Honest question... who here has wanted to go to a baseball game, but has not been able to because they could not get a ticket?
I feel like this is a very minor issue to a non-issue.
If you look at the facebook groups for TCU tickets sales/exchanges - there are a dozen asks for tickets in the last couple of series that were never answered. I offered mine up for the one game no one in my family could attend and had 10 requests for them in as many minutes.
Obviously no idea if those other people found seats another way - but most asks for seats have no responses or offers really.
I have tried to find additional seats beyond my seats for 3 different games this year by culling my network and been only successful for one. was shocked by how many of my friends didn't even get their season tickets this year because they didn't want to deal with the situation I guess.
I don't think it is a lack of unused tickets -but it is more that people that aren't using them are not actively trying to give them to others (common problem in our top PP accounts) and the school doesn't provide any means beyond stubhub to market a need or availability really. And stubhub sucks on both ends so the only people that seem to use it are resellers that have the entire season posted already for insane prices.
But I would guess if we had a really easy way for a person to call and see if anyone of the hundreds of ticket holders that are not going tonight would be willing to sell their seats - you would see a pretty high demand for tickets by people that don't even know where to start looking at this point.
And the "give your reserved seats to the ticket office for exchange" thing is a total failure. My son's seats this season are GA and he has asked 45-60 minutes before each game he attend (about 75% so far) and has yet to be told anyone turned in reserved seats for exchange....but yet the vast majority of reserved seats that are filled are filled with students, not the season ticket holder.
