Tips for getting the best ticket prices
- Wait until 2-3 days before the event for non-marquee games. Resale prices for mid-week home games drop sharply as sellers race to offload tickets.
- Check both upper and lower bowl side-by-side. The “best deal” isn’t always the cheapest section— sometimes mid-tier upper bowl beats nosebleeds by $2-3.
- Avoid premium markups on “fan zone” sections. Adjacent regular seats are often half the price for nearly identical sightlines.
- Filter by “instant download” or “mobile transfer.” Avoids the will-call line for big events.
- Compare against face value if you can find it. If resale is below face, you’re getting a real deal. If well above, weigh your options.
