How to Get Playoff Tickets at Face Value

Whether its Major League Baseball, the NFL, NBA or NHL, playoff tickets sell out quickly, with many being resold by scalpers, ticket brokers or websites like eBay and StubHub. Many ticket holders, however, get tickets to such events for face value. These fans get to see the teams that they root for and care about, without the potentially high costs of the secondary market.
