why are there no tickets available when I checked ticket-scheister yesterday at around 6 in the pm?
I'm so tired of inflated ticket prices- Colts announced playoff tickets would go on sale Monday morning at 10am, and yet on Sunday night stubhub had over 10000 tickets already on sale- how the hell does that happen with out essentially kicking back $$$ to get a huge allotment ahead of time in exchange the tickets go for well over "face value" and essentially boosting the actual ticket prices as the venues in question certainly get some additional $$$ for turning it over to the ticket brokers.
For example, before tickets went on sale to the General public for the Champions Classic up here in Chicago, brokers essentially had all but a few thousand of the available. Face value for the tickets started at $37 and the most expensive ticket was $145.
Brokers were selling the the cheapest $37 ticket for $250-400, lower level $145 were jacked up to $4000 to $10000, and the most expensive were 2 I saw 1st row floor (still only $145 face value) a pair, 2 tickets, for $39,995.
That's absurdity!
