The Truth About Selling Season Seats The Nights You Can't Go

Once the team released the seats I posted the nights we are not going to the games on StubHub, Ticketmaster and eBay for sale. Hopefully we can hook some other fans up the nights we don't go and recoup some of the money we spent to be Season Ticket Holders in prime seating. **I only recommend double dipping like this is you are prepared to immediately  remove the seats from the whichever site the seats did not sell from at the time you get the email your seats have sold. If you sell the same seats twice you could be looking at getting kicked off one of the sites and having to pay for seats for the person you just cheated. Don't screw people over!!** Copy of the email from my first StubHub sale.

See The View From The Seats Before You Buy

One of the issues I ran into as a live sports enthusiast was how can I tell if I'm going to like the view from the seats I want to buy. There are a few really good resources. 1.   http://aviewfrommyseat.com/ This site has views from many different venues. I suggest you look  up the arena you are going to and look up a seat in the section and row close to the seat you want to buy for an event. Beware, some people take horrible pictures but you can get a good guess at the view your going to get buy viewing others pictures. Make sure you add your pictures so others can make decisions based on your pictures. 2. Use the teams official website 3D Seat Viewer The 3d seat viewer gives you a digital view of the sections and rows. It's been my experience that the 3D seat viewer the teams supply makes the seats seam a little closer than they are but it still is a good resource. I've used The CAVS 3D Seat Viewer  and The Hornets 3D Seat Viewer Here are a few exampl

Charlotte Hornets 2016/2017 Season Ticket Holder Guide

In my opinion the main thing a prospective Hornets season ticket holder has to understand is the real costs of being a season ticket holder. Ask yourself out of 43 home games (2 preseason & 41 regular season)  How many will you be going to?  The wife and I will be going to 8 games for sure and possibly one more. How much are you willing to spend for tickets? A Lot. After selling the nights I didn't go and getting back the money I paid upfront I spent $3730 to go to 8 games in a premium area and have season ticket holder benefits.  Will you be selling the games you don't go to? I'll be selling all but the two preseason games that I am giving away to two of my young co-workers. I'm hoping to get back enough for selling the games during the season to cut what I spend in half by the end of the season. UPDATE 12/22/2016 After selling 34 games I was not going to the average price per pair of tickets was $140.46. As a season ticket holder I paid

Here’s my background concerning being an NBA fan

I’m the type of guy that likes to know everything about what I'm spending my money on. Sadly there is not much info that a person like me can find online about the Hornets. I’m going to give a good account of my time as a Charlotte Hornets Season Ticket Holder. Here’s my background concerning being an NBA fan I grew up about an hour away from Cleveland Ohio and believe it or not, I never went to a Cavaliers game during my teen years. As a teen I was watching all of the new age greats like Jordan, Barkley, Robinson, Ewing, and so on. Back in the early 90’s everyone around my way loved the Hornets and if you didn’t love the Hornets at least you loved their colors and gear. Charlotte Hornets gear was cool even up in Ohio.  So yes I was a Hornets fan back in the day and yes it does make me feel damn good to be a season ticket holder now. I graduated high school back in 1995 and didn’t really watch or follow The NBA until the end of the 2009/2010 NBA season. After watching LeBr
