2018 Season Ticket Thread
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
I believe the Yankees’ discount is down to 5% but not sure this would also apply to Nycfc. This is a good move for us though, Stubhub is much better for moving tickets than Ticketmaster exchange
Account manager still says powered by ticketmaster and selling is currently not an option

Just so you're not disappointed - doesn't this generally mean we'll get less for out tickets, which will cost more?
The spread on Ticketmaster was lower, meaning buyers paid less and sellers got more.
This is an easily avoidable operational blunder. One day, something will actually go wrong and they’ll miss the deadline.
I wonder what this means for TicketsNow, which I think has a deal with MLS and had a lot of resale volume last year.
Overall, I think this should be a positive, because now there will be one site with all the tickets getting sold - you don't have to worry that your tickets on Ticketmaster will get overlooked by a potential buyer who is only looking at StubHub.
Of course, if they are doing this to increase the commission on season ticket holders, that will suck. I am already having to sell a lot more this year because of all the late kickoffs.

Pre-sale for additional single match tickets are available for City Members through Account Manager now. Single Match tickets go on sale to the public tomorrow.
Account manager is always powered by Ticketmaster, and will continue to be powered by Ticketmaster. This function will show when you click the Sell Tickets button within the game inside the account manager. Instead of showing the ticket exchange screen, it’ll open Stubhub and you’ll be able to sell your tickets thereAccount manager still says powered by ticketmaster and selling is currently not an option
Depends on if there’s a specific deal made between nycfc and Stubhub, if they agreed on a lower commission percentage. That’s what the Yankees did when they implemented this.
The upside here is you’re getting a wider customer base here for sure... many more people use Stubhub over Ticketmaster Exchange. Should mean you can get a bit more for your tickets.
We're not getting a wider base than likely then on both, like I always did. Believe it or not, a lot of people as much more comfortable buying on Ticketmaster than they are on StubHub.
The downside is I imagine your resale tickets won't show along regular tickets on the ticket master map?
I can buy that, but just anecdotally when I needed to sell, Stubhub always come through whereas Ticketmaster simply didn’t.
I think with this new arrangement, you won’t be able to list matches on Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster will only show box office tickets, and Stubhub will have the resale tickets. It’s a sly win for nycfc too, cause if there are people that are only comfortable buying tickets on Ticketmaster, you won’t be able to sell your tickets to them. It will mean that NYCFC will get people to buy new tickets from them on Ticketmaster instead of resale tickets.
Can someone please explain to me how this works for selling, mechanically/technically speaking? I've never used mobile tickets for anything, so I genuinely don't understand. I used to print my tickets to PDF, and then if I couldn't use them, I'd upload them to StubHub to sell. If I'm not getting PDFs anymore, how do I "upload" a mobile ticket to StubHub to sell it? Can't believe I've already hit the age where I've been surpassed by technology.
Probably click a button that says "sell on StubHub". And then another button to confirm. And then probably have to avoid paying for insurance. But then on the bright side, you will have the chance to win a gift voucher for Best Buy. But then you will be set.
Very cool how corporate competition ensures that consumers get the very best treatment.
I don't understand -- you're making the point that being restricted to one market is better than two?
And Ticketmaster will still have resale tickets on it -- just not ours.
I don't see any way in which this is better for us.
Wait -- we still have to manually list and manually deliver our tickets? So it's actually a bigger pain?
For the Yankees, your tickets are automatically loaded to Stubhub and delivered by Stubhub.

No I’m saying it’ll be like the yankees, where there’s a button that says Sell on Stubhub. I could be wrong but I thought that all tickets were then resold on Stubhub... why would there be a Ticketmaster resale site if we’re all bring switched to Stubhub.
