re: Season tickets: What's your wait list #?

The ticket exchange through ticketmaster is done by the NFL. So any tickets resold on there goes to the NFL. It is then distributed to the teams.
Once the brokers can't make a profit, more will become available. If it stays bad for a few years, the bandwagon fans will give theirs up also. Any team that has multiple losing seasons in a row, pretty much isn't selling out to season ticket holders. I don't want the saints to suck just to find out how many real fans stop going. I understand it is frustrating for you, but the saints really don't care. They only see the dollar signs right now. Brokers and businesses helped them when they sucked. Now those brokers are reaping the benefits. In the New Orleans area, I have 4 in my family(one is too young), 5 brothers, 1 sister, all but one is married, and their kids. This comes to about 20 people. I have double digit tickets. I want more and will buy more in or around my section if available. Not all people with 10+tickets are scalpers.

That's the truth. This comes down to the Saints and I don't think it would really be that difficult to limit a household amount of tickets.

Fair enough. There should be a reasonable amount, I was just using 10 as an example. My mom was #8 of 17, so I know all about big families!
Look, I'm so low on the totem pole, I don't expect a call for years. But as others on here have shown, they've been on the list since before 2006 and are in the 4 digit numbers. They're Saints fans. They'll buy season tickets and I bet keep them forever. If the Saints suck (won't happen
), they won't bail. They'll remember it took them 8+ years to get these seats. Scalpers will bail. This post was edited on 5/16/14 at 2:46 pm
