ScoreBig: New Ticket Marketplace

There are always new secondary ticket market places trying to grab a slice of the market, because it’s a huge market. ScoreBig.com is one of those places.

 

It’s run a little like Priceline’s name your own price feature in that you pick a pricing category and then select how much you’re willing to pay. You enter your info and click submit, and the site lets you know if your price is accepted, or if you need to adjust your selections. Simple and easy really.

 

I purchased two tickets to the Saturday Mets game in May featuring the David Wright Canvas Print giveaway and the process was painless. I picked the 4-star section and when my bid was rejected I dropped down to the 3-star section and had success. At each level there is a seating map with the sections represented so you know roughly what type of seats you’re bidding on.

 

My seats ended up being about 20% off face and I suspect I could’ve gotten them for less; the site actually tossed me an additional savings after I successfully had an offer accepted. My advice would be to check the sections against the face value price on mets.com/tickets and make an educated bid.

 

Some quick facts:

  • You are guaranteed to save on each and every ticket on ScoreBig.com

  • Tickets for sports, concerts, theater, Broadway, family shows, and attractions

  • No fees – free delivery

Seat Crew and Mets Ticket Giveaways

Seatcrew.com is a new secondary ticket marketplace designed to be fan friendly by eliminating ticket fees.  I know we’re all fed up with handling fees, and print at home fees and all the various ticket fees from other markets and even the original seller in most cases.  At Seatcrew the listed price is the amount you pay.

 

As a way to get their name out there and get you using their site (after all, the more sellers the better selection of seats for buyers) Optimistic Mets Fan is going to be giving away tickets courtesy of Seatcrew for four different games of the 2012 Mets season.   There will be a Brewers game on May 15th, the Rockies on August 20th, and the Phillies on September 17th.

 

First up is the Nationals on April 11th.  This is the final game of the opening homestand, and you should look for the giveaway during the week leading up to Opening Day.  Brush up on your history, because I’ll be asking an Opening Day themed trivia question in order to qualify for the tickets.

 

Seatcrew looks like the perfect mix between between Stubhub and Craigslist for ticket sales.  A comfortable and organized website, and the ability to negotiate directly with the seller in order to complete the sale and transfer in the best way possible for both parties..all without fees.  The video below will tell you everything you need to know.
