Wait, not so fast. I had trouble following the instructions.

I can't imagine that wording would hold up, especially since he flat out admits what he is doing on the page.

He also claims the third row of Section G is a great seat.  I guess there's something to be said for being in the horshoe end, but down that low you won't have a good view of the scoreboard end of the rink.

Yeah, but in '02, when Cornell absolutely dominated 2nd periods, the horseshoe end was such a good place to be.

[q]All Bidders: New York state law restricts the resale price of a ticket for this venue (event location).  Specifically, the sales price cannot exceed $204.00 and the auction will end when bidding reaches this price.[/q]
Interesting claim on the face value of the Harvard ticket.

This looks like a repeat of last year.  Someone tried to sell an entire season ticket on eBay and calculated the maximum allowable price by multiplying the number of games in the package times the cost of the entire season ticket and then applying the 20% premium.  It would seem this person has applied the 20% premium to the price of the entire season ticket.  Last year the ticket office was made aware and forced the seller (a student) to buy the tickets in her own auction.

Why aren't we doing this again right now?


EDIT: Never mind.  I e-mailed Gene this morning about this, and he promptly got back to me saying that they already knew and were investigating the matter.
Is next year here yet?

What's the NYS law on ticket resale?  Can you resell with a small premium?  Face value?

Also, does the law apply if you are doing the selling from out of state?  (Obviously, this probably doesn't apply for Cornell hockey in most cases, but it could for some alums.)

The limit is face value (plus fees, if any) plus the higher of 20% or $5.  This applies if either the buyer or the seller is in New York state, IIRC.

[q]The limit is face value (plus fees, if any) plus the higher of 20% or $5. This applies if either the buyer or the seller is in New York state, IIRC.[/q]Thanks Beeeej.  The either clause makes sense too - NYS law applies to anyone that the legislature can claim to have authority over.  Of course, it's probably harder to enforce on the buyer's side.

This should not be construed as an open invitation for out of state alums like Quinn and Whelan to eBay their tickets for outrageous sums :-P.
