Around SBN: Dog Football! Which Breeds Are Best Suited For The Gridiron?

"So you’d think Red Sox seats are impossible to score. Wrong. About 20 percent to 30 percent of tickets trade on what’s become baseball’s hottest secondary market, according to the club, making seats available for every game. Usually that means paying a big premium over face value. But for some games, even when resale prices fall below face value, tickets end up in the trash, Bloomberg BusinessWeek reports in its Aug. 2 edition. "

Not sure I'd call this a "scam"

Maybe the sellouts are “misleading.”

Every team uses secondary markets (e.g StubHub)

The difference is that the Red Sox management seem to be artificially limiting supply through use of resellers in order to claim that all games sell out.

no clever meme necessary
