re: Saints ticket question

I'm a season ticket holder since 1998, but used to buy outside the Dome from little old ladies and families for really cheap even back to the early 1990's. Now, I'll have a 6 or more black guys asking me if I have extra ticket to sell as I walk to the Dome. Then there are another 4 or so who ask if I need tickets as I get closer to the Dome. What are they doing? Is it as simple as getting me to sell low and then they resell higher or is something else going on?

they have a good system. Further out they have guys looking for tickets. Then they have guys ob bikes who bring the cheaply bought tickets closer to the game to sell them.

Not trying to be racist, but don't buy from shabbily dressed black dudes outside the stadium. Now usually there tickets are legit, but I know some people sell their tickets to these guys, and then have print out tickets, making their original tickets useless, thinking they are just screwing over the scalpers, and not thinking about the person who is the scalpee.

But their system works great for them. Signs with "I need tickets" guys riding back and forth all day. They never drop their prices either.
I don't personally buy extra tickets, but occasionally we have someone come with our group who needs tix.
