Do you think that they''ll ever sell half game tickets to games. With all the rising ticket costs and more and more rich non fans going to games I think half tickets are in order. It opens new revenue streams for teams and please real fans. When some rich loser leaves the game early that seat becomes available for half ticket purchase. Then a real fan can stick around and watch the end of the game. Its a flawed system right now but with some more input halfstub.com will be a goldmine.

want to buy their half eaten pretzel also
no one will go to a game, not watch it, then watch the last 4 or 5 inning or 3rd or 4th quarter
there would have to be some holding area, where you would have standing room seats for the beginning of the game for a small charge. The they start offering seat upgrades after the snob leaves the game early, then you can get a seat
this can also work for tickets for season tix owners who dont show up, after the 5th Inning (Half Time), you can sell those also

A lot of stadiums are filled close to capacity in the four majors.
So there's no point.
The way to help people out is to make a discounted family section where you have to buy four at a time. I think the Flyers do something like a 4 for $44 or 4 for $48 or something during their season.
You could do that for baseball, hockey, and basketball.
Football is unfortunately being priced out for normal fans completely, between season tickets and PSLs costs, and I don't see that ever being fixed.

I already do this, I don't like the idea of paying for the right to seat jump.

Football is probably the most price conducive sport there is right now. The only problem is (in Philadelphia at least) that the tickets are hard to find because of season ticket holders etc.. (which you have already stated) Baseball is still the best deal, and (as you probably know) if you buy general admission tickets in CBP, you still have great site lines for a cheap price. I'd much rather buy a general admission ticket before a ticket in the upper decks because either way, the best place to view a game is down low, watching from the bar tables they have set up around the lower level of the stadium.

What would you pay more for? the top half of the dead hooker or the bottom half of the dead hooker?
Obviously the bottom half. One more fuckable hole. And what's a dead mouth good for?
Same goes for sporting events. If given the option people would only buy the bottom half of the inning, not the top, cuz that's where the excitement is.

i totally disagree! the best place to watch a baseball game is up high where you can see the whole field and get some perspective on the game.
as for half-game tickets, i wouldn't buy one, but with the way professional sports teams try to suck up every last dollar they can possibly get, it wouldn't surprise me if they did something like that.

Whatever. You'd have to be INSANE to fuck just the top half of a dead hooker.
