Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

So DW basically said Neyland would be 100% this fall and no one even noticed.....

 

[Christian Lowe]

Expecting basic decency from people rarely causes more harm than good. I'm selling my extra tickets to friends at face value. Yes, they would pay more. No, it isn't worth the money to me to be an a$$.

I’m not telling you to Jack up the price of the tickets you’re selling. I’m in the market for tickets too and don’t want to pay $600 a ticket. But I don’t think it’s wrong for them to charge that much.

 

[BigOrangeVols]

Does complaining on a message board fix it? If you don't like it and it is a awful and pervasive as you claim, lobby your elected officials to investigate it and propose a solution to... actually fix it in real life.

You came to defend the practice lmao. Why are you defending something with no counterpoints? The message board wouldn’t exist for you. Kinda dumb to say.

And please don’t let me fool you into thinking I care. I’ll keep paying the scalpers and they’ll still be scum the next day with my extra $200 that they prob will blow at Weigel’s in a week. It’s a few hundred bucks, not writing my senator.

 

[BigOrangeVols]

I don't buy tickets from scalpers and I don't sell tickets to scalpers. If I go on an ticket resale site and the number next to the dollar sign doesn't line up with my budget to spend on a sporting event then I just don't go. If people stop buy over priced tickets from scalpers or resale sights then the price will come down. As long as people are willing to dip into their kids orthodontist fund to attend a playoff game then nothing is going to change. Watch the game on tv and let others spend their hard earned money to go to the game if they want to.

I’ll do what I want thanks

This is right, we all make choices. If enough people make the choice NOT to buy the ticket, the $$$ will come down.

The standing room looks awesome. Makes me think of a Braves game. Creates a nice bit of interaction among fans too imo...especially with the bar nearby.

Would be a good hire.

 

[tnhunter 10]

Agree but, with all that standing room I bet you can get more than 102,000 in there. I mean heck we’ve had reported numbers over 102,000 haven’t we back when we were winning because of all the people they started letting in for standing room.

I wouldn't mind Neyland losing a few seats to make it more comfortable. I'm not all about sitting in another guy's lap.

Did anyone try to buy tickets from LSU's ticket office?

Or maybe you just weren't rich enough

Maybe. Heck. I'm make a decent salary but I choose to spend money on somethings and not on others. I wouldn't be willing to spend much more than $50 per seat to go to a baseball game. Maybe that goes up for a playoff game. But here is the thing... there are obviously people that are willing to spend a lot more than that and so those people will go to the game and I'll watch from my living room. We will all see the game and all cheer for the Vols.

Yikes.

one issue I have with pro games is the price gouging. If I want to take my son or one of my daughters to Braves game, its $150.00.

That doesnt work in this middle class, blue collar family.

So...it's just for rich people?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

We usually agree, not here I guess. Market dictates everything, and corrects itself accordingly. When you try to mess with it, you do more harm than good.

The answer lies in the middle. Socialism is stupid, but unregulated greed is evil. Taking advantage of people starving and thirsting to death is ****** evil as evil gets. You can make money without being evil about it.

Love this answer from ADDW….

Now Danny, that’s a text my buddy worth post.

I get that line of thinking but when you put price gouging laws in place, then they’re just starving and thirsting to death without any options at all.

Since I don’t have faith in our boosters I need you ladies to step up.

In announcing its "My All" Campaign on Wednesday, Tennessee noted that $200 million of the $500 million fundraising goal for the campaign has already been committed with roughly $70 million earmarked for enhancements to Neyland Stadium and the Anderson Training Center, Tennessee's football complex.

At this point Id rather them not give much anything to the practically dead football program. Spend all that money on basketball and baseball! Make those two facilities the best in the country!

No they are not
