MLB Attendance Problems

Here to expose ticket offices manipulation tactics to make people pay more. I don’t attack fanbases. Former MLB season ticket holder from 2001-2019.

For those not following along. The @Brewers are either direct listing or working with a broker/consolidator to control supply on the “secondary market”.

The BOTS ACT is in place to circumvent ticket limits which gives an unfair advantage to certain buyers over general consumers

@janicebbox Perhaps do some research if you think teams aren’t involved on resale sites. These sites are simply distribution channels for teams to sell tickets.

@BY272727 Thanks Ben. I saw it and posted it around the same time you tagged me.

[MLB Attendance Problems @ProblemsMlb]

Following exact same pattern as yesterday. @Brewers turn off sale at box office and then load all the good seats they normally drop on gameday directly on @SeatGeek

[MLB Attendance Problems @ProblemsMlb]

@TheRealBenz2 @SeatGeek @Brewers These are real tickets. Fake tickets priced too high won’t do much to the market. SeatGeek actually punishes sellers who don’t deliver. If these were bought.

[MLB Attendance Problems @ProblemsMlb]

Let’s watch the 6+ ticket listings bounce around the stadium as supply is manipulated. These are all from today. Random sellers don’t list 6+ tickets together on game day when the limit is 2. The supply continues to be manipulated to inflate price
@SeatGeek
@Brewers #WorldSeries

@TKrueger71 The primary is too high. They had it probably right before and then raised.

@caseyflip22 @WillJen33752275 I wouldn’t trust anyone selling tickets on twitter.

[MLB Attendance Problems @ProblemsMlb]

Game 2 drops

[MLB Attendance Problems @ProblemsMlb]

@WillJen33752275 @caseyflip22 I know. Lots of fans after these few seats.

[MLB Attendance Problems @ProblemsMlb]

@WillJen33752275 @caseyflip22 No prob. Sorry for all the typos in that prior response. Lots of luck needed indeed.

[MLB Attendance Problems @ProblemsMlb]

@WillJen33752275 @caseyflip22 When the seller doesn’t like seat numbers it highlights the whole row being but it’s a straight line. If they define seat numbers, there would be dots on each seat. Second screenshot is in Tampa. See the dots vs straight line?

[MLB Attendance Problems @ProblemsMlb]

@WillJen33752275 @caseyflip22 The largest set of tickets on SeatGeek for tonight is 6. There are not whole rows available.

[MLB Attendance Problems @ProblemsMlb]

@WillJen33752275 @GrantLawton Yes. MLB requires you to login before you can put anything in your cart. And they started 2 factor authen this year to verify account as part of login.

[MLB Attendance Problems @ProblemsMlb]

@stamples @Brewers If it’s a straight line showing the row (vs dots for each seat) it’s undefined seat numbers on SeatGeek. Not necessarily the whole row being for sale. Lots of those listings are speculative and mirroring another exchange.

@GrantLawton Awesome, Congrats! Enjoy the game!

[MLB Attendance Problems @ProblemsMlb]

@caseyflip22 Ok. It’s a screenshot. It was true. The tickets just go fast.

[MLB Attendance Problems @ProblemsMlb]

@BlueDog876 Ticketmaster is simply a resale marketplace for the brewers and most of MLB. The brewers and majority of MLB use tickets. com as their primary which feeds to the mlb page and mlb ballpark.

[MLB Attendance Problems @ProblemsMlb]

@stamples I don’t know. Some policies change for postseason. Some change year to year. I don’t track the changes that closely. I know guardians, Red Sox, and padres shut down at first pitch on SeatGeek. Most teams don’t.

[MLB Attendance Problems @ProblemsMlb]

A couple of tidbits from after the game started. Tickets clearly being controlled not by fans / typical resellers. Just tossing this out there since some people still think this is scalpers and not an inside job. Game in 3rd inn when screenshots were taken. Priced not to sell.

[MLB Attendance Problems @ProblemsMlb]

@stamples SeatGeek for Brewers turns off an hour after first pitch. A few teams shut off at first pitch. Some shut off 30 minutes after, most are an hour after.

[MLB Attendance Problems @ProblemsMlb]

@texasreb126 @ScottFriedman3 @StubHub @Brewers So many better options than Stubhub.

[MLB Attendance Problems @ProblemsMlb]

@Cool1Are They go fast. I wasn’t watching that close. When they still show, they are in someone’s cart but purchase not complete yet. Cart timer is 10 minutes.
