Officials for games may cause unexpected hike in ticket prices

[indyskinsfan]

Should the NFL game officials have their way on compensations that would be escalating into unusual numbers to 2004, the one place that always subsidizes these increases is - ticketholders and those who purchase merchandise. We know for some, paying their way, no fault of their own, have the money to consistantly keep up and shell out the bucks for these increases.

Then there are those who have to find a way to get into games for the post season, preseason (though these aren't really that difficult), and bu merchandise. It is among this group that figures for revenue can be fickle, like the marketability of a Deion Sanders jersey in the spring of 2000 was brisk and pretty good, but by summer of 2001, it was falling like a boulder down a hill, until finally Fred Smoot took #21 and now the sale, as projected will be brisk once again, but for another marketable reason.

Since this is the most "volatile" part of the revenue sweepstakes, it is ultimately the Season Ticketholder, who is also a merchandise purchaser, that bears the brundt of the costs.

This normally includes those direct and indirect expenses the NFL and teams incure.

For the officials to request such huge numbers so rapidly, it is clear what will happen and who it will impact financially, the most.

Unionism was once a Social order issue, that benefitted the worker without representation among the bourgiose and monarches of the world. Now it is a form of padding representatives pockets and putting the "poor boy" face poster child official out in the public for pitty. I wish I only worked 27 days a year (even with 4 weeks training) and made $100,000. Ahhh, the good life
