How dare you question the teams ticket sales practices Mrs. B. [/ sarcasm] I am one of those ex-season ticket holders this year.
As soon as Brady got hurt, there have been boatloads of tickets available on ticketmaster. Although people get offended, for whatever reason, when you even question the team on any ticket sales figures. I bought tix to the Dolphins game through ticketmaster. There were a lot of 100 level and 200 level seats available (not surprisingly since they are so overpriced now). I asked the simple question of if the game was a sellout and people got all defensive.
The team has been playing games with season ticket figures, Super Bowl ticket distribution, and ticketmaster ticket distribution for years. I'm still thinking the supposed 50,000 person waiting list figure is completely bogus. The scams they pull with the Super Bowl ticket lottery and their dealings with PrimeSport have been well documented. Yet they go on a witchhunt with StubHub. In past years, they would only release a very limited number of ticketmaster tickets before the games (usually scattered singles). Now anyone can easily buy four 100 level sideline seats to just about any game.
