Friend of mine who's a 10-year STH got us tickets, but then the ridiculousness of the price sunk in soon after and they went on StubHub.

Since you have posted yours on StubHub does it look like tickets are selling there?
Most of the prices seem outrageous at this time but maybe thats just the way it is

Just got my tickets delivered. They were purchased through the two Nats pre-sales. Four in each sale. Got four in 137 and four in 109. Very nice commemorative stock. All tickets are spoken for by my ticket partners.

You should have seen the '08 or '09 Caps opening day tickets (vs Blackhawks I think...anyways, the year after that SE division run after they were dead last in the NHL at Thanksgiving). Thick plastic, and huge. They were like sandwich board signs that people wear on Rockville pike bearing ads for 30% off washing machines

Sorry, it was my friend who posted them on StubHub. I'm not sure if tickets are moving on there, but they were listing for about 2x face value on the day of the STH presale.

No problem. Just curious. Will see what the weather is like and maybe snag one near gameday.

My $200 face value tix just sold for $460 on Stub Hub, so yes, 2x face value plus a little more is the going rate at this point.

Curious...what do you net out of that after the Stub Hub juice?

wj73 · « **Reply #59 on:** December 16, 2014, 11:26:49 am »

Oh, they take a bundle. By the time Stubhub took all their fees from me and from the buyer, I ended up with just about $360 per ticket.

I knew a Ho Lee Crap. I'm not sure that's how he spelled his last name.

Sro is tolerable for baseball if you are six feet tall. To make it work for hockey in a baseball stadium you should get there when the gates open and not drink any fluids 24 hours prior. How much they selling them for

$77. Just go with a buddy to keep your spot and it's not bad. I'm planning on hitting that Heineken loft area. Should be a decent view of the scoreboard and of the screen.

But yea, get there when gates open.

This question was posted on the Bumper Boards. Anyone know? I've never sat in that area.

I got extras in 229 Row D. The seats are 18 & 19. Are they aisle seats or are there more seats in that row?

I'm pretty sure there are at least 17 more seats in that row...

Sold my pair of tickets yesterday, will clear $100 profit after fees. Wow, never seen such high fees before.

I have to look. HP area 120 i think

Dave B · « **Reply #71 on:** December 22, 2014, 06:11:11 pm »

You should flip those on stubhub for some upper level tickets. Stubhubs price v quality relationship is out of whack

CALSGR8 · « **Reply #72 on:** December 22, 2014, 10:34:48 pm »

I had a ticket in the top of 408 but I sold it. My ticket in 120 are in row M and costed 189 each before fees.
