what is my best route to get playoff tix?

[kjyerm]

please help. time is short. i need to know how to get tickets for this weekend,as cheap as possible. im sure other skins fans would like to know too. thanks

ticketmaster still has club seats at face value. stub hub has uppers for around 160 each . it really depends on what you call cheap after last night

[Mark The Homer]

Cheapest would likely be an eBay auction, craigslist, or this forum.

Another thing to consider is the huge number of tickets available. Stubhub is showing over 8,000 tickets right now. Compare this with most regular season games on a Monday - it's normally at about 1,100. That includes last night's game. And I remember the Detroit game in '99 - tickets were really no problem, and not very expensive. Yes, it's a big game this Sunday, but there are just sooo many tickets to be sold in a short amount of time, that prices are going to become competitive. They have to be.

As far as timing, I'd wait at least another day or so. Waiting until the end of the week wouldn't necessarily be a bad idea, either.

Deal with scalpels and you're bound to be cut lol

[Mark The Homer]

Yeah there will likely be deals. But remember - you have the risk of counterfeit tix too.

Funny you say that Mark....last night I stood in line to buy some Club level tix at the box office and there was staff on hand urging people to buy their tix from the box office last night "as it is the only way to guarantee that they weren't buying counterfeits" and that " they were bound to pay a lot more if they didn't buy last night"

Get your parking pass from Click and Park. 57.50 for Green lot that I just got and I think that is a good deal as I see them going for more on resale sites.

[Robbnva]

the best bet is on here, but keep in mind nobody is going to sell them for face value, be prepared to pay 30 to 50% markup, if not more. My brother in law bought 2 lower level tickets for about 315 a peice, luckily he has that kind of cash so it's no biggie for him. Uppers are going to cost you about $175 to 200 most likely

[Mark The Homer]

The number of tickets available for purchase has actually been increasing since yesterday, and prices are coming down. The total tix available was 8100 this morning on SH and now it's 8700.

Patience, people. There is no rush. The greediest sellers are generally the ones with the best seats, and those are the ones who will be forced to drop their prices on tickets towards the end of the week.

I'm pretty surprised at how much lower tickets are for this Sunday's game as compared to last week's Dallas game. On eBay especially, you can get a pair of good lowers and a parking pass for $500 - $700. Not cheap by any means, but it looks okay considering the same packages ran over $800 - $1000 for the Dallas game.

I know the Cowboys game was one of the biggest regular season games in Skins history. But still, this is the first home playoff game in 13 years.

Is it because Seattle is a much less popular opponent than the Cowboys? Or maybe so many fans blew their wad buying tickets for the Dallas game? Weird.

I think it's the former. The build-up to that Dallas game was unlike anything I've ever seen. It was like a perfect storm -

our biggest rivals + must-win game to get into the playoffs for BOTH teams + last game of the regular season + xmas time (many bought tickets as gifts) = ridiculously inflated prices.

But, as someone who went to the game, it was worth every dime =)

ASCTICKET is being very aggressive in keeping their listings below market. And they'll keep dropping prices as the weekend approaches.

Example: Two tix in 303 row 19 for $509. No fees, free shipping.

Don't go to their site. Monitor their eBay listings.
