It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. All right, Boomer and Geo coming to you live from the little Ford Tough studio on the fan end, CBS Sports Network. We're on Harbaugh. Watch any news. We will get to you as soon as possible, either on this show or Evan Tiki and Sean or the Carton Show with Chris McMoneagle. It'll be right on the air for you to react to. The latest is that Chris Mara had an in-person meeting and a lunch with John Harbaugh, so we'll keep an eye on that. Obviously, a lot of other teams. in the mix as well. And you had the Texans just beating the brakes off the Steelers last night, pulling away late 32-6. A couple of things, though, in the NFL I wanted to bring up that's a little bit off the beaten path or off the field.
And one of these is what the Seattle Seahawks are saying to season ticket holders that are putting their tickets up on the secondary market. Hmm. So they sent out a warning that said, we are seeing that you are reselling these tickets. And if you do resell these tickets, it could impact future sales to you of season tickets. Now, you would think... Just on the basis of this, when you hear that, you're like, well, wait a second. I bought these tickets. Now I could do whatever I want with these tickets. Isn't that the way the world works? However, the Seattle Seahawks had an agreement with every season ticket holder that they had to sign that said, if we see that you are reselling your tickets more than you are using your tickets, we have the right to not offer you tickets in the future.
And everybody had to sign that. Yeah, well, they're protecting their business. Yeah, right. But I mean, how do you... And I guess... I guess this is one way to control it, but if you are a season ticket holder who, let's say, sells two of your games, and that can pay for the rest of those games, and you go to six of the games, you don't go to two of them. All right, so let me ask you a question. I understand. I understand exactly what you're saying, because even Evan has talked about this, where he'll sell his tickets to Nick Games because he has those tickets at Nick's Games, and he basically... I think some of his MET tickets as well, and it helps him offset the cost, which I think as long as it's legal, it's a smart thing for you to do.
The thing that really bothers me about this whole situation about the secondary tickets is how many teams are holding back tickets and then releasing them on the secondary market. And then letting the market speak for itself. Oh, if that's going on. Oh, you got to believe that that's going on. You got to believe that's going on. And maybe I'm a little bit too cynical, but I believe that that's definitely happening. It has to be happening. Well, I mean, that would be bold, though. Let's say the Seahawks were holding back 5,000 individual tickets for every single game that they don't make available to season ticket holders, but they know that if they go on the secondary market and put them up there, I feel like the Cubs did something like this.
I feel like the Cubs got into bed or kicked somebody out and created their own secondary market. Yeah, I remember this was a couple years ago. But I guess there's a difference between if a broker, a ticket broker, is buying season tickets and just to sell every single one of them. Yeah, but they also – it's like a stock. It's like – it's the – Is the stock going up or is the stock going down? So when you bought your season tickets for the Seattle Seahawks at the beginning of the year or last year for this season, before they signed Sam Darnold and it was Geno Smith, maybe it was just the normal amount of money that you would – whatever. Maybe they had a 10% increase from the year before, right?
Yeah.
What controversy is surrounding Seahawks season tickets?
So now, all of a sudden, here they are with the number one seed and a very good opportunity to go to the Super Bowl. And hopefully they'll have two home games in the eyes of the season ticket holders. Sure. And if these tickets are going for five times or ten times face value...
