Can’t wait for October 13th

Some might say this is one way to keep the enemy at bay. Others could say you this just shows how far behind you are.

Anyone who wants to buy a ticket for the Cardinals - Cowboys game on October 12th in Phoenix must also buy a ticket to the August 7th preseason opener against the New Orleans Saints. In the past whenever the Cowboys are in Phoenix, mobs of Dallas fans come to Phoenix essentially taking away the home field advantage. We suspect the thinking behind this is one of two things:

1) The Arizona brain trust is thinking we want to keep those dirty Dallas–folk in Dallas for the weekend.
2) The Arizona brain trust realizes the Dallas-folk do not care about the ticket prices and will buy the extra ticket just a easily as the first. This way they can make money on something they could not even give away before.

We hope it is #2. We can respect that a lot more.

Keep in mind, with the new Cowboy Stadium opening up, Mr. Jones has taken the PSL cost to a new level, charging up to $150,000 per seat. An that is just for the license, not the ticket. If his fan base is willing to pay that much for a license, the preseason ticket in Arizona might not seem like that big if a deal.

If anything else, it raises the awareness, and hence the demand, for a ticket to the October 12th game. Anyone who has a ticket ready to sell to that game can now make just a little bit more.
