I would be surprised to see Crosby play in Winnipeg next week.

Someone explain to me how one single ticket in the 200s has a cost of $214. I just found it on Ticketmaster.ca . I am willing to accept a proper explanation. But is Ticketmaster selling a scalped ticket?

But is Ticketmaster selling a scalped ticket? And our first complaint about ticket cost! JK, but it does make the $114 that P2 STH's paid look like the bargain of the century. But it seems like a huge markup in that the 'face value' printed on a P2 ST is $176.70. $214/$176.70 => 21.1% markup? Ouch. Who are the scalpers now? And if you look at how TicketExchange is allegedly going to work, they would reimburse the STH the $114 he paid and then sell the ticket for, apparently, $214, an 87% markup. Can someone explain to me how that process isn't scalping but the STH who legitimately has to miss a game here and there is a scalping criminal if he sells his tickets for the exact same price? Maybe all STH's should change their names to Mr. Ticket Master. It seems that when Ticket Master sells ducats above the face value, they can call it a service charge and be above the law. m. |

Are you sure that the ST holder only gets back $114 and not a cut of the markup shared with TNSE? Does anyone know how the TicketExchange will work from a ST holder's perspective?
Is the ST holder "scalping" if they sell their individual tickets for the marked up face value on the ticket?

Probably why they have had such a hard time getting seat or ticket exchange or what ever it will be called up yet. Trying to get around the legal issue of selling a ticket for a higher price than it was originally paid for. |

Just keep in mind that you're not quite comparing apples to apples. The ticket in question is actually a P1. This is due to it being in the Bud Lounge area. |

I went to ticketmaster.ca and found Section 205, row 7, seat 21 ( a P2 seat) for $190.95. $190.95/176.70 = 8% markup $190.95/114.00 = 67.5% markup Less stunning but stunning nonetheless. m. |

Is the ST holder "scalping" if they sell their individual tickets for the marked up face value on the ticket? From everything that I've heard (and it's only been from people who have asked their STH reps at TN) they will indeed be reimbursed the price they paid for the ticket. Selling the ticket for the value printed on the face of the ticket is a little more complex. Selling your ticket for the value printed on the face of the ticket would be, under the strict letter of Manitoba law, scalping. The Manitoba law states: "No person shall sell, barter or exchange for anything any ticket of admission to a place of amusement for a price or consideration greater than that paid or given therefor to the owner of the place of amusement to which it is an admission. "This makes specific reference to the 'price or consideration paid or given therefor to the owner of the place of amusement'. I gave $114 per ducat to TN for my P2's that's my ceiling price. One could argue about pro-rating the deposit, but that's splitting hairs. Would be interesting to see how a judge ruled on it though. As far as your STH agreement goes, it simply states that you can't sell for greater than 'face value' or you lose your season tickets. They would have a very tough time enforcing that (imho) if you sold your ticket for the value printed on the face of said ticket. I've heard that when you print off your ticket the printout shows the price you paid rather than the walk-up price. Can anyone confirm? m. |

And you get charged $2.50 per printed ticket as well which is also super. Has anyone tried the email ticket option? I am curious if the $2.50 charge also applies if you want to email the ticket to someone. If you want to give the ticket away in this manner you would have to pay to do so. Sounds dumb. |
