1 Extra SRO ticket for Broncos/Eagles

You all win. No Eagles fan from BGN gets this ticket unless they buy it from a scalper the day of the game!

Sorry for trying to help someone out. It’s not like I can’t find someone somewhere to pay me for my extra, just thought an Eagles fan might want it. Not sure why everyone has such pessimistic views of my offer. I guess the internet has left you all jaded.

I would’ve probably just accepted an offer very similar to those criagslist posts if someone felt like sending out an email, especially if they were local. Just because I am listing the going rate doesn’t mean you had to offer that much. All I am trying to do is get fair market value for my product and more importantly, not take a loss on what was a X-mas gift for a friend.

FYI, all of you have forgotten an important part of negotiating- setting the price higher than you actually would like to receive in hopes that when you negotiate with a buyer and eventually meet half way, you are both happy with the final price. That’s how negotiating works. This is not a store where the price is set. We can talk about a fee.

But thank god BGN has all of you to protect people from lowly, scumy scammers like me /saracasm.

Never meant for this to ignite such a response from BGN for selling 1 ticket at slightly above what I paid for it.

I bought 4 tickets for me and my dad and brothers to go to the game as an X-mas gift a few weeks ago at $70 per ticket plus shipping and fees. Now my brother can’t go, so I was looking to get rid of 1 SRO ticket without taking a hit on what I purchased.

Not sure how selling an actual physical ticket works on Stubhub or those types of sites, but there’s only 9 days left until the event (10 at the time of my post). I didn’t want the hassle of trying to get the tickets to Stubhub or pay money to ship them (if I didn’t have to).

I never said it would take $140 to get the ticket. I just wanted to alert the public as to the market value of the ticket they were making an offer on. I guess I never should have said $75 won’t cut it, but by naming any sort of price, I was trying to avoid tons of emails offering $55 and $60 for it when:
A) I paid more than that for the ticket myself
B) The cheapest you can find it on “reputable, safe” sites (not craigslist, though that’s an option) is $140
C) I don’t have to sell the ticket to anyone. I can always get money from a scalper on gameday

Now if my reasoning doesn’t make sense to you, then I’m sorry. But I am not trying to make money in an evil sense of the word. I was looking for what I paid plus, say $20 for beers at the game.

Expecting $95 for a ticket selling for $140 everywhere else on the internet (minus that one guy on craigslist) hardly makes me a scumbag, asshole, dick or any other names you’ve all called me. If I were just some scumbag trying to make a buck, I wouldn’t be defending myself. I’d just say “F-it” and hope someone emails me anyway, b/c what do I care if a bunch of posters on an internet forum think I’m a dick? But I do post here. I am not a dick (well, I try not to be). /defense

at least you all gave my thread a lot more comments/views!

thanks for that!
