Major inventory dump relative to the low supply. Pays to wait?
Ticket prices for Brewers World Series Game 1 finally coming back down to reality.
After peaking above $3,000 and holding there for much of the week, the get-in price has sharply reversed, falling over 35% to $1,968.
Where does this one end up?
The all-time record for a baseball game is $1,809, set at Indians at Cubs Game 4 of the 2016 World Series (measured ~90 minutes before first pitch).
At this rate, it looks there is a chance that record could stand?

SeatGeek manipulated market update.

Manipulation and games are coming to a close. True market coming
Tickets just dropped at the box office in 6 different sections.
Supply manipulation. 28 hours until first pitch.
Market manipulation 101.
They are causing you to pay more on the secondary markets because they are slowly listing inventory to prop up prices.
Be mad at the @Brewers and/or the firm they hired to sell the bulk of theit inventory on the “secondary” market.
Well, I guess we got someone’s attention who has decided they were being WAY too obvious. There is now only 1 listing of 6 or more tickets. Many locations are still there, but supply has been reduced to 4 tickets. It’s possible some were purchased, but unlikely in all locations
AND …. AND.
The 8 packs are moving around the stadium. Artificial Scarcity.
Market Manipulation 101
This needs to stop. They need to show how many tickets are available for sale. They are propping up prices slow dripping the market.
#Brewers
Presale access to anything if one of the few perks left that is offered to season ticket holders. It’s about the only value proposition left. Outside of these scenarios, STHs overpay for just about everything else.
Opening the Watch Parties up to Season Seat Holders first was such a poor move by the Brewers. SSH’s already have purchased WS tickets at reasonable prices, now they own all the watch party tickets too.
It’s pretty clear the Milwaukee Brewers don’t give af about their out of city “Wisco” fans who can’t logistically purchase 20+ tickets a summer.
This week has ruined a lot of good vibes. I’m gonna bitch about this stuff all day today, but drop it tomorrow and focus on the actual moment fully.

Now there are 18 listings of 8+ tickets on @SeatGeek
And number of listings of 2+ tickets has remained unchanged today. Still 210. They are reloading as things sell to create artificial scarcity. @Brewers are Manipulating the “secondary” to make you pay more

Nothing exposes the problem with the Live Nation–Ticketmaster monopoly more clearly than this Calvin Harris tour. Shows sold outside Ticketmaster, using randomized waiting rooms, have resale tickets starting around $110~. Ticketmaster shows, using its selection process, have get-in prices of $400 or more. How is that a win for fans? This system helps 2% of them at the expense of the other 98%. What do you want to bet they all show up on Ticketmaster Resale in blocks of 20, and TM looks the other way because it makes a fortune on resale fees? #Ticketmaster #Monopoly #CalvinHarrisTickets
@ScottFriedman3 @forcemm
Toronto and Hamilton prohibit resale above face value. St. Paul, Salt Lake City, and Houston all used platforms other than Ticketmaster. From there down, it’s ALL Ticketmaster venues—with absurd resale prices. That’s what this system gets you. The common denominator problem: Ticketmaster
Weird. Now there are 15 listings of 8+ tickets. Who has two thumbs and isn’t surprised one bit?
This guy ::points at self::
Artificial scarcity folks. Supply was held back to keep prices propped up.

Gov. Healey’s bill would pour gasoline on an already raging fire.”
Why are we allowing @Ticketmaster to hold back tickets from fans and then sell them at outrageous platinum prices?
@MassGovernor, who is this bill really protecting? The fans or Live Nation and Ticketmaster?
My article in CommonWealth Beacon. Link below
There are still 14 listings of 8+ listings. Many of them top rows in the 400s (where season ticket holders don’t exist). Prices decreasing as you go away from the plate. You know. Like the box office would price “face values” at.
Believe what you want.
A bunch of new listings popped up overnight. And the get in has dropped around $500. The people behind the manipulation know what they are doing. But eventually the true market price will show. May not happen until game day.

Sports franchises are basically run like Real Estate companies now. Season Tickets might as well be viewed as rent because you don’t own the tickets anymore in a majority of cases.

I know multiple people who used to have full season packages for the Yankees at the old stadium. Would make it to 35-40 games a year. Resell 15-20 at face, sell the Red Sox games for twice, and donate or give away the rest. The goal wasnt to make a profit, just pay for the games they could go to.
Then prices doubled at the new stadium, the Yankees made dumb rules against stubhub, and it no longer made sense to get season tickets and now they go to half the games they used to.

@NFL invoices are coming in, and it’s the same story every year.
For the last 10 years, teams have raised prices year after year. Good team, bad team — makes no difference. The price increases are INSANE.
Fans are getting fed up, and people are walking away for good.
Teams better wake up. You can only squeeze your loyal fans so much before you lose them forever
