When is the best time to buy sports tickets? Scalpers?

**biggie12** · 03-04-20, 11:09 AM

scalpers are fine but you have to be vigilant on who u choose and never give them the first price they are asking. That price is usually marked up 75-100% of what they are trying to get. If you can wait 5 minutes into game they will sell lower when they know tix will be worthless.

Your best option is to find someone on classified site kijiji big in canada. If i remember correctly Letgo and craigslist are the popular US sites.

It’s a common cold. No cough, no coronavirus, just stuffy nose and sore throat.

With the coronavirus on the front page of every news site, I’d imagine the crowd tonight is not the fearful type of sickness.

Not sure yet, what would you recommend for best value? Not nosebleeds or 100. Will say my company gave me tickets in section 100 earlier this season. CEO gives them out anytime he can’t go, awesome perk.

Looks like they're starting at $45 apiece on Stubhub depending on where you sit.

Enjoy the game if you go man, go Flyers!

Was going to take capitals, but that’s heavy juice and with my luck, thinking of just taking flyers. They’ve done well recently against the caps.

Yeah Philly +130....some value there

I do think Washington will win but that's not a bad price.

Just go off best value u can get most singles cheaper as they sre harder to sell

**jjgold** · 03-04-20, 01:00 PM

Much cheaper to stay home or after the first quarter

**pologq** · 03-04-20, 02:31 PM

i use stub hub myself

as you wait closer the prices do come down significantly on their as people panic to sell the seats for any price

**eaglesfan371** · 03-04-20, 04:25 PM

Just checked stubhub - sadly prices have now almost doubled for most tickets.

Right before game time is worst time to buy. Either buy in advance days, weeks or wait until like 15 mins after game starts when people are trying to dump tix just to get something for them. One caveat to that is if the game is a complete sellout sometimes you get screwed waiting tix run out. I have no experience in the DC area buying tix so idk if things are different there. Best of luck man on the tix and the bet.

Since both teams are doing well this season and both cities are close to one another, expecting this to be a heavily attended game. But who knows due to the coronavirus scare.

Great win by philly. Though loss of Van Riemsdyk will be huge

**Hman** · 03-06-20, 08:02 PM

I've scalped my share of tickets back in the day when i owned Orlando Magic tickets & Shaq & Penny were in town
