If/when you get free tickets to an event

Do you scalp em' for some extra gambling dough, or incur all the extra expense of actually going to the game?

unless a game that really interests me, I sell them. I used to go to every game I could when younger but not much anymore

I've been offered freetickets a few times and the deal was not to resell. Hlf the time I take them and go and the other half I pass and they give it to someone else.

I take all free tickets, no matter what the event...if i can't make the event, they go on ebay or stub hub....

I will always take free tickets.

I have received numerous freebies throughout the years because of my profession

If I can not attend the event I politefully decline thus in turn saving a trump card for another event down the road

Never would I scalp them...not only is a dick move IMO you would be blackballed for future consideration

They are giving the tickets to you because of some sort of relationship. Either you did something for them or can/will in the future. Maybe your company buys a lot of stuff from theirs. Maybe your the guy who makes the orders. What ever it is.

I don't think they care whether you go to the game or give them(sell them) to your cousin Billy.

Good to see some guys with a moral compass though.

LOL we got drunk before a game once, had extra tickets to my buddies company's luxury suite and sold them to a scalper on the way in. The guy never unloaded them because no one else ever showed up, but that would have been hilarious if they did. Guy prob would have been in tons of trouble
