Cavs Ticket Questions, Policies, and STH Concerns

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
It's tough to predict the opener. I now wonder how seats are going to sell for average home games throughout the week. I can't imagine even the worst games being sold for any less than face value, right?

It appears there are not many premium seats available, i.e.., four lower bowl sections to the side of the court. Most of the seats on flash seats are upper deck, many nosebleeds. Now that the lottery is over, the market inventory is set, and tickets being sold on forums other than flashseats are being watched and, I believe, confiscated by the Cavs . My belief is the nosebleed prices will fall, given the supply (and since I believe many owners are new and looking to sell rather than go to the game), and the premium seats will start to sell for large amounts as the hype mounts and supply shrinks. I also believe that there are strong sellers for premium seats, i.e., die hard Cavs fans who will go to the game versus lower their prices to sell. While in years past buyers got cheaper prices if they waited, I think those days are gone: waiting may cause prices to increase as supply dwindles closer to the game.

Things will sort out, but I believe the rules of the past four years are not in operation.

Not sure I buy that theory. If you sort by category, you'll see that 13 of the 22 pages of offers are lower bowl or clubs. 60% of the seats in the arena are in the lower bowl, so that pretty much indicates a pretty even distribution of tickets.

Actually, I wasted even more time. Currently, there's 283 club seats available out of 2000 total tickets. That's 15% of capacity already for sale.

When 10-15% of ticketholders are looking to flip tickets, I find it pretty unlikely that prices will rise. It seems more likely that some of the people asking for the moon will realize they won't get getting a 10x markup on the price they paid for their tickets, but decide that a 4-5x markup is still a pretty nice profit. I'm guessing we won't start seeing that until 1-2 weeks out, when they realize that their lottery tickets will be worthless at 7:31 on October 30.

Interesting. I guess I was focused on sections 108, 109, 125 and 126, and then, secondarily, 107, 110, 124 and 127. I would not put club seats or other sections in the lower bowl in that category. A quick review did not find too many of those seats being offered for sale, compared to the rest. I do believe that some have crazy prices. I'm also sure everyone is searching for that sweet spot where it is worth it to sell versus attend.

Anyone know what the "face value" of a ticket is now for sections 108, 109, 125, 126? I can't tell since they are owned by season ticketholders.

Again, I believe you won't even find a page full of listings in these four middle sections.

Been hard to tell. People were saying the lower bowl ends and corners were going for around $160-170 for the Spurs game, so probably $225-250 for those sideline sections in that same Spurs game.

For the opener, guessing around $350-400 face value. My Sec 216 Row 11 seats for the opener were $125 face for the single game seats.

It's all variable pricing. On the Cavs website a full season ticket in C110 (where my 10 game package is) is $90. But my 10 game average is $120/game with the games ranging anywhere from $84-$180

I'm kind of in the group that would rather go to the game if I don't get a great offer. I have my game listed, but if it's not a pretty hefty bid, I will probably just go. This event could be one of the biggest in Cleveland history in the last 20 years. I'd also almost guarantee that there will be a giveaway or something along the effect of "The Return" or something like that. It's going to be electric, and the only way I'm missing out on that is if someone makes me an offer I can't refuse. PUMPED FOR THIS SEASON!

Again, that's not really true either. Remember that those sections only have 14 rows because they back up to the loges. There's what? 16 seats in a row, so a max of 224 seats in a section.

Here's my count from FlashSeats -

107 - 38 tickets for sale
108 - 12
109 - 24
110 - 42
124 - 34
125 - 27
126 - 17
127 - 30

That's 224 tickets out of 1792, or 12.5%. Which amazingly enough, is pretty much the same as all other tickets.

No matter how you break it down, 10-15% of all seats for the opener are on FlashSeats.

You're pretty good at breaking this stuff out - quick question for you on which seat you think is more valuable: Both in upper bowl - Behind basket row 6 (of 17) or midcourt row 15 (of 17).

My face value for section 106 was just short of $300 per ticket.
 
My face value of section 224 row 15 was $105 (plus fees).
 
All this crazy crap about selling restrictions. Anyone looking to trade tickets?
 
By the grace of God I scored tickets to the opener!!! but does face value for Section 226 @ $120 a piece sound right?
