It has nothing to with money. It has to do with 4 kids in multiple spring sports so I chose not to buy season tickets I couldn't use during the Childress years. Plus I could get tickets easily.

We only have 1 kid at home now, so my schedule is much more open in the spring. That is why I asked how many kids you have.

And I have GA/LAWN tickets for every conference series and opening day, but I'd be willing to give more $$$ the TMF if there were more seats available.

It is unfortunate that you are now at the point in your life where season tickets make sense to allow you to attend the majority of games right when we have a team with as high of expectations and excitement as ever leading to it being virtually impossible for you to get season tickets. In hindsight, if you could afford it, you should have gotten tickets when they were available in the Childress years to lock in tickets (and steadily improve your seats) with an eye on this point in your life.

I am pretty convinced that's what a ton of people do now if they are lucky enough to get tickets to baseball, and certainly there are a lot of people that do that in football. Go to a few games, maybe even the majority, but kind of have no choice but to sell or give away the rest. Because of the dynamics discussed in this thread, selling tickets to willing buyers happens to have the opportunity to be extremely profitable this year. There's a policy against it, yet Seat Geek is an official ticket partner with direct connectivity to the 12th Man Website that allows you to list tickets. You can even list with dynamic pricing and specify that you want to sell them for as high of a price as possible. The messages are EXTREMELY conflicting.

I have two kids under 4 with hopefully more on the way and I do not live in College Station. I've been a big 3 season ticket holder since before they were born. I personally don't think it's fair that I should be in danger of losing my season tickets because you happen to be in a better position to go to more games. Short of my wife killing me for going to College Station for baseball and basketball games every weekend, I have no choice but to sell or give away my tickets or let them go unused to a lot of the games. There are 35 home games this year in baseball - I can't imagine more than a couple hundred season ticket holders actually make it to every single game.

I'm not sure what the right solution is, but scaring people off from selling extra tickets and shaming them on TexAgs for the price it's done at does not seem productive to me given the current predicament with secondary market listings. If I were to be a "good Ag" and list my LSU weekend tickets at or below face value they will get scooped up in 5 seconds and resold for 5-10x more. Same situation in football this year with Notre Dame and Texas tickets.

A few years back I listed my ticket to the tu game on a Tuesday for $20 so a good Ag could buy it and attend a game I could not make it to. It was promptly bought up and re-listed for $100. Never again! I'm not going to list my tickets at what I believe is a reasonable price so scalpers can swoop in and make a profit off of it.

Yep this happens constantly. Even on the ticket board when selling to people with Ag Tags. I'm not sure how to solve for this besides:

1) Not listing the tickets anywhere and letting them go unused
2) Listing them for $100 yourself

#2 technically isn't allowed per the resale policy, which leaves #1 which is a pretty bad outcome too - especially for the biggest games of the year.

You could also give them away, and I know a lot of people do this, but I don't really think it's fair to expect everyone to subsidize other's attendance at the biggest games of the year by giving away free tickets. Not to mention if you give them away on TexAgs to a stranger there's also a history of people reselling those as well.

is allowed, it's says you're not supposed to resale if your primary intent is to resale for profit. hell just list a midweek game for $5, you can say your intent is to sell unused seats.

That's where some clarity would be nice. There's obviously a difference in intent between listing 100% of tickets and listing 1/3 of tickets.

But if you list 1/3 of your baseball tickets this year and select the seat geek suggested pricing method, you are probably going to make more money than your season tickets cost if that 1/3 includes a few conference games. Does the policy get enforced against these people? I guess we will find out.

What if you nobly give away 50% of your tickets because you cannot use them all? Doesn't it still look like you potentially sold them for profit on the ticket exchange board and sent them to a bunch of different people while only using 50% for yourself? Or less if you still have to miss a few games that kept tickets for

This poster claims they went to 5/7 football games and now can't renew their football season tickets: https://texags.com/forums/11/topics/3527239

If they did that to that poster, then every person that sells one seat should lose their seats.

My guess is somebody with pull complained to TMF.

But if the TMF is in bed with seatgeek, then taking away somebody tickets is hypocrisy

the TMF needs to be careful here

an unused ticket or unused seat = zero concessions $ from that seat

a lot of folks spend more money on food & beverage at a given game...than the cost of their ticket

Force-fitting a limited renovation/expansion on an undersized stadium footprint will be viewed as a colossal mistake within 10 years. JMO

For what it's worth, the tickets I have on SeatGeek have dropped in price multiple times today. Keep looking or waiting for it to drop to what you're comfortable with and jump in. Also looks like more inventory getting added, so people deciding they aren't going.

You should have no issue getting tickets now. Hope you still plan to support the team.
