People still buy season tickets?

Oh, sure. Seahawks season tickets run from $2200 to $4400 a pop. Playoffs extra. And at the moment all you can do is put your name in a line to wait for if they become available. Money spigot.

Every seat in the old Giants Stadium was assigned to a season ticket holder, and the New York Giants used to have a decades-long waiting list for season tickets. People would put their names on the waiting list in the hope that their grandchildren might someday get to the top of the list.

With the new stadium that came to an end. The introduction of ridiculously expensive seat licenses chased away every season ticket holder I knew. Even those who could afford to pay for tickets and seat licenses under the new arrangement realized how stupid it was to shell out that kind of money to watch NFL games.

Today, you can go onto the Giants website and buy individual game tickets. This would have been unheard of 20 years ago.
