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 didn't have the family part, but I was living in CA, then moved to Hawaii. So not only was money really tight while I was in college and trying to make it in the film industry, but there was NO way I could attend a game as I didn't have enough money to come watch them and more importantly, time. You work 12-15 hours a day, no vacations when you freelance. You miss a movie or TV show and you're fricked. Now I live in Hawaii and make good money. I come home for at least 3 games a year and sometimes 4-5.

Think about that for a second. You think the assholes like Munich Bengal who owns 10+ tickets and uses maybe a couple of them will continue to buy 10+ when they can't sell them anymore?
Or do you think it more likely the 60k+ people on the waiting list will actually re-up? The Saints fans who have been waiting 8+ years will continue to buy while the Saints possibly transition and have a down year or two (of course I hope we just find another Brees

It's not just about the Saints "sucking" and people didn't buy them before. Many Saints fans have come into their own in the last 8+ years and can now afford season tickets.
