Dolphins Fans Getting Hosed (1 Viewer)

[GroveDiesel]

Wow. Dolphins' season ticket holders are being prevented from re-selling their tickets to the game in London. That's pretty crappy that they have to pay for the ticket in the first place. But the NFL is requiring them to show up, in person, with photo ID the week of the game to pick up their ticket in London.

Nope - just being told they can't scalp them. They don't have to buy the tickets in the first place.

I thought this was going to be a thread about the Dolphins management...

How many people does that amount to be? 3? 5 at the most?

This is how it worked for our BCS Championship tickets this year as well.

Are you saying they don't have to buy this individual game as part of their season tickets or are you just saying they don't have to buy season tickets?

Oh please, at least 12 NFL teams have made it so that when the Steelers are visiting, if you want a ticket you have to buy another ticket for that home team against whatever is the crappiest game on that years schedule for that team. This is totaly an attempt to keep Steeler fans away and avoid yet another stadium takeover. They go so far as to make advertisments begging fans not to sell their tickets to the Steeler faithful.



But they can't sop us. Don't let them stop you. Find a way. Good luck.

Dolphins season-ticket holders who buy tickets must pick them up in person with photo ID in London the week of the game. They may buy the same number of tickets they have for other home games, but it is capped at 16.

Sounds like season ticket holders will have the option to buy or not buy for this game.

this is nothing new. Fish fans have been getting hosed since Marino retired.

The Steelers are not the only team, nor were the first I think. The Tampa Bay Bucs did it first to fight Packer fans from taking over a stadium, though another team may have done it first.The Chargers do it for Raiders game. I am sure there are other teams that do this. I think the Vikings have something like this in place too.

 

[There it is]

How about the NFL is hosing all Nfl fans because this is not a Giant's home game. They (Giants) owe us an extra away game, after they got that sham Away game against New Orleans at their home. 9 home games in 1 season NY Giants you owe the NFL fans a 7 home game season.

This game should be the Giants- New Orlean Saints w/ the Giants as the home team.

Never said they were the only team. But it happens to us several times every year. And it is far and away more prevalent vs the Steelers.
