Why
is it so hard to buy St. Louis Blues Tickets?
Any
time a pro hockey team gains popularity, you see a significant
increase in demand for tickets. The problem is that the supply
remains a constant. Therefore you have an increased number of people
all wanting the same number of available tickets. There are different
ways that people can buy St. Louis Blues
tickets. Buying from the box office will usually be your cheapest
alternative. However once their supply is gone, the tickets are
gone. With everyone trying to get tickets this way, sometimes it's
better to just spend the extra money and save time by going through
a ticket broker.
Wouldn't
it be better to buy Blues tickets from Ticket Master?
Yes,
Ticket Master would be better because they are usually cheaper.
But, a lot of the time, Ticket Master has long lines at their walk
up locations and their phones and internet server are too overloaded
to handle the demand of tickets. Also, if you do get through, you're
not always guaranteed good seats. That's why it is better to go
through a reputable ticket broker.
Isn't
it more expensive going through a ticket broker?
Yes,
if you want to buy the best seats there are. But, the average seats
aren't really expensive. But, by going through a ticket broker,
you save yourself a lot of the hassle of dealing with long lines.
With as busy as we all are today, it may actually be cheaper going
through a ticket broker when you factor in what your time is worth
and how much of it you will spend trying to get tickets from the
box office or Ticket Master.
Wouldn't
there be plenty of tickets to go around if ticket brokers didn't
have tickets?
This
is by far the biggest misconception about buying premium tickets
for any event. A broker is a broker, period. If they weren't there
buying and selling tickets we would have no place to go once tickets
are sold out. Think about the numbers, if there are over 50,000
season ticket holders, there are probably over 1,000 each week
that can't make the game. If they didn't have an easy out by selling
to a broker for a profit and just game them to their friends, that
is even fewer tickets in circulation and with the same demand,
guess what, prices go even higher. The more tickets bought and
sold the lower the prices from brokers and that is always best
for the fans, period.
