I was not aware that stadiums oversold their seats. Tickets have seat numbers on them and when they’re gone, they’re gone. I don’t mind the overbooking policy because it results in cheaper fares. Given enough incentives, there will be people to take the deal and leave the flight. I would have loved them to offer me a couple grand to stay up in the Seattle area for another day over the weekend visiting my grand kids.
“I was not aware that stadiums oversold their seats”
That’s the point dude!!! No other business does this! No other business over sells something then tells customers who have already paid for that item “oh sorry we over sold this you will have to get up and leave so someone else can have it”. Does that make freaking sense?
You sell tickets for stadiums seats and if no one shows for that seat no one shows for that seat, the game still goes on.
You sell tickets for an airplane, if no one shows for that seat, so what? The plane still flies. So why do they sell the same seat 4 times? The stadium would never do this.
