“One of the things we have to do as a team is we have to give our fans reason to cheer,” Garrett said.

JG is a smart man..

So if 25,000 Cardinals fans show up, we have a problem.

Arizona has 25,000 fans??

A true Cowboys fan wouldn't sell their ticket to an opponent's fans. Sell it to a Cowboy fan. Sure some will get fooled now and then, but as a guiding principle I think that would change a lot. Find another way to make that extra buck.

Their stadium looks full on tv & red all the way around. This year anyway.

I suspect the tickets were already sold before the Cowboys recent success so we will see more opposing fans, but if we keep winning maybe less people will sell their tickets going forward.

I don't know if people r selling a lot of tickets. Maybe just not buying as many. There r always tickets on stub hub and other sites for opposing fans to buy.

That's true of any sporting event though.

Here I thought I was going to read some thing brilliant.

You're probably right. The Internet is quite the equalizer when it comes to buying tickets. Remember the days when we had to stand in line or rely on snail mail to get a ticket to any event? Things sure have changed.

Yes. I've camped out overnight for concert tickets


Now u have about 1 minute to buy tickets for hot events before they sell out.

Or u have to buy presale.

I've been saying it all year long. Win consistently at home and the problem will start to erode. It will never go away but if you create an situation where the fans can go to games and see the Cowboys win it will make a big difference. Unfortunately our team has lost games important to fans consistently the last few years and that takes a toll. I know I'm tired of spending my money to see them lose.

Success always helps but reality is supply and demand.
A Dallasite fan of a team like New Orleans that gets to see their team once every 2 or 3 years is going to put a higher value on a ticket than a Cowboys fan seeing one of 8 home games in all likelihood.

A huge percentage of tickets go through the secondary market, be it stub hub or whatever other reseller.
There are 15% or so that are simply professional resellers.
People selling tickets are looking for the highest price not the team affiliation.

Houston fans paid ~150 for 40 dollar standing room only admittance. That's kinda crazy to be honest.
The fact you can even resell that standing part pass area is kinda wild.

Dallas fans have no problems attending games in other cities and being quite vocal.
Again because those fans that get to see the team so infrequently can splurge for that week and when they do they are more likely to go crazy.

If the modern ticket market is going to operate this way then you will continue to see this.
If they wanted to stop this they could easily.

Mark Cuban IIRC refused to sell playoff tickets to people outside the Dallas/FTW zip codes.

JG is a smart man..

He may even be better in another profession....

Very smart guy.

 

[jobberone]

Seemed the old stadium had its share of polite fans. I wish for the new stadium to have more....just a lot louder.

 

[WPBCowboysFan]

JG is a smart man..

While true, figuring that out is well below his paygrade. I mean, some CZ posters get that.

Few years? Try over a good decade. It's been wearing on fans.

no offense but this is largely insipid whining.
Dallas has been over 500 the past decade.
They've been below .500 only once.
They've won 3 NFC East titles.
and they've been 500 in the nicest stadium in the country.

that is a whiny cop out imho.

Cowboys fans are by and large an entitled lot.
they grew up winning and have no idea how to handle the reality of the parity era.

If Dallas had spent 3-5 years in a san fran like dumpster fire this might have merit but it has been all the way back to dave campo last time they were truly a bad team.

Since Romo entered as starter we've never finished below .500 in a season except the one year he was injured 10 games.

You can also silent the other team by not selling tickets to others and making sure each ticketholder half a valid ID with homestead and domicile in Texas.

Naw . . . .

Oh, Jason is correct. By playing better we can silent them. duh!
