TheGodInAGreyHoodie are you a little slow, if you knew anything about the subject you would also know that it also depends on the game you idiot. Miami.. Jets.. . Hahha wow
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.
its supply and demandi'm telling you guys its the only way to stop this ticket price maddness, its getting out of control

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?
They should go after the season ticket holders that sold their tickets...but buyers?? That doesn't make sense.
Would that mean that a season ticket holder that bought tickets for his family should be punished?? Or, anybody that ever bought tickets would never be allowed to become a STH??
Buyers never knew there was anything wrong with buying from Stub Hub - hell, they advertise on radio & TV and guarantee the buyer safety. How would a buyer even know, or care, where they got their tickets?? For all most buyers know, they thought they came directly from the Patriots - people have no clue, they are not detectives. They bought tickets to a game, no criminal act there.
Go after the sellers, leave the buyers alone - or at least come out and warn them before taking action.

Jayhawk - At the time of this post, there are only 26 ticket options on Ebay for tickets to the Pats/Jags game. By comparison, when I tried to go to the Pats/Cowboys game, there were some 250 different sellers. The avg. ticket price on ebay for that game was well over $400.
So, I would fully expect that the ticket prices for the Pats/Jags play-off game to be at least that, if not MORE. Especially with such low supply and HIGH demand.
as long as there is demand (and stubhub), there will be scalping... let's say 10,000 STH's lose their tix... who do you think gets them? 90% of them will be the same scalpers, who have their mother, son, cousin, etc, already on the list.The report was that season ticket holders that were selling their tickets were in danger of losing their tickets. I googled and found this news report, but was wondering if the issue has been brought back up, as it seems that scalping is still occurring.
