Is there a 2017 Ticket Exchange?

Donny4th · August 19, 2017

I have been on the forum for a while but haven't been able to find if there is a ticket exchange for 2017? I was going to see if any Club seats are available for the Lamar game.

Ticket exchange would be an awesome deal! I can reactivate unused tickets for a nominal charge to bring friends to future games (FC dallas). They make money off of me twice in many cases.

@Harry used to have a forum on here specifically for ticket exchange, but I don't see it anymore.

There are always club seats available as club seat holders can purchase guest passes. The sticking point on that in my experience is that prospective buyers don't expect the sticker shock. I haven't gotten the letter from athletics laying out the policies this year, but the face value on the tickets are usually indicative of that, and they say $95 this year, not including a parking pass, which I think runs about $25.

People having extra club tickets that they'll let go for lower prices if not outright give away tends to happen later in the season, not the first game.

Gawd, that f'in guy. I don't remember what tipped me off on him, but I ended up personally taking him down, enduring a few barbed comments from certain administrators in the process.

What a dick.

Edit -- found the history on this in my email. The year that CUSA told us that students could no longer sit directly behind the visitor's bench, we put together a crowd sourcing campaign to buy the tickets and distribute them out to noisy students and young alumni (this failed endeavor eventually led to what we now know as the Eastside club).

Edie, who had been a fixture on the board, tacitly representing himself as an employee of the UNT message board, started to message me and told me that if we were going to purchase season tickets for an entire section that I was to do it through him.

Something smelled funny, so I looked him up, found him on LinkedIn, and discovered that he had absolutely nothing to do with UNT or the Athletic Department. He was a third party trying to pawn of tickets on UNT fans and representing himself as a member of the athletic department.

I voiced concern about this, and there were a few really interesting private emails that went back and forth.

Eventually, ole' Eddie found himself gone.
