I posted this on the buy/sell page but it looks Ike it got deleted?? Selling one mezz ticket for Six on Friday, 8pm in NY. Asking $90 (I can’t go lower).
Why are people so set on price? This I can’t go lower statement i don’t understand. When I had to sell Les Mis tickets I was happy to offer them for half price of what I paid. Why are more people not willing to do this when others could enjoy the show, rather than the seller losing the money and the ticket?
Forgive my ranting, but I just don’t understand why some sellers are so stingy with lowering the price from what they paid.

Some people can afford to go lower-some can’t. It’s really none of anyones business except the person selling the ticket :) Someone who can afford to pay the asking price will also be able to enjoy the show. It’s not a “go lower or someone won’t be able to enjoy the show” deal-that’s ridiculous.
The op is right...its none of your business. No one is entitled to a "deal" because someone's circumstances have changed.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Maybe because they want what they originally paid and invested in the ticket...? Also, echoing the none of your business sentiment.

Agreed it’s not my business, but I just hope the majority of these resold tickets get sold and can be used. I would hate for a seat to go empty because someone can’t lower a price.

**The price of which is none of your business, as you appear to understand now. I don’t want the seat to go empty which is why I’m asking here. Also, this is lower than what I paid, just FYI
