Anyone season ticket holder who doesn't want to go due to the vaccine requirement will have no issue selling tickets. There's probably a 200-300% mark up right now on Seat Geek for a lot of seats. Yes, this might reduce demand somewhat and drop that down closer to 100% mark up, but recouping what they paid won't be a problem.

Well, the Saints announced they only had 120 inquiries from season ticket holders about refunds for unvaccinated ticket holders that did not want to show proof of a negative test. Therefore, they decided to go ahead and open up refunds with the tickets going straight to the waiting list of, in their words, "loyal fans".

They were contrasting the Saints' fans who would be new season ticket holders to visiting fans who would buy a portion of the tickets that would be sold off by unvaccinated season ticket holders.

I didn't read their statement as a suggestion that the unvaccinated fans were not loyal as well.

I never said they weren't, did I. I just quoted what they said.

So, why go out of your way to mention it was their words and not yours?

Their point actually makes sense, once you understand what their point was.

I'm just pointing out the their stated reason was logical. Now, their stated reason may be a pretext and their real reason was to avoid litigation, but it was logical. (It is simply not true that only a very small percentage of lawsuits survive. In any event, it's not a good look for a franchise to be sued by fans over an issue like this).
