The Critic Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 ...their court case about their in-house scalping service, that is. Once again, the sCrUBS win at the only thing they can win at - ripping off their customers! Unbelievable to me that a judge could find it legal for a sports team to own a scalping agency, outfit that agency with a direct printer from their ticketing computer, have the agency buy over a million bucks' worth of tickets when the agency's books showed a total of 1,000 bucks to its name, and sell first-sale tickets ( that is to say, tickets NO ONE ELSE had an opportunity to purchase, since they were direct-printed ) at whatever price they chose. But she did find it legal, so look for JR to set up an agency. Note to JR - there has to be a MARKET for those tickets if you want to hike the price!!

Thank god we don't have a huge fan base or you know that JR would try this samething. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 If JR would take a more "fan freindly" approach to his way of doing things, this could be a good opportunity to turn the tide back to the Sox and away from Cubs being the baseball darlings of the city. There are a lot of pissed of Cub fans right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of pissed of Cub fans right now. It really doesn't matter IMO. It is just like the Simpsons episode where Bart is on the Ritalin type drug and MLB is spying on everybody. Mark McGwire comes in and starts hitting homers and everyone forgets about it. And Cubs fans will return to Wrigley just like the scammed lemmings that they are.

Texsox Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Cub fans will adopt it as a badge of honor. You'll here things like we are TRUE fans because the team screws us and we are still loyal. Dumb asses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
