KC doesn't get many marquis big events so I imagine quite a few people will buy at the current prices. DFW gets events that sell out and have huge mark ups like this all the time. The mark ups always fall and are lowest right before the event. |

Really? You think hordes of Giants fans are going to buy playoff tickets in KC. I doubt it.

I camped out for Word Series tickets. Bought my 6, the husband bought his 6, and we traded 6 tickets to game 6 for 6 tickets to game 7. There were people wrangling homeless people. Thuggy (as in big bruising bouncer looking guys of every race possible) guys "in charge" of 5-10 homeless people. They'd wait in line to buy their allotment of tickets, and then hand them over to the thug for a 40 of Old E.
Those same thugs were getting rid of the tickets for less than face value for a Game 7 World Series. Which is really funny and sad all at the same time. I guess I'd suggest a 2nd mortgage on the house to buy as many as you can as quickly as you can because someone else will.

3K tickets available on stub hub. Prices will stabilize, but there will be some action at that price for those who can afford it.

This is what I'm doing, too. I bought game 1 tickets probably way too early about 10 days ago at about $675. After I saw what happened with the ALCS, I started to look into it. My tickets in comparable sections went up to almost $1,000, but tickets as a whole were not selling quickly at all. The day before we won the ALCS there were about 4,000 for game 2, and the day after the number of tickets actually increased.
A few hundred tickets sold right after the Giants won, but they were almost all in the expensive sections for only about an hour (so probably rich Giant fans making plans), and after that 1 or 2 hour flurry, ticket buying stopped again. This morning there are still about the same number of tickets available in the cheap seats as late last night. So, last night I sold off my game one tickets for a healthy profit (I priced them to sell, made sure they were the cheapest in the section), and I'm planning to buy back into game 2 after the inevitable crash. People are holding on at a level thats just too high, and they'll get nervous Sunday night or Monday morning.

Stubhub. You do have to pay a 15% seller's fee

Makes sense to me. They get to watch a World Series game and more importantly, try to catch a glimpse of Alex Smith.

You kidding!? Average rent in SF is something like 2400 a month. Most of my friends that live there are broke as hell making 6 figures.

If people in SF have more disposable income, then why are WS tickets cheaper in San Francisco than they are in Kansas City?
