But when the Gators were good and the economy was good, like in 2006-2008, a

front of the line and long time season tickets were not given enough credit for 
loyalty, IMO...

And one of the side effects of the above is that now a lot of the best season 
tickets are held by less than loyal Gators, and when the Gators struggle, what 
do they do with those tickets? Sell them to the highest bidder on Ebay, 
StubHub, etc. resulting in scenes like last year's game against FSU where it 
looked (and sounded) like there were more semis fans in the stands than Gator 
fans (which was absolutely a fact by the time the second half rolled around - 
which is a rant for a different day!)

Even with both of my boys in school there Leslie and I will probably attend 
less than half of the home games this year, for a lot of the reasons that 
Stephen cites.
