this is disheartening regardless of the facts, but like others have said there's a need for better info before rushing to judgement. I work in local gov't so I'm quite used to hearing people complain about "the man" stifling them, but in my objective opinion 90% of the time the people haven't thoroughly researched the process & their responsibilities. But for that other 10% of the time, yes sometimes people get screwed due to incompetence, poor policy decisions, etc.
Plus, sometimes we just have to employ that tired old line, "business is business." And the skins is definitely big bidness!!
The real unfortunate aspect of this is that the story's sentiment is believable even if the facts aren't all there. The Danny has put together stadium seats & boxes and raised prices w/out much regard to the loyalty of old fans who've stuck w/them & bought tickets in the rough 90s. Not to mention the stories we've heard from players that leave town pissed. I just hope this guy is over reacting & that all aspects of the deal haven't been told.
PS. Is it really believable to think that the skins would sue a ticket holder at this juncture as he describes?
