Why in the hell would the Cardinals do this? Are they making a cut from the sales there? For numerous games there are ticket prices BELOW face value for games that the Cardinals are going to be selling. Can they really be that stupid?

"Starting with the 2008 season, Stubhub will become the official online provider of secondary tickets for Major League Baseball". Since the website is run by mlb, the Cardinals don't have any say in what links are on it.

That sure won't be helping ticket sales.

The Bears do it. They are cashing in on the secondary market. It sucks. I hope it blows up in their faces.

The Bulls actually have their own. It's like the Prime Seat Club, but instead of forcing people to sell at face value you can sell for whatever you want.

With the availability of tickets this year its sure to blow up in their faces. I guess when it comes to premium seats it it'll be cheaper to go to the Cards site itself (in some cases) but for a regular game during the week I've seen tickets on stubhub for a couple bucks a piece.

For Bulls games, if you wait until the morning of the game you can get tickets for $5. There is an office right down the street, so you can order them that morning and just swing by and pick them up, or so I have been told.

Is there an office near the stadium where you could do something similiar?

Nothing does my heart more good than seeing a block of 20 contiguous seats to a Bulls game, face value $100, being on the market for $50 or less on gameday.

Yep, I believe they have it over in the lobby of the Hilton right across the street from the stadium (if not there its in one of the hotels close to the park)
