So I just got the call from my rep about the trade in. I had wanted to do this a couple weeks ago but he said then that he wasn't sure how it would work yet until they had they had their educational group seminar. Said I would be his first call, but seems you guys had a few hours head start
.
Anyway, I traded out of 8 games (DC, MON, CHI, SEA, SKC, HOU, CLB, TOR) from nosebleeds section to Legends B vs RBs. I think it was a clever move. Living in CT at the moment I really don't want make the trip to any of these mid week games, but I probably would like to check out the legends seats once and worst case I think legends vs RB would easily outsell all 8 of these mid weeks games combined, if i intend on selling.
The issue with the "free tokens" is not a treat for founding members, but rather they couldn't put two prices for the sames seats in the "trade in" function. So even though they have my founding member cost loaded for my "trade out" i have to buy back at the regular price. The pre-loaded "free tokens" was a workaround to let me sorta buy back in a founding member prices. Should cover most small trade ins, but it wasn't enough for my full swap, so I am in limbo waiting for them to add a few more tokens. My rep is holding my trade in seats, which is nice i guess, but sounds like from what he said there are more prime seats being held in reserve for other things. That came up cause I said I don't want to lose these seats cause of your glitch, to which he mentioned don't worry, the reserve will hold, but if not there are plenty of better seats on hold for unrelated purposes that we could free up if needed.
All in all, its a nice feature in the app. It would be nice if they could show the seats on a stadium layout though. As it is now you just need to keep hitting refresh to cycle though available seats, which isn't the best when you might be on the best available but you don't really know unless you cycle repeatedly to confirm. Good luck to those with trust issues, i foresee them getting stuck in refresh paralysis.
