NFL should pay attention to this verdict

[Wozzy]

So stop enjoying your life in order to fight a monopoly?

Let them eat cake.

It’s us… we’re eating the cake.

Shut off the money spigot, organize and stop going, convince others not to go… vote with your wallet. That’s the only way to effect great change.

So because Ticketmaster is the sole provider of official NFL game tickets, you're advocating that we all give up our season tickets and that every single fan on the waiting list also stays away and then... what? The Patriots go bankrupt? Woopee! We beat Ticketmaster!

Except the NFL is one of many entertainment events that solely use Ticketmaster. There's no way to avoid them.

While I detest Ticketmaster's price gouging fees, I am not willing to give up my season tickets as some sort of way to get back at Ticketmaster.

Okay then, just don’t buy those Taylor Swift tickets instead.

That's what I meant to the response of your text.

The league really has to have control of it's ticket sales, and Ticketmaster for all the issues, (which have pretty much gone away in the last year. My experience has been all fees are included in the quoted price) is reliable for everyone.

Yes the public always gets screwed somewhat. Let us eat cake. But we might benefit from the current monopoly arrangement with regards to tickets. It was always a shaddy business.

Ticketmaster is really a partnership with the teams. That's fair.
