Could not be more disappointed in the Saints.....

Sorry bout your feelings being hurt, but this is the time when Owners are looking to get the best bang out of their long time investment.
If Benson is releasing 4,000 you'd have to almost guarantee Jerry Jones only releases about 200..
It's most likely standard practice to have more available for corporate heads, CEO's, Celebrities, and others that can afford tickets that can sell for as much as $40,000 for a Superbowl ticket..

Most regular fan's don't even go because of how over priced they are and they tend to bargain shop when at that time Stadiums, owners, etc are all trying to milk as much money out of this big game as possible, they want people wealthy enough to buy a $40.00 Pizza Pie, $20.00 cheese Pretzel, 200.00 shrimp and steak dinner, and other jacked up priced items...
Not to mention chances are you'll be seated next to or near a Big time Artist, Actor, Actress, Athlete, CEO etc so allowing just a bunch of wild fan's into that game which allows them to gawk all up in those people faces and asking for autographs, and just being star struck the entire time come with a price, It's like going to an award Ceremony in some ways.

I could sit next to most Hollywood stars & not give a burning mexican ****. Most of them are idiots, and nothing drives them crazy like stepping somewhere where the cameras dont flash at them.

.

Seriously?

Benson still rapes the state for his $15 million a year just to keep the Saints here. He even collected in 2006 when money was a little tight after the rain. He also rents out over priced "contracted" office space to add to his bulging bankroll.

Now you want us to stomach the fact that he can't find another 3000-4000 tickets for SEASON TICKET holders?

Benson is just part of the problem- 17.5% to participating teams is a f***ing joke. It's 34% for the other 30 teams. What did anyone associated with Seattle or St. Louis do to deserve even one ticket?

Make it 35% each team, with 20% mandatory to the fans.
