Author Topic: Looking to use your address for $ (to send my sports tix) (Read 2714 times)

mannymann711 · « **on:** March 07, 2016, 01:04:04 PM »

I am looking to buy the use of house addresses to send sports tickets to. Probably 3-4 items are sent all year.

Items (sports/concert tickets) that get sent to your house will just need to be thrown out, not kept/forwarded/scanned. Its really simple.

Willing to pay $50-$75/year for use of the address.

Thanks

Why would you need that?

Sports teams don't want to sell to brokers, so you need to pretend that you are a real fan that lives in the city that the team plays in...

Which town/s?

Right now, I can probably use any city/town. Best if there is a sports team in the area, but not a requirement.

For the teams that require photo ID and credit card, how much are you paying for that?

mannymann711 · « **Reply #7 on:** March 07, 2016, 01:48:47 PM »

We would generally not be asking people to send ID or any other personal info. You would not be paying on your credit card. All that would be taken care of on our end. We just need the local address.

So then you won't be buying Washington Capitals or Dallas Stars tickets (just to name a couple) I take it, or will you be forging docs?

Most teams don't ask for photo ID. But wouldn't be surprised if the market moved that way - the popular teams seem to be hellbent on kicking out the small brokers. I've heard of a number of teams that non-renewed small brokers and instead did big deals (ie millions of dollars of tix) with 2 or 3 huge brokers.

The big teams started asking for ID and CC. Some even make you come down in person now in order to renew your season tix.

Why can't someone just open up the phone book and pick out addresses?

Because the teams send paper tickets to the address, if the receiver sends it back saying "I never ordered this", the team will shut your account.

Most people would probably just throw it out, but I guess these brokers don't want to risk it.

I have 14 tickets with the Caps and they know i'm a broker and are fine with it (at least for another year). Same with bruins with 8 tickets. Have 4 tickets with Cavs and they haven't asked for ID (but think I am a real fan). I guess it all depends on when you got into the game...

If you had tickets show up to your house you wouldn't try to attend one of the games or attempt to contact a ticket representative to find out why you received the tickets?

Many people would throw it out, some might send it back to the team. We are looking and paying people to just throw it out. Pretty simple.

Just wondering... A POB won't work for this?

mannymann711 · « **Reply #19 on:** March 07, 2016, 02:41:31 PM »

sometimes a PO Box works, some teams do not want to send to PO Boxes. And PO Boxes arent really cheaper or as efficient.
