@GaryMarcus Why the 🤔?

[C8199 @chris_m8833]

@MisterGHF Buy season tickets folks! You get to buy the tickets at face value for the playoffs and aren’t subjected to paying the prices other people want for their tickets.

[C8199 @chris_m8833]

@McgillicuttyJr @EchoesInEterni1 @Miggysbat Why would it not matter? If you paid the Brewers $1,000 for a ticket and the guy next to you paid the Brewers $400, you wouldn’t call that out?

[C8199 @chris_m8833]

@McgillicuttyJr @EchoesInEterni1 @Miggysbat Not directly from the Brewers. Those are prices from ticket resell sites.

[C8199 @chris_m8833]

This is true and I get your point. However, 7 of those same 12 teams won all of the champions between 1984 when the cap was introduced and 2010.

My point was that a cap doesn't create parity and doesn't stop the owners from being cheap. The NBA has had to evolve far beyond a cap. They are constantly changing the structure of their agreement. They've introduced floors, hard caps, soft caps, max contracts, super-max contracts, and multiple apron levels nobody understands.

Even with all of that, the majority of the teams who have won are the teams in the top tier of spenders.

@hansplanda @WagnerToCutch What is it with people on social media? I answered a question and you come in and call me an idiot? Internet tough guy.

The NBA is the most top heavy. 12 franchises have won the championship in the last 40+ seasons since a cap was instituted.

[C8199 @chris_m8833]

@steelerfan890 @WagnerToCutch That’s true. I was just answering the part about the cap.

[C8199 @chris_m8833]

@EchoesInEterni1 @Miggysbat They got nose bleeds next to some guy who paid $400 for his ticket when they paid $1,000. I would be pissed too

[C8199 @chris_m8833]

@PiratesGirl915 @Brewers These are really cheap tickets. Where did you find this screenshot?

[C8199 @chris_m8833]

@BaseballBros People list crazy prices when they have time. As the game approaches they decline dramatically. Did so in the last 3 hours

[C8199 @chris_m8833]

@buylowse11hi @BucksBrewers03 @HeiserIi @kylecorwintakes Because those are fans who are buying success. When you buy success, you’re going to be competing against a much larger portion of the population for that success. Everybody loves a winner.

[C8199 @chris_m8833]

That's not true. If you buy the season ticket packages you are given the option to buy your playoff tickets at the much cheaper face value directly from the team.

If you are a "die hard" and wait to see if they make the playoffs first, then you are relegated to the secondary markets. At that point you are buying the team's success.

[C8199 @chris_m8833]

@BucksBrewers03 @HeiserIi @kylecorwintakes He said they were “there” watching. Not watching on TV which is what I think you are saying.

My point is that if fans aren’t going to buy directly from the team, then they can’t really complain about someone who does and then sells their tickets for a crazy price.

[C8199 @chris_m8833]

That wasn’t the statement by the OP. The statement was the die hards are there every game but priced out of the games that matter most. That’s not true. If you have season tickets you get the face value playoff pricing from the team.

The $5,000 tickets he references are from ticket brokers. Not from the teams directly. Those are the people online complaining. The people who are looking to buy after the playoff success. Those aren’t the die hards.

[C8199 @chris_m8833]

@nicole_mp4ever Go but wait until tomorrow or Friday to buy. People will drop their prices. When you are older you won't remember that $. You will remember that experience.

[C8199 @chris_m8833]

@ThisIsNotZain We fully expect that to be the norm. If he doesn’t throw for 1,000 yards and run for another 100, what’s the point of even starting him?

[C8199 @chris_m8833]

I think they know they aren't going to win many games with Jameis, so they are trying to see if JJ can do better. If he can't, they are in the same boat. They can still go back to Jameis and roll with two QBs who can't do much to affect the outcome of games the rest of the season.

[C8199 @chris_m8833]

@CurtMcGurty @ericobrien520 Yep, time for changes. Can't keep struggling to win games. Try different things at all positions.

[C8199 @chris_m8833]

Easy there, champ. I get it. I’m a Jameis fan too. When Dart went down my first thought was “We have the best backup QB in the NFL. We should be able to compete.” That didn’t turn out to be true though. He’s struggled.

I also said we may need a change back to him at some point this season, so I don’t know where you get me saying JJ is a savior
