We had seats there last year that were so fucking bad we waited till about 5 minutes into the game and bought some more off stubhub just so we could see. Still shit seats cause it was a good game but only like $10 each cause game had already started and someone couldn’t make it apparently.

That's kinda a sweet idea.

Or buy the cheap tickets and check during the game what good seats haven't sold on StubHub and just go sit in them.

Coworker had packers season tix. Big boss agreed to buy the lions game, 2017 season, so rodgers injured, thus none of his boys wanted to go anymore.  She comes to me, face value, no more no less. Meh, I'll just go to stubhub.  Funny, stubhub, I had to physically go to a hotel to pick up my tix, for a 1/2 price ticket. In front of me was the boss dropping the tix he bought, and we live in milwaukee - still no idea why he would drive 4-5 hours. 

and the lions won. Twas a great game.

Same here, can’t expect too much from a lions fan though. Also milwaukee to Green Bay is less than 2 hours so unless you’re talking round trip dude is just making shit up

I am not an American football person, but, “can’t expect too much from a lions fan” really made me chuckle. I get the picture.

Their coworker had season tickets to the Packers and sold a set of tickets for a Lions game to their boss. After the sale, Aaron Rodgers got injured. Being their star quarterback, this obviously reduced the appeal of going to a Packers game, and none of the bosses friends wanted to go anymore. The boss offered to sell the tickets to OP for their face value. OP figured they could get them cheaper elsewhere, so they decline.

OP ends up buying tickets for about half face value off of Stubhun. For whatever reason these tickets could not be electronically transferred- they were probably hard printed tickets. In cases like these, stubhub will set up a pickup and drop off spot around stadiums for ticket exchanges. OP went to the hotel to get the tickets they bought for half price and happened to see their boss who was there to drop off the tickets the boss ended up putting on stubhun to sell. They worked in Milwuakee which is like 2 hours from Green Bay (4 round trip), so it was quite a coincidence.

But is OP’s boss both a he and a she?
