Like you, I carried extra tickets I didn’t need during the lean years.  I don’t any more, but there were many times where I couldn’t sell the extras which were in the 100s for anything but $20 or $30 to a scalper.  Ended up giving most away to friends that were somewhat interested in the Jags in the hopes of turning them into regular tailgaters and season ticket owners themselves.  That never worked.  They just wanted more free tickets.  Only winning creates excitement and fills the stadium, and here we are.

Exactly --  I lost $633 on my preseason tix this year and you are correct, when fans get used to getting free tix or tix at a discount, they are unwilling to even pay regular price (let alone a slight markup) to attend a game.  Jags fans got spoiled by the lack of demand on an abundant amount of supplies ..... UNTIL NOW, THAT IS !!!
