Normal People Sitting In The Handicapped Section

But even after adding the 2 extra seats they were not even close to the other 2 and it wasn't a problem at all. Still rode and tailgated together but never did all 4 sit together.

You've stated that when you rolled up on these folks and asked about their handicap they answered that they were the only tickets available.   

So this raises the question, does the team have an obligation to not sell these tickets on game day or the last few days before kickoff ?  If there are a 1,000 handicapped seats as someone suggested and  400 of them are unsold the day before kickoff but so called normal people are still requesting tickets what should be the protocol ? Should they just leave them empty in case 400 handicapped people show up at the last minute for a sold out game which is highly unlikely, or sell them. It is a business mind you.  

Would think most people who actually need a handicap seat know in advance that they want to attend and rarely do it spontaneously at the last second. The team should be able to sell the unsold seats imo.

Plus if every single handicapped person took 3 friends with them like you do ? The math says that only 250 handicapped folks would get these seats while 750 of their normal friends take up the rest. Seems odd and there must be a lot of rolling up on normal folks going on.  

Think they should limit the extra seats to 1 or 2 per handicapped person to bring with them and make these tickets only available to handicapped people until 2 days before game and then sell any unpurchased seats on open market if game is a sellout.


Then would also revoke the privilege of buying these seats to those who sell these seats to non handicapped fans for profit. 

Your post should really be the end of this thread Go Cards.

You basically touched on every subject but fraud, which sadly will happen and is hard to eradicate.
