The latter part is pretty universal at other football stadiums. Gotta tailgate and 'pre-game' with the beer, before you get inside and pay $12 a beer.
Yeah, I figured there were probably too many shareholders to fit in the stadium at once. That's not too surprising. Hmm... Discounted tickets would be a nice feature of the stock. Alas, as you said, they are mostly bragging rights.
The tickets are all sold to season ticket holders and there is a waiting list for the season tickets of about 200,000 people and something like 20 make it off the list and get a pair of tickets every year. So they are not going to do anything that messes with that. The tickets for all the games are sold and all paid for by April or May for the coming season every year. That's nothing to mess with
I take it that you don't get to see 'em in person very often then?
My 'local' team would be the New England Patriots. They have been a great team over the past decade or so, but they sucked prior to that. I did go see them back when I was in college. Tickets were dirt cheap 'cause they were pretty much last in the league - always and year after year.
I'm actually a 49ers fan. They kinda suck these days, but I'm not a fair weather fan.
So one of my friends sons friends decided to drive down the street i live at a hundred something and when the cops put the lights and sirens on he pulled into my driveway and ran inside my house and locked the doors. I was naked in bed with my woman. Smoking some substance that could get them to lock me up ridiculously.
I had season tickets with friends years ago so I been to many games. That all changed when i got divorced
