How Brett Favre Made eBay $400,000 In 24 Hours (EBAY)

brett-favre-mouth-open1.jpgThe Brett Favre trade means this season just got a lot more interesting for Jets fans. And that means things just got a lot more interesting for StubHub, eBay's ticket-reselling unit. That's because StubHub collects a 25% commission on each transaction (10% from the buyer, 15% from the seller), and it suddenly has a lot of deep-pocketed New Yorkers with renewed interest in spending time at the Meadowlands. By our count, that means they've just pocketed something like $400,000 in the last day.

Per StubHub:

Average number of Jets tickets per day sold on StubHub last week: 36

Average number of transactions: 12

Number of Jets tickets sold in last 24 hours: 7,000+

Number of transactions: 2,422

Average price for Jets ticket yesterday: $138

Average price today: $252.83

Too rich for our bloggy blood. If we're going to watch Brett play in New York, it's going to be from the comfort of Kettle Of Fish.

I love Kettle of Fish (and any bar with dart boards)... you a pack-man, kafka? will they now be watching jets games in there on sundays?
Shhh! Don't tell anyone, but I'm a sports bigamist - I root for both the Pack and the Purple. No idea about the Kettle and the Jets. That'd be a good story for an enterprising young reporter. Anyone?

Wonder how much stub hub made off of Tampa Bay tickets purchased the morning that all the reports pointed to Favre going to Tampa. I spent $400 for 2 tix to the Green Bay/Tampa Bay game that morning.
