I&#x27;m a season ticket holder for an NBA team that runs its own secondary market for tickets. I have mixed feelings on this. On one hand, I can&#x27;t use services like StubHub to list my tickets for sale because the tickets are locked down into the secondary market account. On the other hand, I&#x27;ve never seen crap like this happen on there.<p>I was lucky&#x2F;smart enough to list all the games I couldn&#x27;t attend at multiples of face value and adjust the price as the game dates come closer. This worked out well with my tickets to the game against the Lakers because they sold pretty quickly after Kobe&#x27;s announcement. I definitely didn&#x27;t get full market value for them, but people were getting their tickets poached at far less because they set them for a pre-retirement announcement value. Since the Lakers stink and it was a weekday game, that value was probably below face value.<p>But with the market we&#x27;re forced to use, you can&#x27;t take your tickets back, which is clearly a good thing.
