there is no way to stop it. The tickets are selling for what people are willing to pay for them.

Actually not many. If most season ticket holders were reselling their tickets the price would go down, it is because very few people are the price is high.

In fact for the last few home Dolphins and Jets games you could buy scalped tickets for below face value, because many people were reselling.

Go back to eco 101 and study the supply-demand curve.

Of course it depends on the game. Miami and Jets lots of people trying to sell tickets, very few trying to buy -- price goes down.

Green bay and NE lost people trying to buy, very few trying to sell price goes up.

But you said many people were selling, that is false, few are selling, many are buying.

I thought I read that the Patriots organization actively was pursuing scalpers and taking away season ticket privileges from those that were caught. It was a few months ago, and the Patriots had won some kind of case where they had subpoenaed Ebay's Stubhub website. I hadn't heard of any recent news about that being here in Indy where scalping is not against the law. Are these people risking losing their season tickets?

Wouldn't some of those tickets be from the players?

Seems like alot of money can be made there for the lowest tier guys.

Well said. It's very simple, supply and demand.
