What section is this that’s being eliminated?
Based on the comments in the tweet, it's the first couple of rounds of a couple of sections to put in Field Club Seating like in Dallas.

I’d rather they take a stab at doing everything they can to wrench every ounce of opportunity out of that stadium, as opposed to one day declaring it outdated and starting the whole circus over again. Some ideas are going to suck. Some won’t. It would be insane not to get creative on possible avenues. The casitas are probably a bust. Field level experiences won’t be.

There more seats you remove, the less season ticket holders can sell out to midwest teams for a few bucks.

That is an increase of $70 for seats that are going for $400 for resale and were $158 a piece from the Cardinals. They will be $228 a piece next season, still well under the resale value.

Also, worth nothing that the Cardinals went a few years without raising prices.

Average ticket price by year.

2012 - $68.00
Last major jump
2013 - $79.56
2014 - $82.15
2015 - $82.15
2016 - $87.86
2017 - Data missing
Drop in price
2018 - $83.54
2019 - $84.93
2020 - $84.93
2021 - $84.93
2022 - $91.34
2023 - $98.54 (NFL average was $121 and the Cardinals ranked 32 with average pricing and have the cheapest tickets)

I wish that would outlaw the resale of tickets for all events. It only drives up cost for the consumer and provides no useful benefit.

It's the only way some can afford them. I had season tickets right before I moved to Portland 13 years ago. I sold the Cowboys tickets and recouped about 75% of the cost for the season. It was the deal I made with my wife at the time and wouldn't had been able to buy them otherwise. @unseenaz has the right idea of more than a certain % of games. I'm not sure what the right number is though.

How would you guys feel if the Cardinals took away season tickets from people who sold more than 50% of the games?
Make a policy like that and season ticket sales will drop like a rock.

How about making the team good and fun to watch? The times that has happened Cardinals fans buy a lot more tickets and the stadium is a lot more red.

A home stadium which is solid color for the home team is not NFL reality. I don't care where it is. Look at all the Washington fans in Philly's stadium tonight. No NFL stadium is going to be like a college stadium.

since the ticket exchange is run by the team (Seat Geek) -- they have all the data on what tickets change hands, how many and for how much.

this data is what is driving the price increase -- the team is driving out the resellers by capturing as much of the diff between face and what those tickets were trading for

it sucks for people who dont sell their tix --

Put yourself in the role of sales manager in charge of ticket sales for the Cardinals and ask yourself if you would ever actually do this.

so, how long until the entire lower bowl is all specialty seating and all the peasants have to stay in the upper decks?

Apparently, no one gets excited for the Cardinals visiting Seattle. I paid pretty much face value for these, which wasn't bad.

Look for me on TV! I'll be the only one wearing a MHJ jersey! ;)

Just filled out a survey from the team that was sitting in my inbox. A few questions about reselling tickets were in it. Easy for me to fill out. LOL
