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
Really? So if someone throws a ticket on Ticket Exchange, the Saints get more % out of that? I don't know how many people scalp them on TE vs Stub Hub or eBay or in person, but that's something I didn't know. shite, I wouldn't care the Saints called me and said you have to pay a 10% "rookie fee" to buy the season tickets. I would do it. I just think Saints fans should be owning Saints season tickets.

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.
