AFC Divisional Golden Playoff Tickets
The fight over where Patriots season-ticket holders can sell their tickets is heating up now that the AFC Divisional Playoff is scheduled for January 12.
Jessica Fargen at the Herald is putting out the reminder that season-ticket holders can lose their privileges if they re-sell their tickets.
The Patriots argue that these practices make ticket prices too high for the average fan, but at the same time it seems that the Patriots don't want resellers like Stubhub.com getting in on the action.
If you want to get tickets through Ticketmaster, the presale for the AFC Divisional Playoff starts at 10:00 am on Thursday. If you are a season-ticket holder, you can resell your ticket at TeamExchange.
Your other options, even though Pats officials warn against it, are StubHub and AceTicket. The temptation will be too strong for people to try other outlets once the tickets are sold out. Craigslist is awash in tickets for sale. Some people with tickets should be admired for their creativity--one person is offering to trade tickets for a snowblower.

Small correction to your post. The 55,000 people on the waiting list (yours truly included) will have access to a limited amount of tickets starting Thursday. All other folks wishing to jump in on the action can do so Friday. Regardless, chances are slim.
To those season ticket holders trying to jack up the prices...please do so. I'd love for you to lose your tickets so someone like myself - who's been on the waiting list 6 years - can finally see the light of day.

The code for presale patriots tickets could work for some outside the circle of waiting list members... Why wasn't the code unique for each member?
