re: Why do so many people get, then sell, their season tickets?

Depending where your seats are you will make money on every game. Certain prices are too expensive at face value or too crappy of a seat to make people pay. But for some areas (endzone) people still pay premiums on StubHub. The few good games alone tend to fetch enough to make it worth you while to keep tickets in your name.

Pay for 7 home games, sell Bama and one other good game. The rest are almost paid for basically. Not to mention you get away game requests that make money and when we get a good bowl it pays off too.
