tickets on stubhub doesn't mean the game is not sold out. It could be that ticket holders are going to go to the game but are willing to give up their seat for the right price, or that a lot of tickets got bought up by scalpers, etc...

Good for you. IMO the Falcons are one of the most exciting teams to watch, I wouldn't hesitate to get season tix if I lived there. The transient argument is valid. I'd venture to guess a good portion of the upwardly mobile income earning people that could afford expensive season tickets aren't from Atlanta........therefore don't feel any sort of allegiance to Atlanta teams. awww don't be all butt hurt making stuff up cause like we are the worst fans in the world. gator field to seminoles field have problems with just getting college students to go to games. the marlins stadium is a joke. tampa bay stadium has been blacked out over and over again, they were even blacked out when they went to the superbowl......yet we are the worst fans to you. LOL silly gator fan. and man how did you let a ranked 21 Louisville beat you? not only beat you but embaraced you. man you and auburn put shame to the SEC. wish we could have traded you for texas A&M and mizz....but no no no, we have to suffer every year. so yeah anyhow what were you saying about Georgia?

Wow, I thought I was giving the Falcon fan a compliment. Guess not. Guess you saw my avatar and blacked out or something without reading what I actually wrote. I live here, I grew up here and I hate Tim Tebow, thus my avatar.........and that kids is the story of Christmas.

This happens with lots of playoff games. Redskins fans probably bought a bunch of tickets and then realized it wouldn't pan out.  Also, Fibonacci, you're really giving us a bit of a bad name over here. Just saying.

We don't have that problem because A) nobody just "drives down to Seattle" to take in a game (it's like hella far from everything except Canada) and B) if Seattle has a home playoff game, the place is going to be filled with Seahawks fans.

Ah you can't use freakin StubHub as a barometer for how many tickets are available.. unfortunately these days ticket scalpers/dealers scoop up giant lots of tickets and then stick it to the consumer. Happens with EVERY major sporting event in the country now.. it's not Falcon fans fault.

Eventually, yes, the majority of the people buying these tickets are fans of the home team.. but Seahawk games have just as many scalped seats available for any given Sunday as the Falcons. When I went to the MNF game, we bought our tickets off Stubhub.. and there were plenty available, you just had to pay 2-3x more than face value for them.

"Hmm, should I go support my team? Or make $50 a ticket on StubHub?"
