OK, everyone open their mind when reading this. Put the negativity on the backburner and look for the positives before you bitchslap me all over the board.
How about "reselling" tickets? What I mean by that is having the organization re-sell tickets that aren't being used for a given night.
For instance, if you go to Vegas and want to see a show, you can go to the cancellation window at the last minute and people who had tickets but won't use them basically surrender their seats and the promoter resells that same seat to the guy waiting in line.
When my son was born this past July 23rd I couldn't make the Bomber game that weekend so I ended up giving my tickets away to a buddy - but if I could have gone online to season ticket services and noted that I wouldn't be making the game the Bombers could have sold my tickets (assuming the demand was there). You could entice the original ticket holder by offering some future credit in exchange for the ticket surrender.
Take it further - if your ticket isn't scanned into the building by the 10 minute mark of the 1st period people wanting to buy in could then grab that ticket. If you want your season ticket to be protected from predatory behaviour like this such protection would be available for a price
It's like selling the same seat twice - with some consideration given to the original seat holder of course.
It would work! Not as well as "All You Can Eat" at the Phoenix Coyotes games of course, but no one could compete with that promotion. I'll have 35 smokey dogs with my $11 ticket please!
