I've looked at Ticketmaster, and there are a huge amount of unsold tickets for the Tampa game.   Why can't the Jaguars let the prices of unsold tickets float up and down with supply and demand?  Club seats are still going for about 400 bucks.  There's no way they can sell those tickets at that price.  But the franchise apparently won't let the tickets go for less than face value.  So they have thousands and thousands of empty seats.  That stadium is going to look very empty on Sunday.  They need to let the free market set the price of the unsold tickets.

The sort of people who buy club seats would rather have the rest around them empty than filled with the sort of people that can't pay $400 a seat. Or maybe it's just about league rules regarding ticket pricing and revenue sharing.

League rules and revenue sharing are the issues.

That's fine, but they don't make any money on an unsold ticket.  It seems like the league would wise up and let teams float their ticket prices to maximize the total sales.  More revenue to share.   

I used to buy season tickets in the club seats.  I don't any more because I am out of town so often.  But you used to be able to walk up to the stadium on game day and there would be a thriving free market outside the stadium.  I could get a club seat for $100 real easy.  And that meant there was another person inside the stadium supporting the team, and buying the concessions.  

If the team wants to eliminate the free market outside the stadium, exercising total control through Ticketmaster, then they should let the free market operate through Ticketmaster and float the price of the tickets.  Free markets operate to maximize revenue.  Let the free market work!  The current product is way overpriced!

Here's an idea- split up the unsold tickets equally among the team ticket agents.  Have a competition to see which one can bring in the most total revenue.  Let each of them set the price of the tickets they control.  Give a bonus to whichever one brings in the most total revenue.

whatever......here on out I doubt there will any demand for tickets

They can't or they de-value the overall market not to mention dis-incentive season ticket holders. That means they'd have to drop ticket prices further and it becomes a vicious cycle. Demand is driven (at least in this market but there are others) by the success of the franchise on the field.

Re-sale tickets on ticketmaster *can* be had for more or less than the face value of the tickets.

I'm condescending. That means I talk down to you.

How would you feel as a season ticket holder to find out the overweight guy in the seat next to you, who decided not to wear deodorant to a September game, only paid $15 due to low demand?

I would feel like I root for the wrong team.

The only thing they could do is to do what baseball does and have variable pricing.

Ticket demand constitutes who you root for? You sound diehard.

Imagine paying $200 per game for a season ticket and every game there is someone next to you who got their ticket for $50. Even if you're the kind of fan to whom buying season tickets was a top priority, you'd still be pissed.

or......


The team could just build a winner that people want to pay to watch.

The pendulum swings both ways. If the team were winning and tickets were in high demand, the season ticket holder would be the winner.

That's essentially how seats on an airplane work, though. People deal with it.

 Pissed is an Understatement. I have that feeling every game. Every Game. It would be less expensive to purchase an ticket per game vs. being an season ticket holder. The team would suffer the consequences though.

Hey, I was pissed paying $200 per seat in section 105 seeing people from the nosebleed sections sneak down into my section and occupy the empty seats. Why in the world would anyone, in this low demand market, pay the face value for tickets when you can pay a scalper $10 for a ticket in the upper bowl, and then sneak down to one of the thousands of empty seats in the lower bowl?

The real question is why would you pay at all?
