Cowboys Admit to Willingly Fleecing Fans

It wasn’t only the fact that the Cowboys lost the game to the Giants during the grand opening of Jerry Jones’ mammoth monument to avarice. No, some attendees just plain had a crummy time.

↵Most of these people were the saps who dropped $29 on a Party Pass, which are the standing room-only tickets that allow people to cram in cheek-by-jowl with other fans and watch the game on a huge screen like they could at home. BUT INSTEAD YOU’RE ACTUALLY THERE! IT’S TOTALLY WORTH THE DISCOMFORT AND EXTRA EFFORT!↵↵One fan miffed by the Party Pass experience (far too crowded, lack of bathroom access) wrote to the team to complain in polite, measured words. And the Cowboys, to their credit, offered the fan an apology and a full refund. Along with what we in the online world call an “overshare.”↵

↵↵⇥If it helps at all, the only reason so many party passes were sold for Sunday’s game was to break the attendance record. I can assure you that only 1/3 of that amount of party passes will be sold for each game going forward...10,000 max instead of 30,000. That was a one-time deal for the grand opening of the stadium.↵⇥↵⇥Sincerely,

↵↵↵Yikes. I’m guessing the legal department didn’t sign off on the admission that they oversold a section of a stadium for the singular purpose of breaking a meaningless record. If the Cowboys are lucky, they’ll only have to dole out refunds for the 20,000 people who were part of the Great Opening Night Sellout Experience. But, hey, a record’s a record, right?↵
