I have found they sell for more in TE than Stubhub. Don't know why. I don't know how law/new law/old law is playing out. What is the latest? Wish we could offer here for above face, maybe one posting per member (to prevent spamming). Would save the commisions for all involved!

TE does not allow to post for less than face and they include fees n the posting price
I am not sure of the exact fees but if I remember when you post your tickets for face (in my case $56) on TE you get back $53 per ticket and the buyer has to pay $65. That is why Albany has a problem as the Rangers and ticketbastard are still making a profit. On non-premium games I post here for $60 per ticket which includes my paypal fees. The buyer of a single game as well as the seller both save a few dollars.

Yeah, they charge a 5% commission (rangers) and ticketdisaster still adds their service charge since this is done through their servers and the email you receive with the tickets is from ticketdisaster, too (I think).
This was the most recent article that I saw re: Ticket scalping.
Did anything change subsequent to the article?
Yes the law was not extended
That article is from June 2009, Broadway Blue posted before
"You can sell them on any site you want. The only question is what will we be allowed to sell them for (particularly on TE) now that the temporary law ending ticket scalping has expired. Haven't heard much about this lately"
Here is one of the articles it was mentioned in back in May 2010

Here is one of the articles it was mentioned in back in May 2010
"Gov. David Paterson signed the bill permitting a continued open market in entertainment and sports ticket resales for another year, spokesman Morgan Hook said. He will review the others when they reach his desk. "
"The ticket scalping measure extends for another year resales without price restrictions. It requires a transferability option for even paperless tickets. It outlaws using automated ticket purchasing software to move ahead of others waiting to get tickets. "
By legalizing ticket scalping, it actually lowers the market cost. Years ago, people were afraid of getting caught. Now, every tom, dick, and harry is buying ticket packages thinking they will sell some of the games at a profit to lower their cost. Increased supply of tickets on the secondary market with the same demand lowers the price.
A link my ticket rep gave me for a virtual view of the sections. Should be a little more accurate than the one on The Garden's website because those are taken from the front of the section. This at least you can pick from two or three rows.

Charging full price for sections 401 and 428 should be criminal.
Hey metros, just wondering how you like the view there and how obstructed is the goal?
I moved from 301 to 412 to save some money.
I'm pretty nervous about the view.
It's not awful or unbearable but you will have trouble viewing the puck & hits/plays that occur directly behind the goal line against the boards in one corner... 412 is one of the corner sections behind the goal line, correct? I've sat in these sections quite a few times... What often winds up happening is people in the earlier rows will stand up to see a particular play and it creates a chain reaction in the section as a result...
Attached below is a picture of the view from your section in one of the particular seats of that section. Taken from:

You have to lean foward to have a good view. I don't mind that because I lean foward anyway. I personally would rather stand. I still do not like the netting behind the goal. Being that I am only a mini plan holder and a sell a few games to friends of mine, I can not comment on how the atmosphere of the section is game in and game out. 2 games I went to last year I thought the atmosphere was atrocious. Another game I thought the atmosphere was brilliant. It's very hit or miss I guess which is sad, but that's the modern Garden.

I've long griped about this... It's a travesty that they charge fans full price for "limited view" seats... I mean there's some seats where you can't even see a 1/3rd of the ice surface, and that's supposed to be at the fan's expense or the fan's fault for buying the seats because the building is out-dated????

I like standing too... I have done that for a couple games... Just stand behind the railing and drink my beer... However some ushers are nazi-like about mandating you sit in your seat... Had a guy tell me to go find my seat so I walked to my section and waited at the top because the play was going on and he follows me and stands right next to me for the next 4 minutes looking at me like I was doing to disobey his marching order...

I'm not concerned with the atmosphere. That's out of my control. I just want to see the play. I have no problem leaning forward. I was just worried that the goal might be entirely obstructed due to the three rows in front of me. I assumed I would have a hard time with plays behind the net and in the near corner. I just want to know that you're still able to really see the goal if you position yourself correctly.

Yeah thanks. That's the link I was using when I was on the phone with my rep re-upping. I thought that looked great. When he emailed me the virtual link I posted above I got more nervous because he said that was more realistic and that makes it look like the railing will be obstructing, and then if you add in three rows of fans it worries me. I still did it to save the money, I juts hope that I don't end up selling most of them for face and then having to buy tickets to other games on ebay.

It's really not too bad and shouldn't take away from your enjoyment of being at the game... I sat in these sections when I had to buy individual seats to some of the home openers in past season... You always have the option of getting up and moving to open sections in the 400's, which there always are....
