For him, prices have gotten too high. The Seahawks may think fans will buy whatever they are selling. One has to go back only 15 years to realize Seattle fans won't support a loser.

We renewed when Ken Behing was the owner and the team was 2-14. I think we can stomach only winning 10 games.

Tons of people are profiting off of their season tickets, putting all but a couple premier match-up tickets for sale every year because they can make so much money off of them. I regularly have to pay a 300% markup on 100-level tickets when I want to go to a game.Hawker8989":3u1q8im9 said:B) He can't sell them over face value.
Maybe the worst seats in the place don't sell for more than face value, I'm not sure because I don't look to buy those. Anybody know for sure? I've heard people say they make a profit off of selling their own nosebleed section tickets on occasion, though...

That's what I figured. The uncle is a moron, lol.Cedarmeter":1feawgl0 said:I have the worst seats at the Clink and I can sell half of the games for double the price I pay for them. The other half my markup is usually 50 to 60% I live in Canada (Calgary) so I only attend around three to four games a year. Last year I broke even. I didn't pay a dime for my season tickets. In fact I might have even made an extra 200.00
So because you have money and would probably sell his seats at ripoff prices he's a fairweather fan? Remember he doesn't have the amount of money you do to prove you're a "real" fan. In real life it really is all about the money. Stop thinking everyone is you or has the money you have. I sure wouldn't buy season tickets if the last two years are the new black. I don't have that kind of money to waste if I can get a better experience at home just like the OP. Problem is I'm pretty much convinced 10-6, win a hollow division title and get your butt kicked by actual contenders is the new black. Unlike New England which wins a hollow division title years running and STILL beats all comers the majority of the time for 16 years?xStickybudz":3370p767 said:If you don't wanna re new I have money in hand for you just will them over this way.
And to be quite frank if he isn't happy with a 10 win season and since we haven't won a title in 3 years. That is the absolute definition of fair weather fan.
I think you're under a serious misconception here. Ticket holders in down years are not simply people with so much disposable income that they don't care about "wasting" their money. If anything, the mean disposable income in the stadium is probably lower as prices are suppressed on the secondary market when the team is less successful. The fanatics who support the team through adversity are the reason why fair-weather fans have a team to root for in the first place when they see that things are going well.Josea16":3frpurb7 said:I sure wouldn't buy season tickets if the last two years are the new black.

We can't even dominate our division at this point, both the Cardinals and Rams beat us down by being better then us at what is supposed to be what defines the Seahawks and their core philosophy. The Cardinals and Rams. What's next? An average OC turned coach like little Shanahan? Check his playcalling out BEFORE he landed in Atlanta. Quite Bevell like even.
Just realize you belong in the 1% of Seahawk fans and enjoy. Don't belittle us that are in the 99%.
