Money Down the Drain
Neither of the sets of Giants tickets I put up on StubHub sold, even when I priced them at less than half face value. That's $66 each that Cheryl and I wasted on that season ticket plan. In the end, we'll end up with exactly one pair of tickets we could use. If we wanted to spend $99 each on a pair of Giants tickets, there are much better seats than LB 135 we could have had!

It shows you to what depths the Giants have sunk that there is a glut of tickets on the market. StubHub shows a lot of tickets, many of which appear to be selling below face value. If you do want to attend a game, regardless of the poor state of the team, now would be a good time to buy.

That's sad, that you got tickets you couldn't use. I've stuck with using the Giants' online exchange system. It has worked well for me.

Do you mean what they called the Double Play Ticket Window last year? That's what I was trying to do, but when I went to the Giants web site, they sent me on to StubHub. I assumed that they've partnered with StubHub and shut down their internal market.

I was thinking of Double Play, didn't know it went bye-bye, but I see they still have an internal place to sell 5 or more games' worth of season tickets:

Come to think of it, when I wanted a seat in the Barry Bonds bleachers for his last game, I went through Stub Hub.

there's an organisation up here that takes tickets people can't use (or get sold) and gives them to unfortunate children (usually who are quite sick) so that they can experience the events

Which is sad, because this year's team is one hell of a lot of fun to watch. I'd rather watch a runner stretch a double into a triple than the home run derbies of the past.
