The shortsightedness of this policy is amazing.
First, I live over an hour away. I'm not going to drive to the Joel and pay $40 to watch this product. No chance. HOWEVER, there is a decent chance I'll drive an hour to pay $5-$10 to watch. While I'm there I'll spend $20 on food/drinks (more of the ACC would allow beer, but that's a different issue).
This policy only keeps fans away, sells LESS tickets in the long run (because these people who paid $40 for the seats in the first place eventually will stop this foolish activity if they can't even recoup a ten spot), and passes on any possibility of making concession money.
Put a quality product on the floor and you'll sell plenty of tickets. That's the bottom line.
