Best plan for tickets?

[VaSteelerFan]

I don't like to admit this, but I've never been to a Steeler game. Started a family young, and the 2 ticket maximum always left me at the mercy of the secondary market and high markups so I never really seriously looked. Kids really want to go this year pretty bad, so hence this post.

Few questions...
Where can I find the face value to compare to asking price?
What's a typical fair markup?
Best time to buy?
Best value sections?
Options besides ticket exchange?

Basically anything helpful you can contribute. I would need 5 tickets.

Hmm. 5 is rough. But I am your man for tickets. I can get you a hook up most likely for the best price. What game were you going to pick? Would a set of 3 and 2 be something you'd consider?

Just bought 4 for the Oct.28 game vs. Cleveland sec.108 using Stubhub.

They were pricey.

I've used brokers before in the past but recently I've found online options much more convenient.
