Message: [QUOTE="Phorcys, post: 1996971, member: 5606"] My son has asked for LA Clippers tickets as his 11th birthday gift, specifically to attend their home game in late February against the Charlotte Hornets. Why that particular game? Well, because Kemba Walker is his favorite player (proof that I am a good father), and the Clippers are his favorite team (further proof that I am a good father—as a Celtics fan, I carefully persuaded my son, who was born in LA, from becoming a Lakers fan). Any and all suggestions will be appreciated. I am essentially a newbie to this, having not bought big-venue event tickets at least since before my son was born. Are all ticket “resellers” one and the same? Ticketmaster and StubHub, for example, offer the exact same seats for sale at different prices. Why? In the past, I thought these companies bought blocks of tickets and made their money by creating scarcity. Has the business model changed? If they are dipping into the same pool of tickets, I assume the differences between the resellers is in the fees. [/QUOTE]
