do you think those tix would somehow be unavailable if people like you weren't involved? Well, the barrier would become getting there first instead of just having to pay more money. If scalpers were eliminated and reselling for profit in all forms were eliminated, the tickets would still get bought up immediately in the case of any high demand games. They'd be insanely hard to get. This is obvious given what people pay scalpers/brokers. So if you don't get there first (which is going to be really hard to do...we've all tried to buy tickets before - yeah, there would be fewer scalpers in the way and more supply, but the demand is so overwhelming that it'll still be insanely hard to get them), you don't get to have them. Whether this is any more/less "fair" than "you get to have them if you pay more money on the secondary market" is debatable, I guess. Like Cubs playoff tickets would be insanely hard to get, scalpers or no scalpers. At face value they will sell out immediately. But with a secondary market, you can pay more and get to have them. This is without even getting into how unrealistic this would be when it comes to STH. If you never got to re-sell and had to use or give away every single ticket, the amount of people capable and willing to buy them would be cut drastically. EDIT - OR the Cubs could just cut out the secondary market altogether and just charge what the market dictates. Either way, the tickets aren't going to be easy to come by when the demand is what it is. One way just requires being the lucky few who are fortunate enough to buy them first, and the other one requires being fortunate enough to be able to afford what the market is willing to pay. no. There are normal human beings that sell tix and there are scalpers like this guy that thinks he's providing a service to society playing Julia assange

Really? I'm not saying they are innocent. I'm saying the police didn't press charges. I'm sure the students feel like it's case closed and that their teammates are getting expelled for nothing. I don't think boycotting the game solves much They dropped the protest as soon as the facts started to come out. It was a stupid protest by stupid people for a stupid cause.

I have a question: Have you ever purchased a ticket off the secondary market before? Did you think it was a bad thing that there were tickets available for you to buy that you didn't have access to before? do you think those tix would somehow be unavailable if people like you weren't involved?

The players for protesting or the administration for expelling players who didn't have charges pressed against them? Really?

Gophers are dumb

WHAT ABOUT HER EMAILS?????!!!!!!!??????

This sounds kinda BFIB-ish... This is the most analytical group of fans I know and the response to Maddon making some bad calls that luckily didn't blow up in his face is saying "who cares?". That makes ME the meatball fan? in a 180 game season a manager will make some bad decisions. I'm not going to whine about it a month after winning the World Series.

Earlier when? This is your first post... earlier in the rambling ass post

strong first post. also, yeah, the Cubs are the one with the product to sell so it's totally okay for the them to profit off the product they sell rather than the leaches that leach off the product they sell.

Its equal parts amusing and terrifying to me. It is like a name that only some "coastal elitist" writer who has never been to the deep south would come up with for their over-the-top redneck character. But nope, its a real person. isn't it pretty much the same name as the mass reproducing reality tv guy with the pedo-son?

word on the street is that Arians might leave Arizona. I like my theoretical next bears head coaches like my theoretical next presidential candidate, not old. arians is well into his 60s, even older than Fox, who is probably not going to be on anybody's radar anytime soon.

I believe it was last page when David said, wait a minute... davell and david talking apologies but there is also the ever present little slide rooter quote in my signature

But why? What is the point of making that statement? What will that accomplish?

what would brett know about the Bears front office?

he rose up into his head

no, no it isn't. Dusty made stupid decisions repeatedly, in every series in every season, in nearly every game. His entire thought process was flawed garbage. Maddon gets it, and gets it done. He does things the right way much more than most. He did something stupid in that moment but the Cubs won and it should not and will not define him. There is no good [expletive] reason why he should be out there apologizing for anything.

It's almost as if they don't trust their weak ass offense to get the job done on its own.

the plan was to ride chapman hard in the playoffs and let him walk. They implemented that plan and won the world series. he totally screwed the pooch in the moment but it does not matter and there's no point rehashing it now. it's time to talk 2017 baby

what is the point of the manager acknowledging he screwed up in a world series win? i would just prefer he give a normal honest answer like a cool human being would is there something wrong with that? a normal honest answer is to not admit you fucked up in the world series win

what is the point of the manager acknowledging he screwed up in a world series win?

double nope make it a triple Then get behind the wheel andy wants me dead?

Nope. double nope make it a triple
