slufanskip Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 couple of things, i would bet a lot of the mid section and even corner lower bowl empty seats are the results of season tix holders answering their telemarketing call "yes, i want my seats." and then not showing up. surprise to come on the charge that will be on their charge cards anyway. second, as a season ticket holder, i have worked hard to bring extra people to each game and appreciated the fact that i was able to walk into the ticket office yesterday and add 4 more seats for business associates right next to my seats. it is a tough gray area. the season ticket holders and billiken club members have been carrying this program for years. now a few of you that are not billiken club members are p!ssed because you cant do what the long time season ticket holders can. on the other hand, i understand the embarrassment of having those empty prime seats. that's what chris may and his staff get the big bucks for. figuring these problems out. i will say, those of you upset, i suggest that if you join the billiken club i bet a lot of opportunities open up for you immediately. i am not suggesting waiting until august when the next year schedule is out and you pick out seats. i am saying, did you call the billiken club and and say, "i want to join the billiken club. i know the red seats are $150 mandatory donation per seat. i will give you $600 now to join. now give me 4 seats for tonites game in section 102 row k now." my bet is as soon as you bought that billiken club membership they would have offered up the seats you wanted. It doesn't matter if you're a season ticket holder. Holding seats open for 3,000 people that didn't show is absurd. It was the same thing today, I asked them outright if they were holding all season ticket holders seats open for them and was told yes.

It will be entertaining to see if Roy comes out of the closet next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
