The new ticket resale policy is working!

[seabowl]

I know many season ticket holders probably don’t like that they are restricted on who they can resell their tickets to, but the last two games at home have shown that the policy is absolutely working. Almost the entire crowd is Seahawk fans and the stadium hasn’t been this loud in at least a decade. Love it!

Love it!!!
And love seeing all the Seahawks blue and green in the crowd.
It's the way it's supposed to be!!!

So glad our Seahawks did that!

To be fair, playoff games have always sold well to the home team fans.

I got a kick out of this on pregame show yesterday. (Link also posted on thread Les Radish forum also)

I hear you, but there was plenty of tickets for sale and the Seahawks put the hammer down as far as who was allowed to purchase them.

I don't think that has nothing to do with the threatening emails sent by the Seahawks. What kind of fool would sell their Championship game tickets? Certainly not season ticket holders, other than the RESELLERS. If you looked at reseller sites, there were rows of 8 or more seats being sold...by resellers or by the Seahawks. There was no stipulation on who bought the seats. Seriously - how many of you have 8 seats next to each other? (zero).

The resellers are the Seahawks bread and butter, and they are who allow the Seahawks to raise their prices every season. Sure they send out threatening emails, and sure, some people take their ticket ads down and either go to the game or sell their tickets to friends. But the resellers remain, and they rake in the dough. And does anyone here really believe the Seahawks will take away the resellers' season ticket privileges? I sure don't.

If the Seahawks really wanted to end ticket holders from selling to apposing fan they would go back to hard copies. But Vulcan wants the add on fees.

I'm sure they would love it if no one sold their tickets to anyone other than a Seahawks fan, and since they can't guarantee who buys the tickets, they are going to threaten season ticket holders, or offer incentives to not sell them. If the threats or incentives work, then great. But if they don't, will they actually revoke privileges? No. Because if they revoke Joe Fan who has two seats and sells tickets for half the games, then they've got to do the same for Joe Reseller who has 8 or 10 or ??? seats and sells ALL of them. And that ain't happening, because it means giving up big bucks. Watch. If the resellers lose their ticket rights, it will make the news, and we can discuss. I don't think they are losing any sleep worrying about this.

You know what's funny? I had my volume down when this came up on my screen and I just took 2 random pictures of the screen and posted them with the fetty/copium joke.

Season ticket holder since 1999. Several times I couldn’t attend the games….generally around the holidays. I put up the message on a community bulletin board saying such and always got a response. I knew whether or not they were Seahawk fans before I sold them.

Today its all electronic. Ticketmaster charges service fees to they buyer AND the seller…typically 14% on both sides.

Go back to hard copies…problem solved

I remember how red the stadium was at the first game. Disgusting. And packer fans chanting “Go Pack!” Disgusting.
