cover their ticket costs and 2) ensure MLSE controls prices.
These guys are morons, the SSH that do renew are the ones who do sell their decent chunk of tickets. It's difficult to justify going to 30 some odd games.
The cycle goes:
SSH buys SS ---> Sells a chunk ---> Breaks-even/profit (maybe) ---> Renew seats
Budgeted Fan ---> Can't spend money for seasons but wants greats seats ---> buys from SSH (whos prices are better than ticketmaster) ---> Enjoys game ---> repeats.
If the cycle isn't broken, don't fix it
I sell/give a good chunk of my seats because:
A) I'm taking night courses (can't make games)
B) I travel for work
C) I have clients that I give tickets to and employees that I have to give/sell to at a discounted price
This has allowed me to renew for the following season. This just may be my last.
If you are a business or entrepreneur, you are giving out tickets left and right to employees, clients or potential leads
