Perhaps if you weren't so abrasive, your message would have a better chance of being heard.

Rationalizing with him could work.  Good point.

I'm too tired to be pithy like you.

With the advent of the internet, it's gotten easier to scalp & it's become more out in the open, it has not necessarily increased the numbers that significantly . There is probably some validity to your argument though regarding the crowds being different, as with the cost of the PSL's being prohibitive, fans with money who don't want to attend all the games have bought into season tickets when the previous owners couldn't afford them.

You explain to me, how do season ticket holders get from 10 to 20 seats together for the sole purpose of scalping them?  Is that a good thing to you?  Or should the Eagles be revoking them and giving them to people who would actually use them?

I already explained it to you. I gave you 2 first hand examples.  Ticket/travel agencies that owned blocks in the past, retained them once the Linc was built. Is that a good thing to me personally? Actually it may. Who ends up with these seats? Fans who either don't have the money for PSL's or aren't native & had the ability to get season tickets when they were easily available. Either way they go to people "who actually use them". Do I enjoy paying 2 to 3 times face value? farg no, I'd rather put that money to other uses, but if I want to see a game, I have the ability to get one at a cost I can agree upon.

If you had to take an Eagles fan test to buy tickets, some fans are still going to scalp them regardless of the internet or lack of agencies buying seats in bulk, which will increase the scalped price & reduce the availability to a different segment of the fan base. Either way some "real fans" lose.

What "proof" do you need that the eagles are getting a cut from RazorGator?  What other possible reason would they have to get involved with a scalping organization and steering their fans to use them to scalp their seats?  Do you think the eagles have a hard time finding companies that want to advertise with them?

This is not a covert conspiracy, it is in the open and very obvious to anyone with half a brain.  What proof do you have that they are not getting a cut and are simply doing it because they are desparate for advertising partners?

Advertising revenue? Like you, I think it's inappropriate for all of the NFL teams that I'm aware of, to have relationships with agencies like Stubhub, Razorgator, since it's contradicts their scalping policies. Being sponsor whores is what the NFL is about, like it or not, but it does not neccesitate the relationship that you are indicating exists. If you had real proof, this would be a break out story & you wouldn't be wasting your time posting your conspiracy theory here.

I'm not going to that game.  I'm waiting until the following week to see the Eagles take on a REAL team: the Titans.

Man, you put me in a bad spot. But I'd have to root for the sanitation engineer because he is an Eagles fan. Normally I'd root for an ass whuppin on his part.

But I think we could get a drunk chick to beat the piss outta The Mayor. He's a lightweight.
