That’s just wrong

Ok

The complaint currently that "people are being priced out of going" is true because some people are unable to justify the cost of season tickets anymore but they are merely replaced by those who can and will currently justify that cost and buy the tickets.

People here are attaching too much value to long-term attendees vs new attendees.

Folks who've been on the list, donating for years, and unable to get season tickets see it much differently when they finally get a shot at seats.

You act as if its a 1:1 deal. Customer A drops off and Customer B steps right in. And that there's an endless line of customers waiting to dive in.

That's why I brought up SMI. Ask them how that worked out.

This is why I refer to it as a 1:1 deal. There's quite a long waiting list for tickets.

That is the marketing pitch. Do I believe there may be a subset of fans out there who have either requested information around tickets or purchased single game tickets that add up to 24k? yes. Do I believe that if 24K season tickets magically became available those would get bought by the folks on the waiting list - absolutely not. Interest doesn't = tickets sold.

I dare say more than likely I am on the Bama list, the Pittsburg list and maybe now the OSU list. Why? Because I've purchased tickets from other season ticket holders for games at those locations - and now I am on their contact list.

Well, the fact we've sold out all the tickets for 3 or so years seems to indicate people dropping out are being replaced by others as fast as is needed.

Is it 24k? Who knows. Is it enough to keep Neyland sold out? Yep. That's all that matters, not the list.

And older fans who supported this program through thick and thin with (for them) significant money are getting priced out or to cheaper seats in the upper deck. Life in the big city, I reckon. It goes with what I told my kids while raising them. “Life ain’t fair, get a helmet”

I know the drill and the Golden Rule: “He who has the gold makes the rules.”

I got my butt whipped by a guy in middle school who asked me to take off my watch to fight then clocked me while I was doing it. Rookie mistake, I know, but I'd just started wearing a watch.

I complained to my Dad that the guy didn't fight fair. Dad's sage words were, "If you idiots were being fair, you wouldn't be fighting."

I get that old fans like me could get priced out but the new kids, hungry to see Neyland, excited to finally get seats deserve their time in the seats too and if they'll pay more for it, I can't blame UT for selling it for more to them and not me.

Liked for the watch story.
