Edit: Thanks for all the feedback!🙏 The mix of approval and disapproval was of course to be expected in a soccer related topic 🌊

(Do we see that with the $TSLA (-4.58%) Giga Beer also?😄)


The comment from @Zackdela79 has stuck with me especially - so now I will keep two tickets after all and attend the game with my best friend. Will I still be dependent on the few hundred euros in a few years? You don't take money with you to the grave - but memories do ✨ And in addition to so much work, you should also treat yourself to something 🚀 Thank you for that! 💪


It was exciting to share the experience with you. After all, there is a lot in this decision that I encounter in my daily investment decisions - personal price-performance structure, opportunities, willingness to spend and consumer behavior, limits, personal views, etc. 🧠

Today one from the "Haters gonna hate" category 🤬


Yesterday I got the happy news that I'm one of the chosen few who could get hold of 4 tickets for the DFB Pokal final between Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig via the DFB's raffle - ticket price 160€ pT 💰


Already at the ticket request I had set my imaginary limit order to 1200€. If I can sell the tickets above that, they will be sold and I will take at least 500€ profit. Below that I'd rather make a nice day in Berlin at the final with 3 good friends - all Eintracht fans 🦅


Now came on $EBAY (+0.18%) the first price proposals come in, which are far above my limit price. Tickets are currently traded at around 500€ pT. Thus I will sell the tickets, because even as a member of Eintracht no sporting event in the world is worth so much money to me. Of course my friends can understand it and my girlfriend won't kill me. Especially since I'm just out of college and still earn well below 4K net 🧳


How would you have decided? The great day with your friends or taking the money with you? What would be the influencing factors of your decision?


... "real" football fans will of course demonize me for this decision 🌚

Just think about what will be the best memory in 10 or 20 years: making 1,000 euros selling tickets or an unforgettable day with three friends and possibly the cup victory of my favorite team. And then do that. I would know what I'm doing - but I also love life 😉

I don't know what to say to that. I know a lot of people who don't even earn 2k net a month and you're just whining here that you earn well under 4K and then want to make a profit from such a great experience. Do you know how many fans want to be in the cup final with your team once in a lifetime? That you quasi like-minded Eintracht fans "pull off", the whole then for me still the crown on.

"Especially since I'm just out of university and I earn well below 4K net" Where does this belief come from that you get 4K net with studies? 😅 Since you need over 6,6k€ gross with tax class 1. What are 1000€ today vs. a presumably once-in-a-lifetime experience? Especially since I think as little of the ticket resellers as I do of the scalpers at Playstation and Co....

So I do not know right now what I find more strange. Your behavior, or that you post something like that even in a forum 🤔

If interested in an event and if the personal price-performance ratio fits -> buy tickets (and go) No interest in an event or the personal price-performance ratio does not fit -> do not buy tickets That tickets are considered as an investment and already at the time of purchase is considered to possibly sell them again, goes against the grain. Sorry, I really lack the access to and then also the understanding for such thinking & acting...

I'd knock those things off, too. Squeeze as much profit out of the cards as possible. 👍👍

So this is what it looks like when our society is morally and humanly neglected.... Have only ever heard of it. Until now. Interesting!

So let's say: selling is legitimate - but then you are not a real Eintracht fan, because a real fan would not have sold the tickets for 10k each - 100%.
