Anti-Cowboy Ticket Plan

NICKinDALLAS · July 22nd, 2008, 12:56 PM

The cards are requiring ppl who want to buy tickets to the game vs the Cowboys to also buy the preseason game against the saints. They claim that they want "protect the nest".

What I don't understand is if they don't sell the tickets to the Cowboy fans, then who's gonna go to the game?!?!

I didnt think the league would allow something like this.

I would think they could get away with a two game package and offer only a very small amount of single game tickets to keep it legit.

The pre-season games should be free. Make up for them however you see fit. Increase the other tickets marginally to cover the two games, whatever, but the games that don't count and we are watching 3rd string jobbers that won't make the team should be free.

People are going to have to stop paying full regular season prices for those pre season games first.Everybody bitches and moans about it,but they still open up their wallets.

i don't think so Rusty. I think that alot of the attendance for those games are the season ticket holders that were forced to buy them.

Thats exactly right. If 30 people buy tickets to a pre-season game, there will be a change... whether it be a huge discount or free tickets. They would need to get people there and at least get concession sales or something.

I only go to preseason games if I care about both teams, the games are always boring by the third quarter anyway.

Rusty27 · July 22nd, 2008, 02:18 PM

Average reular season attendance only slightly higher at 67,755

not here in Charlotte, the only time I have seen a preseason game full was when the Steelers come to town (not being biased, its the truth)
