While I respect your opinion, Moose, I disagree.
I think the fact that they’re being offered to Utah fans first is enough of a concession.
One could always just go to StubHub and rape people for them… Utah and opposing fans alike.
At least this way he’s trying to make sure his seat is taken by a Utah fan.
EDIT:
This was in response to Moose’s strongly stated opinion that people shouldn’t get as much for tickets as they can, or as much as the market would bear.
I do not and never will agree with that line of thinking.
There is risk associated with buying the season tickets in the first place. There is no guarantee of being able to sell tickets when needed at a price where money can be recouped. And if people (including Utah fans) are willing to pay that much for them, who is anyone to stand in the way?
Things come up. Sometimes emergencies happen and you can’t attend a game. Why lose out on the money when there’s someone to pay the asking price, simply because those that don’t have think it’s unfair that you get to recoup costs or (gasp!) even make a little bit of profit on it?
That’s just silly. Outright silly. It’s that kind of “social pressure” that exists on that other board that makes it such a drag to be active on. If you don’t subscribe to the groupthink, you’re shot down at every opportunity. And that’s just wrong. But I digress.
We live in a capitalistic society. If you have supply, and there’s demand, sell it at the price you can.
And if you choose to only sell it to a Utah fan, then that’s enough sacrifice on principle for me, because that may mean you don’t get top dollar.
If you disagree with that… by extension, if don’t like free markets, move to China.
Good hell.
