[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1058981, member: 7261"] I LOVE this idea! The people getting really rich off of Packer tickets aren't necessarily the season ticket holders, but the resellers. Ticket resale at above face value (used to be known as "scalping") should be discouraged. Forcing season ticket holders to resell them at face value (or a bit above to cover sale costs) on a Packer ticket resell site would keep the stadium filled with mostly Packer fans. My buddy has season tickets and I can't remember which site it is, but there is only one site that he resells his tickets on, and that site is somehow "affiliated" with the Packers. I say "affiliated", because they guarantee him that he won't lose his season tickets if the person who purchases them gets thrown out of the stadium. 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. [/QUOTE]
