Sep 11, 2007 -- Ticket reselling websites on the rise

Season ticket holders can now dump tickets they're not going to use thanks to StubHub.com, craiglist.org and others websites. More and more sports teams are also starting to set up their own online resale programs. They want people to be comfortable with buying season tickets even though they may not be able to attend every game. So with the team's blessing, you can now sell or buy unused tickets and just pay a small service fee. This is definitely different than it was back in the day for Clark. Whenever he used to want cheap tickets, Clark would go to a venue's season ticket holder parking lot and talk to people on the way in. The season ticket holders were usually corporate types who wanted to sell him their extra tickets for face value. But Clark would frequently start out by offering $5 on a $50 ticket and let them haggle him up to $10! Nowadays, Clark uses craigslist to get cheap tickets, but he runs the risk of buying a counterfeit online. Thankfully, when you buy through a team-sanctioned resale site you know you're getting a real ticket. Sometimes Clark misses the days of cheap tickets outside the venue!
