Struggling to sell or just not worth it? If some of my February-April games sell for reasonable prices but above STH rate I actually may not lose too bad. The schedule has some good matchups on paper. We shall see. I do feel like they been offering a few things they havent in the past like courtside for a few games and the offerings in the loyalty package were better albeit had to react fast. In hindsight wouldve been cool to pick suite seats for either a Bucks or MU game even if the options were non marquee games. I did get the 15% season discount at pro shop on Saturday by asking too. May have been lucky. Prices are insane though. I wanted a Ray Allen purple/green tank top and it was $90 lol.
I think they go hand in hand. Paid $90/ticket for my 2 last Saturday against the Hawks. Got offered to go with a friend in the suite. It a Saturday against a Playoff team we played in the ECF 2 years ago, Bucks are hot, and Giannis was playing. If I would've sold them on TM I wouldve got $50/ticket, so I gave them to my dad for free. On the opposite side, if I sell one game at a profit I will then have to pay taxes on it and can't really net it against the money I lost.
My seats are ok. I can regularly find better seats cheaper last minute on TM or somewhere else. Last night I got 2 ticket Row 2 upper deck for $25 total. I pay $3,600 for one seat lower behind the basket. My benefits were guaranteed giveaways, the STH event, and and fiserv framed photo I'm probably not going to hang up.....IDK maybe the value is $100 if I was asked how much cash I would pay for it? Just doesn't seem worth it on good days, and you are a Giannis injury away from those tickets becoming electronic paper weights.
All that is before getting into going to 40 games (versus say 10) because you have tickets where it may be more enjoyable at home with a six pack of beer that costs $12 and a blanket instead of a $13 michelob light and driving in the snow to a game.
All good points. I tend to forget about the tax thing. I wonder how much that will affect me and it would be nice to deduct my losses (maybe I can?). If my tickets struggle to sell for face in February-April, I may give a hard consideration to give them up too. I have a pair in row 2 upper level vs Dallas on a Sunday that Im struggling to move. Giannis vs Luka, weekend albeit a night game, and struggling to sell at my cost. I feel like I have to sell the marquee games to cover some of the Pistons and Kings ones. I hate taking a 33% hit on the exchange all the time too. I enjoy being a holder so I’d like to hang on but its no longer the no brainer it was a few years back.
