According to Ben Volin of the Palm Beach Post, Dolphins CEO Mike Dee is robo-calling season ticket holders with the news that Sunday’s game against the Texans will not be blacked out, after all. An official announcement should be coming from the team shortly. Approximately 10,000 tickets remained available as of Thursday morning, but in the robo-call, Dee says the team and several sponsors, most notably Anheuser-Busch, bought up the remaining tickets so fans in South Florida can watch the game live on TV. The tickets will be given to season-ticket holders on a complimentary basis — those in the 100 and 400 levels get two free tickets, those in the club level will get four, and those in the luxury suites will get eight.

I wouldn't reward disloyal fans. I know in this economy it's tougher for the average fan but hell, their home game against the Pats was played on more of a neutral field.
No, all those Miami fans can't be broke if the Lions were able to sellout and Detroit was hit harder with this economy then Miami.
They actually have to pay for it? This is a trend, that will grow. Bad economy + bad football = empty seats, espacially when the ticket prices will get more expensive
Exactly Olly. Going 1-7 at home is hard to push on to fans. Cklass, the article is rewarding loyal fans. They are giving the tickets to those who have season tickets.
Olly pretty much hit the nail on the head here. In any sport, bad economy and bad teams, ticket sales will suffer. If you aren't winning and consistently fielding an average to below average team, sales across the board will suffer. The only chance you have in this economy (if you aren't winning) is being an expansion team. People gots to prioritize their monies and losing football ain't one...
