    Yep the premium pricing is set by the resalers. The real lawsuit should be against them; since they received the premium. Then maybe those resalers would sue for restitution against the spurs (which they really wouldn't win anyway). It's just the way the cookie crumbles.

    My entertainment value was unfairly decreased by the league when they totally unacceptably announced that we'd lost the coin flip for Akeem.

    We should all sue the league for fixing games and coddling superstars!

    We hate you too.

    But, this is a good example of defects in our tort system. There's two things here that are messed up. One is the class action system, where if the plaintiff wins each person in the class might get $10, but the attorney makes a bunch. And second, our tort system let's anyone sue. The problem is a bad lawsuit still costs the defendant to defend in legal fees. In the UK if you lose, you pay the other side's costs. It makes you think twice and significantly reduces lawsuits.

    I'm in favor of reform for both.

    Hating lawyers who work within the (defective) system makes no sense to me. Don't hate the player, hate the game!

    My 2 cents.
