Ticketmaster is a big ripoff so this is a sweet move

"Ticketmaster has a standing deal to sell tickets for NFL teams, but the Cowboys and Saints are taking their business elsewhere.

The Cowboys have recently opted out of the Ticketmaster deal and agreed to a deal to have SeatGeek serve as the team’s main ticket seller, Darren Rovell of ESPN reports. That report was portrayed in some circles as another sign of an ongoing feud between Jerry Jones and Roger Goodell, but the Saints previously made a similar deal with SeatGeek.

The other 30 NFL teams will be with Ticketmaster in 2018 after the Lions, who had previously opted out, returned to Ticketmaster this year.

Tickets are a lucrative business for the Cowboys, who led the NFL with a total home attendance of 741,775 last season, tops in the NFL by more than 100,000. AT&T Stadium is by far the biggest stadium in the NFL."

Goodell is so going to fine us a draft pick for this.

SeatGeek is hands down the best vendor. Great move.

I am surprised that he doesn’t get shipments of gummi dicks on a daily basis from Saints fans.

So does this mean we won't be able to sell tickets on ticket exchange?

I hope not that was so easy.

I can still sell and transfer but ticket exchange did all that for you and you lost very little with fees.

I'm sure (I hope) that they will just incorporate it into the Saints website like they had done with TM. You didn't even really have to go to TMs website to put them up for sale.
