corporate ticket ownership

True. But what percentage of tickets, is the question.

Also, let me tell you that there is a big difference between the mega-corporate interests and smaller and mid-size local businesses, which do tend to own a fair amount of those "corporate" seats and boxes.

I've been present for a couple of nasty debates between partners in businesses that had those kinds of tickets. They are price sensitive too, and they don't appreciate getting gouged either. I've watched a couple businesses drop their Miami Dolphins tickets, and another drop its Miami Heat tickets in the past couple years. In all three cases, it was purely a matter of just being fed up with feeling like they had no way to fight back against the ticket prices getting jacked up, which were particularly egregious in the case of the Heat.
