Ticket "resalers" or "scalpers" or whatever you want to call them, will scarf up all the "freemium" tickets faster than the target audience can and then in turn sell them on their own.

Destroys the entire premise for the idea.

Could do a will-call system, have to pick them up in person at the gate an hour or 2 before the game. Limit 2 per person that shows up or something like that... Would really close the time-frame they'd have to sell and make a profit, then the profit they could make would be so minimal it wouldn't be worth it for them.
