Skins sell ticket straight to scalpers

Are there any $29 admission fees at FedEx?

Because in the new stadium at Dallas you can get a "party pass" for 29 bucks. See the game, drink some brew for just under 30 dollars. Not too shabby.

the $29 ticket is brilliant on one hand, but we'll see how people act in standing room only. It may be an industry trend setter. Either way it was smart for JJ to come up w/that.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not dissing new cowboys stadium. In fact, I think its design & many of the unique features (not the jumbotron) will be copied throughout the league. It's just a matter of scale; once you have a stadium that big it changes the game experience & it also makes it more imperative that tickets are all sold.

JJ's business plan likely projects sell outs or close over the next x no. of years. If that doesn't happen, he'll have to find other sources of $ in ticket sales. He just financed 1.2 billion, they're going to have to make A LOT of financial decisions in the near future re: ticket prices & other services that will likely make the avg. fan unhappy. I think it's simply a fact of life for any team building a new stadium.

I'm having a hard time caring about any of this.

Damn..someone made the Wash Post angry. Real angry. I see both sides of the issue. A contract is a promise to pay. However, it could probably be handled a little better on the Skins side too. Let's face it, they should be trying to build up a little more goodwill than they have over the last 10 years. If there is $150,000 on the waiting list for "general admission" then they should just turn around and sell the cancel seasons tix. If it's corporated, then charge the customer cancelling until it gets resold. Goodwill and a good public image goes a long way. I'm sure the skins aren't the only ones doing it though.

All good points. It's also kind of buried though that suing is a last resort for the team.

Yea, i'm ready for some football now. PS game tonight and then it's almost game week.

I would not say that its "buried" It's pretty obvious. Suing is always a last resort.

I can see that view. Most people don't care about what other people go through unless it affects them personally.

Since you don't care about the organization raping some people in it's fan base, do you care that the people in the ticket office contributed to creating a home field disadvantage against the Steelers game last year? Because every fan should be pissed and embarassed that our offense had to use a silent snap count in our own stadium.
