Why Wisconsin cut off more than 100 football season ticket holders from buying again in 2022

A "history of reselling tickets" got 118 Badgers football ticket buyers a message from UW saying they wouldn’t be able to purchase in 2022. Some thought it was a hypocritical

Slippery slope right there.

UW identified the 118 buyers, all of whom had purchased at least 20 season tickets, by reviewing sale and transfer data from previous seasons,

I don’t know that I mind this, it’s not like they are telling the guy who sells one of his 3 tickets each week to take a hike. These are professional brokers and scalpers.

This probably happens quite a bit…

I like what the school is doing even though the people break no rules
Nice to have home team fans occupy the seats

“Ticket sales and usage for Badgers games at Camp Randall Stadium have been on the decline in recent seasons, even before the coronavirus made some spectators skittish about returning to the bleachers in 2021.
The number of tickets distributed has fallen in four consecutive seasons, from a per-game average of 75,944 in 2016 to 70,829 in 2021. The average ticket scan count, a representation of the number of fans in the seats, went from 69,052 to 57,548 in the same time.

The 2021 home schedule included games against Michigan and Iowa, two of the Big Ten opponents that have produced the highest average scanner totals at Camp Randall since data collection started in 2006. The 2022 home opponents are Illinois State, Washington State, New Mexico State, Illinois, Purdue, Maryland and Minnesota.”

UW may have trouble selling those seats with a poor quality home schedule this season.

Probably not the seats these guys were buying. Scalpers need good seats to turn a profit. Like you said, bad seats are always available.
