Does Capers intentionally try not to win Preseason Games?

[infantrycak]

The problem here is that the market is not dictating the price.

The market has determined already that the price they charge is supported otherwise the games wouldn't be sold out. See, I think the problem here is having a price printed on season tickets. This debate wouldn't exist if all they told you was 1 season ticket for all home games is $X--you wouldn't know if you were getting the pre-season tickets for free or at the same price.

Now if you want to get me on a rant about individual pricing try talking about individually priced options on cars that you can't purchase individually--ex. on Nissan Titan pickups you can only purchase the $750 sun roof if you purchase the $2000 DVD player.

Herv, did you take that baby's picture after the Browns game last year?

The games are not sold out because the market has supported it at the price charged imo, the games are sold out because there is enough demand for regular season tickets that people accept the preseason package so they can get the regular season package. The only way to know if you are right or I am right is to stop forcing folks to buy preseason games in order to purchase season tickets. If they did that, and the games still sold out at thier current price, I would be wrong. Even in that event, I just feel it is fundamentally wrong to make people buy one inferior product in order to qualify for the better product. Give people a choice. Some folks may opt to purchase the exhibition games along with regular games. That's fine. Others may opt not to. Last time I looked you can ask for 32 thousand different combinations of Whataburgers, but can only get one combination of season tickets? What is this, communist China!

a good compromise might be to purchase the season tickets and sell the preseason ones.
I don't really agree with your posts on this matter, but I will admit that you would most likely have a difficult time getting the price printed on the preseason tickets...

Oh, geez. Get off the soapbox.

That does sound a bit high and mighty doesn't it. Hehehehe.

I feel the same way about Drayton McClain and his refusal to allow outside drinks or food into his stadium. Talk about anti competitve...don't get me started....don't even get me started. :brickwall

It could be worse...
At the Irvine Spectrum Center (Orange County's version of the The Woodlands Pavillion) a Corona costs $12 and a Domestic Beer cost $10.
