How far in advance can I buy tickets for sporting events?
Professional game tickets are usually available months before the season starts. Usually tickets are available as soon as the schedules come out for the NFL, MLB, NHL and NBA. Tickets for major sporting events such as the Indy 500, Kentucky Derby, Masters Golf and others may be available up to six months or more before the event date.
How are the sports ticket prices determined?
Supply and demand is the simple answer as to how much you will have to pay. Everything from the seat location, opponent and the original face value of the ticket can go into determining the price of sporting events on the secondary market. Some tickets are sold well above the face value, while some may sell below the printed price of the ticket. But fans should be aware that dynamic ticket pricing can also play a hand in the cost.
What is dynamic ticket pricing?
Most professional sports are changing the way they price tickets. With dynamic ticket pricing the teams will raise the price or face value of the tickets for games that are more popular. Weekend games and rival teams may have higher ticket prices than weekday games with teams with losing records. The teams may also raise the price as the seats sell out, much like ticket brokers do.
Are there any refunds or exchanges once I have purchased tickets at PreferredSeat.com?
There are no refunds or exchanges unless the event cancels completely. If the sporting event is postponed then you must hold onto the ticket for the rescheduled date.
