See it however you want to, but you don't need to go to those lengths for the first round of the playoffs when teams are making serious bank every single playoff home game to begin with anyway (with a modest playoff bump).
When you see this it's a stark reminder of how this is purely a business. At times I tend to waver in the whole building debate, but this just says it all an reinforces my stance that the city needs to keep putting the screws to this team if they want any public money.

I dunno man, I'd rather have the money going to the team than to dirtbag scalpers or rando's on the secondary market. At the end of the day we're fans of the team, if I spend money to support the team I'd rather have that money go to, you know, the team. It's tempting to wish for them to sell tickets low, but just thinking realistically if they sell them too much lower than what the market would bear on the secondary ticket space then a bunch of those tickets get snapped up by scalpers and that price spread all goes into Bronco guy's pocket. No thanks
