Sucks after winning a chip a bunch of fair weather fans could afford tickets and sold out to rival teams, pathetic.
While I have no doubt that 49ers fans will make up the majority of resale tickets, I doubt it will be 53% of the entire crowd. The lower charter side maybe, but not the entire stadium.
This is happening to some extent for all teams located in major cities with high levels of transplants. What’s happening is season tickets are stupid expensive and the resale market is also stupid expensive (because everything is expensive) so people are realizing if they sell like half their tickets they can attend the other half for free.
There goes any home field advantage for Seattle. We get a 49ers home game. Any Seahawks fan selling to a 49ers fan should lose their season tickets.
Greed and hope. Simple as that. If we were coming off of a playoff run those numbers would be flipped.
Despicable traitorous scum.
I read that the Hawks office is watching and will cancel (not offer renewals) season ticket holders who sell too many of their tickets. Can’t come soon enough.
Because reselling tickets became good money and non fans/ticket resellers have bought up a shit load of season tickets as people dropped off when the team fell off over the last 4-5 years. Prices will likely drop as the season goes along but I don’t think it’ll ever be what it was without significant changes from the team/ticketmaster
Ban reselling tickets. There. Refunds only
If you are one of these STH who are selling your seats to unverified fans, shame on you.
I’m a ST holder and am attending the game, but I sympathize with season ticket holders who sell some of their marquee games to afford to keep their season tickets. Since 2021 my ticket prices have gone up 4%, 5.5%, 11.5%, 12.1% a year for an increase of 37% in 4 years.
Because they see seahawks games as an investment not as an experience for regular people
Remember to wear your rain boots for sloshing through the niners tears on the way home.
Pretty damn expensive
Season tickets dont mean the same as Season ticket holder. Many of the season tickets are owned by corporate resellers because the original owner sold their PSLs to a broker.
after 11 years to finally get my season tickets there is no way in hell I am not going.
How accurate has this been historically?
This posting is BS. I currently have my tickets for sale on Ticketmaster below face value and they aren’t selling.
That’s a dumb tool
Gonna suck even more to pay that airfare, hotel, entertainment and inflated ticket prices just to see the “bang bang gang” get fisted by the Hawks!
They need to remove dynamic pricing…. All season tickets should be around the same price or within a reasonable range. Instead tickets for the niners are much higher priced and reselling through ticketmaster will recoup more of your season ticket price than a game like the saints. So there is too much incentive for season ticket holders to sell.
I’m sorry but barring an emergency, if you don’t want to be there cheering them on week 1 against the Niners, tickets should be revoked.
As a Canadian on the seasons tickets list who won’t be able to make a lot of the games, this is crazy. I would go out of my way to only sell to Seahawks fans and not make any money off it.
So they sold 36,433 tickets to fans in California zipcodes? How else would they come up with what team the purchaser is rooting for?
Accuracy here is sus as fuck.
Gonna be a lot of sad Niners fans Sunday at lumen
Capitalism.
This is happening also because normal old school fans can’t afford $300+ tickets anymore. Remember when normal people could go to games on a regular budget. Now its around $600-800 for a family to go to a game. Not including parking or dinner or whatever. It sucks.
It’s a lie. Vivid seats has no information that would verify that. All they can verify is their own inventory
Look, my buddy married a Niners fan and she’s gonna be 1/4. I tried to break them up when I found out, but I guess he loves her or some bullshit IDK
I think a lot of season ticket holders are calling the front office bluff for reselling tickets, and the resellers might win. They’ll never release the official numbers, but anecdotally a record number of waitlist seats opened up this year. Depending on how this season goes we might see the end of the waitlist entirely.
Why not is the pertinent question. 96” hi def TVs, comfy recliners, no bad weather, no $12 beers, no bathroom lines, no $30 parking, and no traffic headaches all topped off by making a sweet profit on tix.
