Season ticket arbitrage
I've never been a season ticket holder, but have been a fan for 40 years and Rod Strickland is my favorite Wizard of all time. At this point I am getting pretty excited for the season, with tempered expectations.
I'm thinking about getting season tickets and trying to have them pay for themselves - basically sell some of the premiere games (Spurs, Knicks, 76ers, maybe Heat) and be able to go to 10 - 15 games for free (with the proceeds from the sales paying for the balance). I'm not looking to make a profit, just break even.
I understand there is some risk with this approach. With the buzz around the team (AJ, the various Traes, AD, the young bucks) it feels like the secondary market might pay enough to make this work.
Anyone tried this before? Is managing ticket sales on StubHub/SeatGeek/whatever a full time job? Any tips? I understand there is some risk here.
