JOJOTOWNSELL Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 http://www.sportressofblogitude.com/2011/02/04/stairway-to-replevin-jerry-jones-figuring-out-new-ways-to-rob-ticket-buyers-blind/ Another day, another scheme hatched by the biggest huckster of them all, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. The greedy Dallas grandstander is now peddling “stairwell standing” seats in Cowboys Stadium for Super Bowl XLV, meaning that you – yes, you – could say that you were there – in the building at least – when the Green Bay Packers took on the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Big Game. Sure, you won’t see one stinking bit of the game – you’ll be standing in a freaking stairwell, likely packed in like a bunch of swindled sardines- but you can say you were there, separated from viewing the game, the playing field and that ginormous video screen by only a few feet of concrete and some stairs. But hey, isn’t that all that counts? About 300 of these tickets are available. A pair currently sells for $350 to stand in the stairwell. WFAA reports that one pair has already sold on EBay for $3,500. Arlington city fire marshals have signed off on the sale of these tickets. Sweet Jesus. Anyone foolish enough to pay $350, let alone $3,500 to stand in a goddamn stairwell of a stadium doesn’t only deserve to take it up the poop chute from Jerry Jones figuratively – which they are – they probably deserve to take it up the poop chute literally as well. Bend over, suckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMC Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 What about Jones' plans to sell seats outside the stadium so fans can watch the game on a big screen? The weather kaboshed that. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4HCrew Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Free market capitalism at its best! not for nothing if the Jets made it I am sure many would have considered it...but if there was absolutely no view whatsoever of the game what gives?

Not so sure JETS fans would have gone for this deal. And after 40 plus years i am sure each and everyone of the fans would atleast want to watch each and every freaking play of that game. And not be caught in a stairwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugg Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 What about Jones' plans to sell seats outside the stadium so fans can watch the game on a big screen? The weather kaboshed that. LOL The NFL was bragging that they sold 4000 such tickets at $200 a pop to stand in the parking lot and watch a video screen. Hadn't heard they called it off yet.

Bend over, suckers. ????? there are still real seats available in decent sections for under $2500 on Stubhub AND Ebay. Why would someone buy a hall pass for $3500? Gonna have to say....Sounds Like Bullsh*t To Me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThisYearsModel Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 If the Jets were in the game, some of our colleagues would be in the stairwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SayNoToDMC Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 To bad the Jets didn't make it. What a disastrous idea it would be to try and contain 300 drunk Jets fans in the Stairwell for 5 hours. You couldn't pay me enough to work that security shift.
