no, when i went to the niners seahawks game in 07 mnf, when we got to qwest field at the gates where they scan the ticket bar code, they asked if we had already been seated and left the stadium? of coarse we said no and they said that our tickets were invalid because someone else has the exact same tickets so we had to buy new tickets at the gates in the nosebleed section

f**k stub hub

That sucks. But to be honest, the people sitting in those seats should have been removed and all tix confiscated. Cause no way that all tix were legit.

Just my 2 cents.

I'm super mad about this. Now I get to choose between like the Rams, Bucs, and Seahawks. I guess I'll have to pick the Bucs since I've seen the Rams and Seahawks play @ candlestick before.

I REALLY wanted to go see the Saints game. Saved up for it and everything.

can't u just do it from stubhub?

Its not about stubhub, its about the Niners doing illegal business.

Have the niners always done this with single game ticket sales?
Can someone with more experience explain to me how this might not be illegal?

Me and my friends just want to go to the raiders game for a good ol rivalry game but we can't afford to buy tickets for 2 games.
Guess my other option is stubhub...

Thats BS!

BTW, what game is the Rice HOF ceremony?

MNF against the Aints

The San Diego Chargers have been doing this for years with the Raiders game. Their goal is to prevent the riff-raff (sp?) from going to the Raiders game and causing problems by forcing them to buy tickets to other games under the assumption they can't/won't afford it. I think it is genius!

No clue if it is illegal, but I imagine if it was cut & dry illegal the 49ers legal counsel would have shot it down long ago.
A lot of teams do that. I know the chargers do.

That's not such a bad thing... I'd rather not see the criminal fader fans at the game anyways.
