jdc1963 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 i was wondering how that is even allowed.....the team owner buys seats so the game does not get blacked out. does anyone have any hard info on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck277 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 haha, let him see how it feels to pay those high ticket prices he set himself. the irony of this would be cool.since he's the owner, can he sell the tickets to himself at lower than face value?

ignorant_icarus Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 since he's the owner, can he sell the tickets to himself at lower than face value?it's funnier to imagine him going to stubhub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self Made Soul Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 he can declare that the game is a sellout without having to purchase any tickets himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defensewinscliche Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 i've never heard of arthur buying his own tickets. what usually happens is that sponsors and other groups buy up large packages to prevent the blackout. not the owner of the team. the problem now is that i dont think sponsors would look at it as a good investment.

robbie the falcon Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 since he's the owner, can he sell the tickets to himself at lower than face value?they are cheaper through the scalpers outside lot b lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ticothaman Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 haha, let him see how it feels to pay those high ticket prices he set himself. the irony of this would be cool.there not even that expensive, 12 dollars is the going rate of some of them.remember they had to give away tickets to the midtown event this year. and what were they, 5 dollars?

Sniper Wolf Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 he could probably "win" them in some fake seat giveaway contest.not if he doesn't want the nfl front office breathing down his neck. somebody has to eat the cost of those tickets.

mr_big_pants Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 thank you. i thought that was wrong.....i can recall (back in '03), hearing some talking heads on the radio saying that arthur bought the seats to prevent a blackout. now sponsors doing it.... that makes way more sense.i know in '02 home depot bought out quite a few seats and i think it was the first time vick played carolina in the dome because we still wore the 98 black uni's.i remember because of the plays vick made as well as there being some home depot thing in every seat and i think they even announced it.i'm also not sure if you get additional corporate backing for the falcons after the pr nightmare we went through.correction... that we are still going through. technically vick is still on the roster and still part of this team...yep, i could see corporate america staying the heck away from the falcons...

southga08 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 i've never heard of arthur buying his own tickets. what usually happens is that sponsors and other groups buy up large packages to prevent the blackout. not the owner of the team. the problem now is that i dont think sponsors would look at it as a good investment.jerry jones used to buy up any unsold tickets before the game and give them away to like the boys and girls club and various children organizations like that.
