I was approached with the idea of having a reporter come with me to the Seahawks vs Bears game this past Saturday for an article to be written in SPORTS NORTHWEST MAGAZINE. The idea was to have the reporter serve as an eye witness to how I operate and thus how the average fan can benefit from knowing the plays that are featured in my book "Sold Out SO WHAT!".
I spent the few days leading up to the game searching the internet for below face value deals, and was happy with some of the deals I was finding. I started out by going to Ticketmaster and getting the "face value" of different sections including the "convenience" charges. Then I went to my favorite on line communities to see what I could find at a better deal. I found numbers varying wildly from double face value to up to 75% below face value.
I approached the editor of the magazine with the findings and he told me that it would be a better story all the way around if I could wait until the day of the game and figure it out then, but he would keep my numbers that I gave him for the record.
Day of the game I was hanging at the Fox Sports Grill talking with some people I just met. During the conversation, it came up that the girl had four extra tickets in the Club Level that were just going to go to waste. I asked her how much she would want for them and she made my day by offering them to me for FREE!
The game was a blast. The Seahawks beat the Bears in overtime, 29-26. The stadium really is the loudest place I've ever been in. I can only imagine how loud it must be during a playoff game.
