This is probably a good policy, but I am frustrated with this organization.
I still have a bitter taste at how the Seahawks fans, particularly season ticket holders, were slammed and became the scapegoat for the embarrassment that was the Green Bay game. Even the Seahawks threw the fans under the bus.
It is the Seahawks organization, and the NFL at large, that have promoted and profited from the resale marketplace. Selling season tickets to people and organizations that are primarily buying season tickets to profit off of resale have contributed largely to the increase in the price of season tickets.

Also, the noise was a direct factor of the play and got worse as the games went on. Unfortunately, there was way more for opposing fans to cheer for last year. They were so bad that I left at the end of the 3rd quarter for the Bills game. I generally stay to the end win or lose. But when the team didn’t bother to show up …
