NFL Football Week 16 – The Great Ticket Monopoly

“Tickets!! Get your tickets!!   The NFL has expanded it’s interest in the ticketing business by asking it’s existing partner in primary ticket sales to handle the ticket resale business as well.   Starting with the 2008 football season, the company called Ticketmaster‘ will be the NFL’s official ticket resale service, which would be used by sports fans who have previously bought tickets to an NFL game (or games) but now want to sell them to other fans.   According to Eric Grubman, executive VP of the NFL, “…fans demand more creative opportunities to experience our games.

Where the focus of the game once lay squarely on a teams ability to run the football today’s fans are enthralled by the pass instead. Surrounded by bruising offensive linemen and protected in a soft cottony web of regulations and penalties designed to keep them safe and sound, the new generation of quarterbacks are truly an elite breed.
