    Selling for $1400 on Stubhub means you get $1190. Stubhub takes 15% off the top as a fee.

    I lied to my boss, risking my job, and flew to Cleveland for the first round of the playoffs last year. I think that answers your question.

    Jesus Christ, how tough is this? Go to the game, and rob a scalper outside after he makes a sale. You can even have your dad watch out for cops. Bonding, $1400+, and watching your team all rolled up into one evening. Bring some batteries and tell the grandkids someday.

    On second thought A.J. go to the game, maybe Mamula will be there.

    this reminds me of a song from The Clash, something about staying or going.

    My mom leaned on me really hard to sell my game 4 ticket. "You could make SO MUCH MONEY on it, Clare." I pretty much told her to go to hell.


    Go, AJ.

    It all comes down to how badly do you really need the money?

    If you do sell, you can always say you were there for 2/3s of it.

    Speaking of ticket stubs, my sister recently found, in an old scrapbook of hers, and gave me her ticket stub from Game 3 of the 1969 NLCS between the Mets and the Braves. The stub is in great shape except for some discoloration form the scotch tape that held it in place. She sat in the Mezzanine Boxes at Shea and the price was $7.

    You have to go. Your soul won't ever forgive you.


    Or, get 289 some high-quality perforated cardstock, and put him to work.

    Why not trade them for tickets to see Blue Öyster Cult in Jim Thorpe, PA on Halloween night? What an experience!

    It all depends on if they will still cut off beer sales after the 7th inning.

    As one who won a pair of Super Bowl tickets two years ago and sold them on Stubhub for a tidy profit of $5600, I say sell them. I think of that game everytime I look at my LCD HDTV, DVR and other items in my house.

    @UkraineNotWeak aka Praying for a Bullpen: aye, but were either of the Super Bowl participants your team? I can't see you selling WS tickets if there was a chance the Mets would clinch that night.

    @Jerkwheat:


    True. If the Jets had been involved, I might not have sold them. I always laugh thinking of the poor soul who laid out over $6000 for the pair and sat out in the rain for 4-5 hours. I at least hope they were a Colts fan.
