That was a terrible day!
The monopoly is what they are aiming for on the secondary market. Them and the heroes who do the will call thing at the gate (or credit card, for No Saint) will scalp their own tickets behind the anonymity of TicketExchange - and also get all the cuts from other sellers forced to buy their tickets there.
i hope he has follow up articles in 3 years. Mr. Myopia.
I was wondering this - Would Eichel have been the top pick every year since Crosby?
Who would have been the pick between Crosby and McDavid?
Exactly. And, somebody mentioned isn't this like concert acts who do will call or whatever to get in...........Yeah, those same concert acts who then have been caught scalping their own tickets on stubhub, etc. LOL - what a joke.
See - I said it was thought provoking!
Thanks for the pushback on his article. I was wondering what the counter to it is. I really don't know my downtown that well.
Donn Esmonde is anti-stadium, especially downtown. He's made some good calls about downtown over the years, so this is thought provoking:

Scalping is definitely not a crime in NYS. Not sure about Arizona.
I think everybody got refunded. Most of them got 200% back.
We better win the sth lottery. The only year we won was 1988. We got the letter the day after the Bills lost to the Bengals. Talk about salt in the wounds!

And, unbelievably, Schopp actually is defending the call. And, of course, calling it a card game, which is what he wants to turn football into.
I said this as a joke last night, and yet I see some people here are actually talking about the execution.
The only thing that might be stupider than the call are Bevill and Caroll's explanations for it. They don't even make sense.
Agreed
I can hear my father the whole time I was growing up - "Quarterback sneak! Quarterback sneak!"...............When the Bills listened to him, it worked!
It seemed like it was used a lot during the 70s, etc.............I have no idea why it's not anymore, except by the Patriots!
Harrington again proves he doesn't get it. Who cares who is laughing now? He says it doesn't have to be this bad - really, it seems me that it does - it's not like we have a cushion here. I really hate this guy!:
