Selling Playoff Tickets--A Proposal

Why?

First, the home-field advantage is real. A high number of visiting-team fans can reduce, even if only by a tad, the chances of the home team winning. It is the reason that Denver and Seattle have made efforts to restrict the sale of tickets to those living in only certain states.

Second, sitting in a section that has a high number of numerous fans of the visiting team can detract from the game-day experience of a Saints fan. I would not want to sit in certain plaza sections behind the visiting team's bench.

Third, a business controls the four tickets to my right. I have offered money to buy two of the four tickets. Often the tickets are available on the secondary-ticket market websites for a large profit--and they are for sale at three times face value now. I understand that at times tickets will be sold. But there is a line that, if crossed, turns the season-ticket holder into a ticket broker.

Incidentally, in addition to Denver and Seattle restricting the sale of playoff tickets to those living in certain states, Denver and Miami have denied the right to buy season tickets to those who have sold an inordinate number of tickets in the secondary-ticket market. Google it.
