The individual ticket sales is going on all the time but now the team can make a profitt from the sale. I don't realy see how anything has changed. Now if they let individuals sell there season tickets season after season and they allow this to go on then I have a problem with this because they are in it only for profitt, thus their a scalper.

I don't have a problem with any of this. Tickets cost so damn much because there are tons of fans willing to pay that much. Simple supply and demand. If a season ticket holder wants to resell his tickets every year at a higher price, I say let him. As long as someone is willing to pay the price, it's a fair deal in my eyes.

If you want to attend games at face value, you can always:

1) Buy season tickets and go to the games.
2) Buy season tickets and sell the ones you don't want.
3) Try to rely on scrounging for the few tickets remaining and buy them at face value.

But if #3 doesn't work out for you, I have no sympathy. As far as I'm concerned, if you want seats, get your ass on the waiting list and get season tickets. Otherwise, pay the scalping premium and stop whining or watch the Skins on TV like I do.

I HATE ticket price complaints.
