Prior to the online system, folks would apply for more than they wanted to help ensure they'd get something. When you go online now, you pick and get exactly what you want and don't run the risk of having extras that you might feel compelled to use, sell ot give away. Those tickets aren't purchased. We now end up buying fewer tickets than we did in the past.

After a couple rounds of the online routine, I am seriously considering just buying on the after market for less $ and taking some risk that there might be a game a season where it might be harder or more expensive to buy tickets that way than through the online system. That won't happen this year and will rarely be the case with the way the schedules will be looking forward.

The premium I pay now to choose my seats and know I have them is getting to be more than it's worth.
