Scalping tickets

[SledNeck]

How early do I need to get to the field to sell some extra tickets? Which gate is the best. I have a couple dugout box seats (couple rows back behind dugout) that I wanna get rid of (sat game). dont really care how much I get for them.

+ 77

But then you'd have the pleasure of sitting by me, and you can't put a price on that

I went to yesterday's game and we picked up some tickets from scalpers around 45 minutes before the game. I'd say if you were there an hour, maybe hour & 15 minutes before the game you should be fine.

Hope you get close to what you paid for em!

you could always hit up one of the scalpers that wear signs that they want to buy tickets

There's plenty of them around. They usually pay half face value.

If you choose to sell them to any other fans, just be sure to stay away from the stadium. I believe there are laws on how close you can be.

UGGGH! If I didn't have a tournament Saturday I would have givin you face value just for the pleasure of seeing a game with ya....

I like the hour or so before game time and I'd start near the main ticket office as there will be a lot of people checking the ticket office for available returned tickets that pop up. Like Don said it is illegal scalping on Target Field property but I've never seen and individual seller hassled. If you're not comfortable doing it there just head across the street and hold those baby's up and you'll get some bites. I would think being a Saturday game you should be able to find someone to your liking to sell to versus being low-balled by an actual scalper looking to make some money off of you. Plus you don't know who they are going to sell them to it's always better to see who's going to sit next to you.

It's possible you may have to take a bit of a hit but with the quality of tickets you should get around face value and of course the longer you wait the price can/will go down.

Good Luck and GO Twins!

that guy craig has a list I would be on there in the mnpls section advertising and just say you will meet the buyer at the gate

good luck on your sale, there were plenty of scalpers last weekend when we went to the games and we arrived about an hour early.

The closer to gametime, the lower the price you'll get. Have you tried stubhub? They buy

[SledNeck]

Won't have them in poss until tomorrow. Maybe I can cover my food bill!
