I'm not against a max ticket limit...how many people own that many tickets though? scalpers suck


Dude, there are so many people who own tons of tickets. I have a friend who I bitch out that has like 16 tickets and he sells most of them. He's a huge Saints fan though. But it still makes me wonder how they don't see other huge Saints fans are getting screwed by them.

I know not everyone will get them. Hell I never will 42,000 away , but at least make some sort of limit. Let the fans own tickets. That's all I'm saying.

You have to see it from the organizations view. They tried to let fans get tickets. The fans didn't buy them because the Saints sucked. So after Katrina, scalpers and businesses bought the tickets up. It became lucrative on e they started winning. The team gets even more money when they are sold on the ticket exchange. They don't want to loose what they have been making. This is why current season ticket holders get first shot at available tickets. The Saints know that once the suck again, it will be hard to sell out the games like before. While the saints may try to cut back on some scalpers, they really don't care about it.

i see it the other way. They make their initial face value + the team gets the 10% from resale. or at least a part of it. I would think they want everyseat on the resale market for the extra money
