I'm aiming to make 20-25 games this season as I know I won't be able to make all 41. Are there any ticket holders who can give some advice or input on the best way to go about selling them, thanks.

Buy season tickets. Sell the Cavs and Lakers games and you'll have made up how much you paid for the other 39. Then sell the remainder for slightly under face or give away for shitty games. Profit.

1. Take advantage of all the buybacks or trades that the Pelicans offer.

2. Try your hand on the TD ticket exchange, Stubhub, or ticketmaster ticket exchange, where you will likely have to sell at a discount.

3. Consider donating to charity, and write off your donation for a return on your taxes.

4. Try to find one or two people to buy into your ticket plan with you (thats what I do). Have a ticket draft, and share the perks of season ticket ownership.

5. Give them away to someone who will show up and enjoy the game.

Only if you KNOW you are buying next year. If not you lose that money

Your not finding more exposure on a message board with 250 regulars. Ticketmaster.

You only get the rate of your tax bracket back I believe. So a $100 ticket donated for 25% tax bracket individual means you get to eat $75. Enjoy.

And yes.... get a half season plan. Your rep can tailor the plan to the games you can make. Guaranteed

Where are your tickets?

If they are cheap it's not even worth selling on a site that takes a percentage. You're better off finding someone to split the season with

Yep this guys right. Sell the hot games if you dont want to make them (Miami, Cavs, Lakers, OKC) and you will definately make up a big portion.

As much as i HATE ticketmaster and they absolute way the jew everyone (by taking portions of all re-sales that they have already made money off of) its the fastest way to re-sell it depending on where your tickets are. I have floor seats and for Miami game last year the face value was $1850/each and guys next to me sold theirs for $6k/each. Most lower bowl or better tickets will sell 2x face value for hot games.

Yes also if you let your ticket rep know in advance (i think its 4+ days) The Pels do offer "BuyBack." You can also call them and set up your own plan, they have weekend plans, half season, or you can pretty much customize your own i used to do it and it worked out nicely.
