If so, how did they do it?

Pretty small %, which is sad. Nice responce from the team also (and I'm a Giant fan)

January 24, 2008 -- Ruby Baum has missed only eight home games in the 55 years he has been a Giants season-ticket holder, but the 76-year-old retiree says his beloved team has left him on the sidelines.

He will not be headed to Arizona on Feb. 3, because he lost the Super Bowl lottery - which is based on seniority - the same fate he suffered in 1986, 1990, and 2000.

"I guess I'll never see a Super Bowl," Baum told the Post.

Only half of the 12,000 tickets the Giants receive from the NFL are distributed to fans.

"Corporate types, who may not even be fans, get tickets, and my dad does not," said Baum's son, Shepherd, 29.

Baum may have two purple hearts, but the Korean War vet's blood runs blue. He started going to Giants games in the 1940s, and has had season tickets since 1952. Baum called the team and asked if anything could be done.

"They told me to go on Craigslist," Baum said.

Very sad story above. Especially when you see the prices some of these bums are asking. (Those ones that actually have tickets to begin with)

Pretty sad but I am sure it is the same with all teams. I lost out on the general public lottery 4 times. People who got those tickets are now selling them for $3000 or more. It is to bad that it is so hard, for people who want to go to the game, to get tickets at face value. Reading this story it is obvious the NFL doesn't care about the fans that helped build the NFL.
