Its disgusting, Sam Kennedy explains his reasons for making Ace Ticket the official "offline" broker of the Red Sox. I don't have a problem with the secondary market, its capitalism. I have trouble with the team shaming resellers and then entering into contracts like this. For years I have been getting letters, don't sell your tickets online, don't sell for more than face value, don't use brokers. And then all of a sudden it was okay you can use a broker as long as it is Stubhub. I don't like StubHub, they charge 25% on every transaction, why should I use them? So I used eBay and my auction got removed by MLB for using eBay. Hello, eBay owns Stub Hub, 100% of it! Does anyone see the hypocrisy here. So now they tell me to sell my extra tickets to Ace Tickets. I called Ace and they told me they would give me $35 for my extras. Thats not bad, but they are selling for $85. Why can't I sell for $85? Its ridiculous. Have you seen the season ticket holder letter that just came out? Its disgusting, Sam Kennedy explains his reasons for making Ace Ticket the official “offline” broker of the Red Sox.
