Ticket Sharing |
|
IntroductionWelcome to Ticket Sharing. I am a long-time Seattle Mariners season ticket holder, and I've divided my two seats into one-quarter shares of all regular season home games. These seats are located at Section 124, Row 11, Seats 3-4. This is in the premier seating area along the first-base line, and seven rows behind the Mariners dugout. Premier seats are padded, and the tickets also allow access into the Terrace Club Lounge.
Ticket PricesThe cost of the tickets is equal to the face value price. Season ticket prices vary by game, depending on the day and opponent. There are four ticket price levels: single, double, triple, and home run. See the price breakdown below.
Group sharesDuring the off-season, I split the home schedule into four group shares - A, B, C, and D. Each full share is allocated about 20 games, and may be further divided into 10-game half shares (if needed). I use the Mariners 20-game plan schedules as a starting point, then tweak them to maximize fair distribution. The goal is to balance weekend/weekday, day/night, ticket cost, and mix of opposing teams. Each partner selects a preferred group and alternate. If multiple partners prefer the same group, we negotiate or flip a coin. Individual games may be swapped later as needed. The current availability is shown below.
Playoff gamesIf the Mariners are in contention for the playoffs, they will announce their policy about ticket distribution at that time. Partners with a full group share (minimum 20 games) will be given the option to purchase post-season tickets. Keep in mind that the playoff situation can change on short notice, and ticket prices are set by Major League Baseball and are much more expensive than during the regular season. Ticket exchangeThese Mariners tickets are valuable and should be used to the maximum extent possible. If you know you can't make one of the games, ask me to see if one of us would be willing to make a switch. Or, you can exchange your tickets at least 24 hours in advance at the stadium box office. You can also buy or sell off extra tickets on a 3rd-party reseller, such as StubHub or SeatGeek.
