I had season tickets, and, 41+ games a year is a HUGE time commitment. Add on to that the $11,000 price tag for the season, with food and beer, it's another $200 a night... I'm an artist, money at times is scarce. To pay for them, I sold them to whomever I wanted. And usually below face value. I sold tickets to a Canucks fans, Leafs fans, etc. And I didn't care one bit. I slept great at night.

Tell you what, when my enjoyment of Flames games is negatively impacted by large numbers of people choosing to sell their tickets (whether for individually rational, financially-driven ticket subsidization purposes or just because they can make a quick buck from economic refugees from other parts of the country), I think it is my business. I recognize there's nothing I can do about it (except maybe sell my tickets and make it worse for those Flames fans who stick it out). I happen to think we need to consider the (hopefully) unintended consequences of our actions and I don't think "I paid for it" is an absolute trump card.
If my use of the term of art "clown" in my original post got some people's knickers in a twist, consider me suitably chastened and I'll try to do better next time.
