[QUOTE="PackCrazed4, post: 535331, member: 421"] This is another oddity that has been brought to light by the situation. You, as well as many others, have expressed a desire for management to "reshuffle" the season ticket holders since there are over 100,000 people on the waiting list and apparently countless others who would like a shot at going to games. Yet for the first time in decades, Packers tickets are being sold ON THE MARKET at face value, and no one is grabbing them. I find it astonishing that, supposedly, so many people would do anything to go to a game, and yet that prime opportunity isn't being capitalized on as we speak. Season ticket holders blindly commit to paying hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars every year to maintain their seats. Playoff tickets are a separate matter entirely, and are usually funded in a no-risk situation: if we're in, awesome, check is cashed if I receive tickets; if we're out or I'm not picked, no big deal, money is refunded and I'm no worse for the wear. As I've emphasized in my last few posts, the organization tried to take advantage of the fans for their loyalty by cashing checks with zero guarantee of a playoff berth and saw a backlash, and quite frankly, I'm glad it happened. For an organization that has been funded time and again by its fans, put out pleas for shareholding purchases to reconstruct the stadium, lobbied the Green Bay residents for an increased sales tax in Brown County... if the team really needed some extra dough, why not just be upfront with us? Explain in the playoff invoice that they need additional revenue for investment in the new facilities, or whatever they want to say, I guarantee playoff tickets sell out, and then some. I have huge pride in this team for the simple reason that they are a owned (technically) by the people and have enjoyed a symbiotic relationship with their loyal followers from both a football and business standpoint. This year, they decided to be underhanded, and look what happened. It's a good kick in the pants, and I hope they take notice of what deception will do to your reputation and bottom line in the future. [/QUOTE]
