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? 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. Ticektmaster isn't getting the face value fo the ticketprice TNSE is. It's not scalping because TNSE is the one selling the ticket to their event. They can sell it for whatever amount they want. One way to think of it is as returning the ticket to TNSE for the full amount you paid then them reselling it or whatever price they choose since its their event. As for ticketmaster fees. they are what they are. They hold a virtual monopoly on ticketsales. But the price someone else pays over and above the amount a ticket seller gets on seat exchange isn't all going to Ticketmaster. It's going to TNSE with the fees going to ticketmaster.

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. That's right. 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. Yup, it also charges you $2.50. The worst part of it is, I have a feeling ticketmaster is getting this whole $2.50. Jets gear is uber expensive, but hey the money goes to the team so I live with it. But to give ticketmaster $2.50 to print a fricking PDF? Screw them! (though I have now printed 3 tickets)

Ya I won't be using ticket exchange. Has anyone actually sold a ticket yet using ticketexchange? I'd like to know once and for all instead of speculating. I got the impression you would get to sell it for the walk-up price (printed onto your physical ticket) and that the buyer would pay a bit more, as a fee. But I'd be curious to know once and for all. Not that it matters to me, I want to go to every game I can, and any ones I have to miss are spoken for 100 times over by friends/family... frankly I don't know who in their right mind would use ticket exchange this year since everyone must know 50 people who want tickets.

Exact wording from the printed paper that arrived in the fabulous blue box containing the tickets.
What Fees are associated with Selling Tickets?
If your ticket sell, you will receive as your proceeds an amount that equals your purchase price of your individual tickets.
I don't think many tickets will ever be for sale on this site unless someone has a last minute emergency.
