I dunno -- he might be dumbest, but luckiest "business person" I have heard of.
No way he makes money on the pre season games (lucky to get 50% of face value). I am sure he made money on the Cowboy, Giant and Viking games. Maybe Buffalo. He lost money on Miami, SF, STL, SEA and Atlanta.
He will make money on this game -- but do you really count on making the NFC championship game?
Even with the NFC Champ game proceeds -- I doubt he broke even for the year.
There is a royal douche bag who owns about 12 seats right behind me in Section 111. And trust me he makes money. Up until this year there has ALWAYS been an opposing fan(s) sitting directly behind me.
I know he's from out of town as he was actually with a Kansas City contingent when they played here a few years ago. Boy I was letting them have it and he was upset that I was red assing them; he finally explained those were "his" seats...that's the only game I've ever seen the guy.
As far as making $$ even with Seattle, St. Louis, and San Fran down and out they end up right behind me so if the guy can get face value for the crappy games and double, triple, or even more (see Dallas) on other games he's cleaning up.
The silver lining here is that the opposing team confrontation part brings me back to my Sun Devil Stadium days. Against Atlanta I was somewhat disoriented when I didn't have an opposing fan to torment (hey I sit behind the Cardinals, you want to bring that out of town crap sit on the visitor's side).
