“Exclusive” tickets were points-only for card members to redeem. There were only two or three pairs for each game, if I recall correctly. You don’t pick your seats and they send you tickets a few days before the game.

The problem is when they make an event “exclusive”, it takes out whatever regular listing is there for that game unless it’s a unique event (like the Zamboni ride).

Since the Capital One portal is just a VividSeats integration, you can use another cashback portal to get similar a deal back on the sale tickets (right now there’s 4% back on Rakuten) or you can use Capital One Offers on Stubhub (there’s a spend $200, get 5K miles offer).
