I personally know that you're wrong on how this all went out.
Season ticket holders were allowed to get a maximum of 8 additional tickets, based on the priority level. This means, that once all of the season tickets that were requested were filled, they gave the extra tickets (being a maximum of 8) to those who requested them.
So, for example, I have 10 season tickets. I use them, all season, every game. If somebody from my group can't make it, I give them away to friends who can't regularly afford tickets. Anyways, I requested 8 extra's for this group. Maybe an hour or so ago, I found out that I got those 8 extra's, making 18 total. So yes, I got 18, but only 8 of those were from the additional request.
As for people selling them on the secondary market, they haven't even been made available to download yet. On my extra 8 tickets, I can't yet see where they are. Can't see what section, row, or anything. Hopefully find out tomorrow so I can figure out what groups of friends will fit where. Anyways, you're either misunderstanding what you've been told, or flat out lying. I'm guessing it's a misunderstanding, but hopefully this clears it up for you.
