You should learn about the business model of sports and ticket sales before you bitch.

Dude, you're talking about an organization that is lucky to get 30k per game and has nothing but open seating behind the 2nd row of the upper deck in the end zones - where we're sitting.
The business model you described is understood and expected in a market like New York or Boston where tickets are at a premium.
Not in a market where over half of the stadium is empty after season tickets are accounted for.
And FTR, I know of at least one pro team that doesn't use that strategy - and they sold out 30+ of 41 home dates last year while missing the playoffs.
I'm sure their customer service and willingness to put the fan first had nothing to do with it.
