    As for the earlier mention of Spring Training, HELL YEAH! I have an annual trip with a group of friends we've been doing since 1991. We leave in a few weeks for a game in Vegas, and then a week in the Phoenix area.
    I hope your friends that buy your tickets are Chargers fans.
    I remember the people who used to sit right in front of me would sell their Raiders-Chargers tickets to Raiders fans every year. One year, one of the Raiders fans got so drunk, he did a face plant into the seats in front of him.
    The whole rest of the game, I couldn't get "Deep Thoughts" by Jack Handy out of my head.
    - My first instinct was to laugh, but then I thought, what if I was an ant, and that Raiders fan fell on me. Then it wouldn't seem quite so funny.

      For the most part I am pretty picky who I sell to. I like the people who sit around me, so I don't want to saddle them with assholes. I have a lot of friends who like different teams, and they all get a talk from me before I sell them my seats. Occasionally though I can't go and none of my friends want them, so I have to sell to whoever.

        guess you've never tried to sell Charger tix before have you? I've had good seats for good games and offered them here @ face value with NO takers on more than 1 occasion. Stub Hub and Ebay are overflowing with tix for every game. CL has multiple listings and a ton of flakes that contact you desperate for your tix- then buy elsewhere if you don't respond in the 5min window they were looking at your ad. I had 4 tix for the season ender last year against KC and was lucky to get 2 guys to buy 2 each for face value. They DID in fact meet me wearing Chargers gear which was a relief- but I don't give a shit who hands me the cash anymore with how hard it is to off these things anymore.

            My post that you responded to wasn't a personal attack on anybody selling their tickets. It was a memory I thought was funny and apparently nobody else thought was funny.
            Unfortunately you were a victim of the NFL's unspoken policy of taking every dollar out of the economy that they can.
            Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
            Let’s win one for Mack.

                    Morals? If that bugs you, do you go to any other professional sporting events, buy any music/attend concerts, go to the movies/rent movies or watch TV?

                        Are you going to sell this information to Google?
                        if you are going to concerts, then you are getting raped by Ticketmaster for so-called "convenience fees" that are way worse than anything the NFL scams us with- except PSLs.
