Just a heads up to you all.
First half due March 20.
Do you think a lot of bandwagon people will give up their seats after a dismal season?
Please say yes....

One can only hope. :-\ It was pretty bad the past couple of years.
No, I think it would take more than one bad year for people to actually get rid of their season tickets. But I'm sure there were a lot of ticket holders who stopped going to the games last year and auctioned them off to the highest bidder.
Who's Trent Cole?
Darwin Walker's thigh massager
a bad motherfarger.
Shut yo' mouth!
hey man, just talking about dirty trent.
Just paid the first half. And I'm going to call the ticket office and put in an official request to have my seats moved. The morons around us are almost getting to be too much to bear.

How easily is that done? Do you think they'll move you? Do you think they care that your neighbors act like dicks?
[Don't get defensive..I'm genuinely curious, not being sarcastic.]
either he's not being sarcastic or he's being doubly sarcastic, proceed with caution.
Not joking. I really wonder: does the team give a shtein?
i think they will listen to what you have to say, and they may honestly try and do what they can for you. but i'm not sure how much wriggle room they have to make such moves.

It will only get worse in the SBL sections. All the seats behind me are held by ticket brokers, so there are different fans(usually oppenents fans) there every week. If people start to bail on their SBL's while the prices are high, more brokers will have more seats, which will mean more bandwagoners and opposing fans.
Which in turn, leaves more asses to be kicked.
Got mine on Monday and paid the first half.
Sus... a little tip: Don't bitch about your neighbors. Tell the ticket office that someone in your party has a physical ailment. That's how I got my seats in the third row instead of row 31.

My buddy Joe is partially disabled, dumbass. He tore his knees up and can barely walk anymore.
btw...i always end up with a couple extra tickets every year due to people bailing on me, so if anybody needs any, just let me know and i can see what i can do.
ticket prices still the same i assume.....
Yeah, that's been addressed before. No hike this year.

I think that's how it works. I e-mailed them, and they said I needed to call and have a note put on my account. If something becomes available, they'll try to move me...but it might not happen this year. Having 4 seats together is going to make it a little tougher, I'm sure. But At least I can try.
Do they care why you are asking to move? I mean, did you need to tell them you've got a gang of jerks nearby?
Didn't the club seaters get drilled this year? I thought they had a three year freeze on ticket prices and then have to pay a 5% annual price hike each year thereafter?
Meh - farg 'em. They can afford it.

I don't know if they care; I haven't had that much communication with them yet.
The only reason I suggested using the tactic I did was because it was successful.
I wasn't 100% honest with them, but then again, they don't seem to mind cashing the checks I write them every year, and they'd be only too happy to take my seats back and sell the SBL's again if I was a day late with the payment.

And that's the reason I was on your ass. That tactic should only be used when it's needed. Maybe your boyfriend has bad knees, so it was fair in your case. But to suggest that a healthy person scam his way out of bad seats into better ones on the gimp sob story is just plain Florida Classy.
:-D
I didn't get handicapped seats, Dio.
They're in the third row of section 110 at the end of the row. Plain, old-fashioned regular seats at the Linc. My intent was to get better seats in terms of accessibility for my boy and his family who use the tickets. Since I only attend 2 or 3 games a year, it hardly benefits me to any great extent.
But whatever. Keep on keepin' on, bro.

I don't believe that for a second. You bounced a lifelong cripple--who never knew what it feels like to run, so he watched football and dreamed--out of his seat for your boyfriend with bad knees.
You also knocked an old lady over when you parked the car at the Pharmacy the other day, you bastich.

False :boo

True :yay
The old bitch had it coming. She was wearing a taterskins jacket.
So what you're saying is, your boyfriend has bad knees.

that's what happens when you spend so much time on them.
rome, please don't let joe know i said that, he is one huge dude, though with the bad knees i could probably out run him, but still...
I told that fat farger he needs to cut some weight. :P
What can you do, though? He's a fat Italian who owns a restaurant. He's gonna be big anyway.
Last time I talked to him he was down about 25 pounds, though. That leaves him about 75 to go.
sun, i would be interested in some of your tickets. let me know what the deal is when after you find out the outcome.
amazing how different this year's season ticket letter was compared to last season. Last year was "we are so great, really look forward to a new season blah, blah"....this years letter was like "hi, remember us, send in your money now".
...so I did, gladly.
