If you were one of the 400 fans that got screwed, what would you want? No amount of money would be good enough for me.

The only solution that would satisfy me, is if they demolished the stadium in Dallas and deported Jerry Jones from the country.

If I was a Packers fan, I'd be extremely pissed off and my "demands" would be greatly exaggerated. I'd want them to fly me to every single game the Packers play in the upcoming season, preseason, regular season and playoffs and pay for it all.

If I was just a fan of the NFL, I'd be cool with the 3x refund and ticket to next years Super Bowl.

The NFL is going to see litigation on this activity.. and if it is true they knew about this issue last week and gambled.. they will be dealt some hefty losses in any suit.

They should not have sold the tickets if they weren't 100% convinced that they would have the seats to fill.

This is far from over with 3x the money and tickets next season.

Wait, I change my demands. I would demand a Super Bowl XLVI ticket and the NFL does everything in it's power and then some to ensure the Packers reach said game. :)

Edit, oh and buy me out of my commitment with my current job and relocate me back in Green Bay, WI with a job of equal salary. 🙂

Hell, I wouldn't even ask for the triple refund. Just a ticket to the next Super Bowl, as well as hotel and airfare paid for.

How do airlines get away with overbooking flights?

For the same reasons hotels get by with doing the same thing. There's a certain statistically well-defined percentage of patrons who fail to show up for flights or hotel stays (I don't remember the exact numbers), so airlines and hotels try to overbook by approximately that percentage. More often than not, it isn't an issue, but sometimes unforeseen circumstances arise and they're faced with a dilemma.

It's all about playing the odds.

The league/stadium is clearly at fault here, since they knew ahead of time that the section might not be ready. They gambled and lost. It's to their credit, actually, that they admitted their mistake rather than risk anyone's safety.

I think the triple refund and ticket to SB XLVI is compensation enough. If any of those fans don't want to see it, they could easily sell the tickets at a H-U-G-E profit...

My "pain, suffering, and emotional distress" would probably be compensated for by lifetime all-first-class-expenses-paid-for trips to every future Super Bowl.

Maybe.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
