This logic is entirely true, if the Dolphins' 1-15 season is what caused the economy to tank, thereby affecting ticket sales.
1-15 ----> Economy Struggles ---> Ticket Sales Down

I suspect you could cut the middleman out of that equation, though.
1-15 -------------------> Ticket Sales Down

Those handy flow charts should help Wayne.

Is there a waiting list for Season's tickets at all?

Maybe this will free up some of the desireable seats. Heck, if I lived in Miami I'd buy season's tickets.

What do they cost, anyways? Along the home sideline?

I guess the whole " we sucked out loud last year " theory I had can be thrown out the window.

I couldn't afford the gas to go even if I had tickets.
Haven't been able to go to any of the Minor league baseball games in Columbus this year because of the gas. It's 30 miles from me. We can get in and have a good time for about $20, but none of us can afford the darn gas. :cry:

Didnt ticket prices go up this offseason as well? I thought I heard that, though I have no real idea as Im not a floridian thus have no use for season tix.

Hoping to go the Texans game again, even though we always seem to lose a tough one to them, grrr.

Then Huizenga must have gotten his biz degree at the Culpepper School of Economics.

When the product's quality turns to crap, increase the asking price.

Very smart.

Maybe ticket sales are down because we had a 1 - 15 season last year but who knows what ever helps Wayne Huizenga sleep at night I guess
