Royals DON'T buy WS tickets at current prices - Page 14

Strongside · 10-17-2014, 08:39 AM

I have a few friends that deal in the secondary market professionally here in KC. (Not scalpers, technically. These guys have offices and pay taxes.) I've been told by, literally, all of them not to buy until at least Monday. All three that I've called about tickets have told me they have them, but that no one is buying at current prices...even on StubHub. They say that by game day they expect prices to drop dramatically. One even saying he expects SRO to fall to around $250 and then for prices to increase incrementally from there. He basically said people are throwing shit against the wall to see what sticks at this point, and that nothing is sticking.

Again, I went to HS with 2 of these guys, so them not trying to stiff me isn't a surprise...even though it's basically what they do for a secondary income.

If you have the scratch to buy now, go ahead I guess. But if you're on a budget, I wouldn't rule out going to a game just yet.

I'm going to wait until next year

Prices on SRO and Hyvee level actually went up throughout the day today. I've been watching them all day.

For those that had Standing Room Only in the ALCS, are you allowed to pretty much roam anywhere you want and stand anywhere you want on the concourse or do they have some way of forcing you to stay in that area noted in right field above the fountains?

The reason they went up is because the cheaper ones sold out.

I'm getting conflicting answers on my question above. Has anybody actually had a SRO ticket during the playoffs this year? Were you allowed to stand anywhere you want on the concourse or did they have a way of forcing you to the outfield?

One person has 46 SRO tickets listed on Stubhub at the moment for $636 a pop. Ridiculous.
