    Aren't most tickets sold as part of either season ticket or corporate packages?

    So, unless they can find someway to get more cash out of the TV contract, they aren't making any more and probably having to pay out more.

    Given the current economic climate, they will be doing quite well simply to not suffer a loss in the next TV deal.

    The tickets are sold, sure, but the 1000-percent-hiked concessions ($10 beers, $8 Cokes, $6 hot dogs, $5 bottles of water ... you remember those, right?), aren't bought by 35,000 empty seats.
