I want opinions on this one...
My Father-in-Law has tickets to the Phillies Home Opener that he won from a lottery
I talked to him over thr weekend and he said he's not going to the game and said he wants to sell the tickets, so I asked him if I can buy them and he said $100 a piece for tickets that are around $35 I think face value
He said he's putting them up on Stubhub for $150 a piece
I was a little surprised considering I am married to his daughter that he would try to make money off of me
I said they're your tickets and you can do what you want with them...but if they don't sell for what you want I'm not taking them for face value off you
Anyone have this ever happen with family ?

then he needs the money....
but selling tickets to a family member.....that were FREE ....
is fucked up in my book............
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
I'm sorry...he paid for the tickets like $80 for 2
He's trying to get at least $200 back
I don't begrudge the guy for trying to make money from a stranger...I thought if he knew I wanted them I would get them for face value
He has a 17 game plan also...so he can't be hurting too much for money

couldn't have said it better myself. that's pretty messed up. but they are his tickets and he can do/sell them for whatever he wants.
edit--just saw your next post. face value seems more than fair here.

give them to family....
thats my opinion...
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
yeh, sounds like bad form. ive had distant family try to pull random shit like that. wouldnt get involved. you told your wife?
I know..I'm not asking for free tickets
I think he's pissed because no one went in on his 17 game plan...which at the time I didn't have the money to put down for those tickets

"no thank you"
and leave it at that....
then i wouldnt mention those tickets....or any tickets to him ever again...
if my father in law tried to sell me tickets.....for a profit...
i wouldnt hold it against him.....
i just wouldnt ask him for any tickets ever again....period!!!
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
Yeah...she at first was on his side of course its her Dad
I told her he's being a dick and you can't justify trying to rip-off family
She sees my point and agrees...I dont want her to get involved its not that big of deal I was just surprised

I hear ya
I was just shocked...he's got his weird ways but this was a surprise
He's the type that only see's things his way most of the time..so I shouldn't be shocked

That's what I told my wife at dinner last night

anyways, Speedys right, dont get involved, and dont bring it up again. only thing worse than being subjected to that kind of stuff is to retort to it in anyway.

My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12
It's just that the circumstances are not usual so I can see why he wants to make some money on the tickets.

Then i say give the Dad-in-law the money....
and go to the fucking game....hehehehehehehehehehe
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
Yeah, the tickets never went on sale to the general public. You had to win a lottery to be able to buy tickets to the game. That game along with the Red Sox series are the hardest tickets to get this year for the Phillies.

It's one thing if you have like $100 tickets and you want to cover what you paid, but it's $80 for two tickets... just give them to your family members, or at the very most charge them face value.
was like a picture

― Abraham Lincoln
I know people that entered that lottery and would kill to go to that game.
Now they have to pay some jack ass scalper in order to do so.
That kind of shit pisses me off big time.
As far as your situation, he should sell them to you at face value. Apparently, his intent all along was to make a buck off of this.

Yeah...he must have entered for that purpose just to flip the tickets for more money
Needless to say if he has any games this year he can't make in his 17 game plan..I'm not taking them

Tickets weren't free he paid $80 for both...but maybe he needs the money
