A. Everything has a price. I wouldn't shop the tickets but if someone offered me the right amount at the right time, I would probably take it.

B. N/A

C. I wouldn't, I'd just watch the game on TV.

I don't under stand all the hype on the home opener. It's not like its game 7 of the cup final. That would be a game that would take
for me to sell those tickets.

I've got a question on this subject. A buddy of mine brought up a good point.

1. If someone offers you, say $1000 for a ticket and you take it, is that scalping?

Sorry bud, these tickets do not have a price. No amount of money would make me sell my tickets.

The only way would be if got $10 grand for them and I was able to by other pair for less then that and make some money! But that would not happen

Yeah, honestly this is something money can never buy again... there is only one inaugural game.

Okay, if someone offered me $1 Million for my ticket I'd have to say yes, but honestly I'd still have twinges of regret! $1000? No chance. $5000? Other than your strategy of selling and buying another one, no chance yet again. This is once in a lifetime!

So I don't know what it would take to sell... but it would have to be a ridiculous amount of money that I would never realistically get.

I've got my home opener tickets.....for Phoenix ...

I could be see myself paying $1000 for 2 tickets....

[bigwillyca]

Oh and if I had tickets... i wouldn't sell them. And If I died, I wouldn't give them away either. I'd need a seat for my spirit to go sit. One way or another I'd be there.

Section 209, I would hypothetically sell for $3500 per seat and enjoy having the rest of the season paid off. I'm glad I have my home openers but at the same time I would still get to see a lot more great hockey for years to come.

I believe that if you accept more than face value it would be considered scalping. But if you sell a hockey card (or something else) for a thousand bucks and throw in a couple of tickets for free it's a different story.

I'm not selling them, but if I was offered $1000 and took it would it be scalping?

I understand that you could sell a paper clip for a grand and throw the tickets in for free (it's just a circumvention of the law which could still be punishable) but if the tickets are unsolicited is it still scalping?

I have 318 row 4 (P6). I'm one of those that says I wouldn't sell for anything (which of course, we all would for some price). Like alot of people I've invested a lot of Hope and Ruin (The Trews) over the past 15 years. This game means so much. It would take at least $2500 to give up my ticket.
On the flipside, for that same ticket, I'd be willing to pay $300.
I know that doesn't make much sense.

The entire idea of the thread was to ignore the fact their were laws preventing this sort of thing. It was just to have some fun and see just what it would take to lose your tickets or gain some tickets.

Like for myself, I don't think I could sell them. I have been waiting for this moment for a very long time. I am still bouncing off the walls about the return and the fact that I actually got season tickets.

With that said though, I often wonder if someone held 10K in cash in front of me would I sell my tickets. Would it be worth both my tickets or just 1? I told my wife about this thread idea and said said if we got 10K I would be selling no questions asked.

So we had a chat, she and I wondered what it would take for others to sell. Well, here we are. Supposed to be ignoring the fact scalping is wrong and illegal. Just for fun.

[TheDeuce]

Just to keep it in perspective, compare these tickets to something that you truly would never sell for any price. Your kids and family? Not for a trillion dollars. Not for all the money on earth.

In terms of value, the tickets to the first Jets game don't hold a candle to that which is literally priceless to me - and that's a pretty short list. My children and my family, and the health and happiness thereof. That's pretty much the only thing I would never sell at any price.

Beyond that, you throw enough compensation at me and it's yard sale time.

Including my October 9th game tickets for $20,000.

$10 000 I would stop and think about it, but I really don't think I'd sell my ticket.

[Guardian]

I would pay up tp $2000 for a pair of lower bowl seats to the home opener because of the historic significance.

[jetsorbust]

Alright, I've already commented a bunch of times, but in spirit of the thread I'm going to try to actually put numbers down:

I would pay up to $1500 per ticket to be at the game.

I would not sell my tickets for less than $20 000 per ticket.

It's still something that's 1 in a life time... get a part time job for a couple years to make up the difference but I want to be at that game!

[barks1737]

A. I could never sell something that's priceless.

B. If I didn't have tickets.... I"d drop 2k on the game. I've been to NFL games where I've dropped $800 for a pair. This home opener to me is epic. We will never see another game like this in our lives. I"d even consider going up to 3k if I had to. I also don't have a lot of money, but I am a huge sports fan. The wife may not like it but I'd do what ever I had to, to get to the home opener.

This, much like a threesome may only come along once in a lifetime! LOL

[trigger204]

I would probably sell my seat for 3500$ each ... I just feel I would be stupid not to I guess. It would be a tough choice though.

[jval07]

How about sell my ticket for $3000, then give some dude at the back entrance $200 to let me in the building. I'll watch the game from the seat exits and continue to rotate throughout the game.

[fitzy0019]

oh man, this is going to be a legend......dairy....LEGENDARY game!(sorry for the HIMYM quote for the none fans) but this WILL be a history maker! i wouldnt pay thousands to enter, just not that fortunate i do however have a few reg season games to attend, as well as a certain Minnesota Wild game in feb to attend!
