Raiders don't sell out because most of them are broke out there, if they had the money it would sell out just like the Cheaps every week

Stadiums don't sell merchandise when fans hate the team and don't identify with the players. They don't buy concessions if they're leaving in the 3rd quarter. And while you may think a ticket is "sold" just because somebody bought it in advance, again, when thousands of people are buying less beer and goodies because they're not showing up to games, these affect the bottom line. Not to mention I'm sure Clark Hunt has in the back of his mind the thought of how he is going to maximize season tickets for next year.
This year, we had some false hope that the team would be watchable, so people bought season tickets. If Pioli is extended, next season is going to be nightmare for season tickets. I feel bad for any sales guy put on that job.
