LittleHurt05 Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 QUOTE (ptatc @ Jan 27, 2016 -> 04:18 PM) It may get more non season ticket holders to the preseason games. I think that is the goal. I just give mine away anyway. On StubHub they always went for half of face value, so I don't know if that changes much. I guess I can now charge my friends $8 more if I take them to a regular season game, so that's a plus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Miller and Jihad Ward from Illinois are two of the guys who have made themselves the most money so far this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just mean the casual fan who may not have access to tickets. It will be a cheap way to go. The preseason is the only time my wife will go to a game because its still warm. I give the other away as well. the down side is that if they are bad, it may make it tougher to find takers for the high priced "premium" games.
