Season Ticket Waiting List?

[Rome]

So, IGY... what goes better with my balls - a nice smooth chardonnay or a bold zinfandel?

[Tomahawk]

I guess I'll be going after the Bears game...

I'll probably be trying to concurrently get those and take whichever ones I can

I'm thinking they'd go well with some farva beans and a nice bottle of Chianti.  thfpthfpthfpthfpthfpthfp

Wouldn't they BE the farva beans?

[Sgt PSN]

I guess they could be.  I dunno though.  I don't even know what a farva bean is.  Never seen one before. 

[Sgt PSN]

I googled it and learned 2 things:

This is what they look like:



And they're actually called Fava beans.  Not to be confused with Feva beans which is slang for herpes. 

[Phanatic]

does anyone know what the limits are for tomorrow's single game ticket sale?  i can't seem to find it.  last year it was 3 tickets for 2 games.  i actually ended up getting tix to 3 but they randomly deleted one of my orders b/c i exceeded the limit.

[MDS]

i just realized they are going on sale. who wants to get some and give them to me?

[Tomahawk]

If anybody hates two of their Dolphin tickets, I'll gladly buy them from you.

Of course, that is silly, but what about this:
1) No individual can hold the rights to more than 4 season tickets.
2) The season ticket holder is given a photo ID associated with their account
3) When entering the stadium, the STH has his ID scanned along with his ticket.
4) If a STH doesn't show up for at least 4 home games, he loses the rights to his tickets (exceptions considered on a case by case basis)

This would put tickets in the hands of fans, but of course would not stop scalping.  Why wouldn't the Eagles do this?  Because it screws over corporations and ticket brokers, who probably result  in more than 50% of ticket revenue. 

This has nothing to do with RazorGator or eBay - turnover of season tickets costs the Eagles money - it is called customer acquisition cost...you know, that waiting list you are asking them to maintain?   Why do you think PSLs are so popular?  Not only is it an immediate infusion of cash, but the Eagles get recurring revenue (I don't want to lose my PSL) and put the burden of resale on the customer (I don't want to waste the money I spent on my PSL).

If ticket auctioning is so profitable, why don't the Eagles (or anyone else in the NFL) do it themselves?  If tickets can sell for $200, why do they charge half that?  The reason is that season tickets are guaranteed revenue at a predictable level.  Tickets are priced to ensure renewals, which in the long term maximize profits.  So, again - before you get your panties in a bunch about a conspiracy, follow the money - why would Joe Banner give a cut to a middle man when he could make the profit himself?  The answer is, he wouldn't.

yeah ok President Bush i mean Hitler.
