I am going to the 9-25 game vs the panthers. I am going with 6 others and would also like lower level seats between the 30s. If I wait until they go on sale through ticketmaster, is there a good chance I can still get them, or should I go ahead and get them through retriever or stubhub.
Lower level between the 30's from Ticketmaster? No offense man, but that is hilarious, especially when asking for 6 together. Ticketmaster will not be offering lower level tickets to any games because those go to season ticket holders. Well, they may have solo seats spread out around the stadium for a few games, but that's it.
If stubhub or retriever have 6 together in the lower level between the 30's, and you can afford it, I recommend you get them now. Otherwise, it's going to be extremely difficult to find those kind of tickets. Some season ticket holders since the mid-70's can't even get seats like those.
As far as scalping being illegal -- it's not in every case. Especially from licensed brokers which retriever is. Florida does not allow scalping, but if you buy and sell Dolphins tickets outside of FL the FL law does not apply.
Ticketsnow.com is another site you may want to check. But, the best deals IMO can be found on ebay.com. There's also a "no scalping" Dolphins fan site that you can put a request on. I seriously doubt you find anyone there with 6 together in the lowers between the 30's, but you may get some offers for more realistic tickets.
