Cowboys Try To Avoid Blackout, Ticket Holders Fume

[NorthDalal]

Hey Winicki, I'm in Marketing too.....as in Syracuse University B.S. in Marketing from the School of Management now Dallas Texas... now up in your part of the country Friday for the Northwestern beat down. Having said all that.....consider all the facts before siding with these whiners.....

The PSL holders bought an option for forty years to sit in those seats.They're paying for the right to do so for 40 years and even sell the PSLs after 20 at a big profit. This is what happened with my City of Irving Municipal Stadium(Texas Stadium) bonds and it'll happen with Cowboys stadium too.

If people would prefer to buy by the game they have the right to. And if they do they run the risk of being in standing room or sitting at home in 2011 when the Cowboys face the Eagles or Skins or Giants for the NFC East title.

Everyone has the right to buy at the market price under the terms as stated at the time of purchase. There are no guarantees in life either way.

Having given up my season tickets. I happen to have walked up to the Emmit Smith record breaker game and gotten in for $20.00 to sit at the 30. We've also been turned awauy from the stadium on a thanksgiving after trying to walk up.

It's a market folks...complete with winners and losers and differing outcomes long term and short.

The "messiah" hasn't gotten his hands on this one----yet.

From Archer's blog at the DMN




It seems the release of 1,200 tickets on Monday by the Cowboys for this weekend's game against the Giants has some worried that the contest will not be on television.
Relax, it is on TV. And there could be small amounts of tickets made available during other games this year that will not affect the blackout rules, according to the Cowboys.
By the way, a few hundred tickets remain of the 1,200. So if you want to go to the game, buy them up. If you don't, then don't worry. You can tune into Channel 5 and be OK.

"I don't quite understand why there's tickets available without the PSL's if they are good seats. But I guess with the price they couldn't sell them all," Tom said.

"I know [Jerry Jones] wants to sell out the stadium so everybody can see it at home and I think that's great," explained Sandra. "But it is unfortunate for those of us who bought PSL's to be there, and now there's going to be people offered just the tickets themselves."

Whoah, there Tom, Sandra. All that fuming and somebody's going to blow an o-ring.

 

[Quarterback Coach]

There are only 80k seats, yet they are expecting 100,000 and still not calling it a sellout.

Jerry would NEVER allow it to be known that the stadium didn't sell out on opening night.

Be great if he couldn't though...

You are completely missing the point. Those people who paid the 10k PSL had no idea that the same seats next to him or her were reserved and would open up later to any Joe who doesn't have to pay the PSL.

Seems a bit wrong in my book and that would make me grumble.

I have a whole bunch of other things I could spend my 10k on other than designated seats.

Its whining?

It's freakin 10,000 $

But the people who are sitting in those seats are not guaranteed those seats next time, right?

oh my... just shut up, you *****.

"oh noooo, the poor people are going to be next to me and my Herb.... "

*facepalm*

Speaking of *facepalm*

Is that really what you got out of the article?

It was obvious the whole point was the season ticketholder's had to buy PSL's for 10K while virtually the same seats as theirs are now going to be available at ticket price only.

It also states in the article that they're not being offered at face value. They're being offered at a higher price.

I was a season ticket holder of the Broncos for about 5 years (mostly for business reasons) but there were and always are people sitting right next to you that dont have season tickets. The purpose of season tickets is to ensure you have the same seats and are guaranteed to go to every game. Thats it.

To think otherwise is just dumb in my opinion. If they reserve 30,000 seats for Season tickets holders, and only 20,000 people buy season tickets that season, what else are they suppose to do with the other 10,000 seats? Obviously they are going to sell them on a per game basis.

 

[Don Corleone]

Todd Archer confirmed this afternoon that it already is a sell out and that jerry told him there is no chance of a blackout.

:laugh2: ...and Jerry Jones is the symbol of honesty!

Looks like I'll have to prepare for my trip to Waco if I have too.

Ah. Common sense. I love you common sense.

As mentioned, the concern isn't that, a few days before the first game ever played in the stadium that they don't sell out until Wednesday, but that when game 14 rolls around that we get local blackouts in the DFW area, because they have priced themselves such they can't possibly fill it week in and out. If the Cowboys go .500 this year, there just might be a blackout come the last home game.

Yeah, this is definately the real issue.
