I recall Tennessee doing this a few years ago......
Anecdotal evidence: I bought someone else's season tickets for the 2016 and 2017 seasons (different persons each time). Last year, I was not going to be able to go anyway - remember, I live in Dallas, so for me it's huge expense just to go to one game, and I have a child in "college" (a conservatory), so I didn't even try. This year, I got a text message from the broker who sold me tickets two years ago asking if I wanted season tickets. I politely declined, mostly because I'm not paying a fortune for what amounts to two decent home games.
I'd never heard of someone having (or feeling they had) to contact someone else in order to sell Alabama football tickets.
I know folks get upset about the overall grind, and since we've BY FAR played more games than anyone else since 2014 - and more big ones - I "get" not opening with Ohio St in BDS.
But at some point, the novelty of "the BDS experience" wears out on the locals, and who in their right minds is spending Saturday at BDS watching us end the game with New Mexico St or Mercer in the first qtr? We haven't lost a home game to an unranked team since 2007, and very few of those kinds of games have even been close. At some point - especially in the HDTV age, everyone has a big screen, plumbing going out in the stadium so you have to hold it - the expense isn't worth it.
