That dope was one of the first to go with the legal scalpers instead of the ticket holders just selling for profit.

I wonder what kind of kickback the teams get for the stubhub deal.

A lot, if you would actually read and absorb the material.

In real simple terms, Jerry Jones does not care if we have homefield advantage to help the team win games.

He cares only about the bottom line.

He will not care until that becomes affected.

That is what happened when we became irrelevant back in the early part of 2002.

It made him hire Bill Parcells.

And that by his own words, was to get his mecca.

Well, he got it.

And we now see what good that did.

Yeah, the only shocking thing was that Redskins tickets were selling above face value.

How does Jerry have any control of who buys his tickets? How does he control the growing secondary market with places like Stub Hub?

Not sure how you want him to react, to be honest. Throw a temper tantrum on TV?

He's not correct. He called him a great owner. He's a terrible owner.

no temper tantrum needed. just make a comment that you dislike it when that happens.

The entire reason "America's team" is a great nickname is that it provokes emotion. It matters. Other teams wouldn't want it if it didn't.

Whoa... Slow down there. Players might think that way. Teams do not.

Who wants that ? Only a few players from teams I can recall ever. One Packer, one Steeler ? Who else ?

Teams have adopted to Blank nation as in Raiders Nation, etc.
The whole America's team has more stigma and pressure/results/expectations.

They tried, but I still got single game tickets from StubHub.

Apparently setting the prices so high has forced out some season ticket holders.

Here's a firsthand account from a season ticket holder.

Quote:

The real story is that when the tickets went on sale in 09 a lot of people were priced out of renewing there seats at the new stadium. They simply couldnt go from 57 to 99 like I did, or 125 to 350 with a huge psl which is what it costs between the 10's. That is most of the stadium.

So what happened is, now there were people not renewing and you were adding nearly 20,000 extra seats anyway....

so a ton of seats became available for sale to the public.

Quote:

what happened? Business guys bought blocks of tickets all over the stadium with the intent to sell for a profit. There are a number of seats in my section where there are visiting fans each week and they get them from stub hub or ebay all the time, if not the ticket exchange.

Quote:

So now you have a good portion of the seats being sold on the secondary market and the people who will pay the premium are the out of town or in town I guess fans of visiting teams. They dont mind paying 250 a seat for a 99 dollar ticket because its the only game they are going to.

Quote:

so, when the bears fans who just dropped 1500 bucks between them come to the stadium they are going to get there money's worth and be rowdy. When they get rowdy the cowboys fans start yelling over them to shut up etc...and then there is all this noise...

It was a big deal because the 75,000 or so Cowboy fans had nothing to cheer about. If the game was reversed I bet no one would have noticed or cared about how many Bears fans were there. I've been to RFK, the Meadowlands, the Vet and Foxboro for Cowboys games and at times it seemed as though the Cowboys fans were there in full force. Then the home team would score and it would sound like a bomb exploded.

I haven't been to the new Stadium, but it seems that the Cowboy fans may not ever be the loudest, but they can be the quietest.
