For those who don't know it, a season ticket holder can lose their tickets if they do something at a game, which is against the Packer policy of fan conduct.Anyway.  If they limit the market where those tickets can be bought, as well as the price they can be sold at, then those people who just buy season tickets to resell them, will mostly likely just give them up. The 2 seats to our (my buddies tickets) left have ALWAYS been different people for every game.  We came to find out that the lady who owns them lives in Chicago and makes a small fortune reselling them.</blockquote>
