fun example! for this saturday Quakes vs Sounders, there are 3000 tickets on SeatGeek Archived Message Posted by assassin on March 27, 2025, 14:03:20, in reply to "Oh jeez...*" our biggest broker partner, who own almost 80% of all inventory we allot out for resale (you need some out in different marketplaces, but don't be stupid about it) have 204 tickets of those 3000. Our official site, which includes the ability for all STH to directly resell, has a TOTAL of 524 tickets available. So......lol. Previous Message Previous Message there's also the chance a lot of those listings aren't even real. Previous Message I like the idea of scarcity creating demand... maybe seeing overpriced listings online will compel some to buy at UI prices. But I also don't like our base getting kicked to the curb. There should be a good way to do this without pissing people off.
