YES. fuckin students are going to water down the section by selling their tix to neutral fans who just want to catch the hype. Ridiculous.

Hopefully they stop with the guest tickets. Schnall hinted there could be changes.

It bugs THE SHIT out of me. . . so I just went on to craigslist, read through the ticket offers, and clicked "this is spam" for all the ticket offers that were obviously greedy students selling extra tix that they bought so that other students couldn't get theirs and they could make a buck. . . I encourage everyone to do the same
For the next ticket sale we should make a sign that says "keep The Show red and black only take the tix that you are going to use"

I'm somewhat ok with it as long the tickets go to SDSU fans. If anyone sells their tickets to an opposing fan they should be castrated.

IF you are gonna sell your tickets i think you should ask the person buying them three questions about the team to verify their fanhood lol. Name one of the franklins? Who is known as the beast? Who is our point guard? something to that effect, it was incredible when asking students who were in line monday morning how few even knew that our student section was called "The Show." I hope this guest ticket bullshit stops I'd rather have all 3000 be bandwagon students than 1000 students and 2000 guest ticket randoms

Weak.
There were hundreds of students in line on Monday and there will be even more the following weeks. Those tickets should go to the real Aztec fans who stood in line all morning for a chance to support our team and have been there every game; not to some student scalper who sell 'em to some dude who finally what to "see what the hypes" about in exchange for weed money.

Yea I see people trying to sell student tix for the Wyoming game for $40+ each. That is messed up. $40+ is way too much and people are just trying to make easy bucks by ripping people off. I don't have as much of a problem with people selling their GA tickets, but student tickets that are free or only $10 should not be marked up so much.

Solution: Start spamming craigslist with fake **SDSU B-ball Tickets** - $10 (college area)
In the body of the message just make up the lie that a last minute policy change will require all student tickets to have a RedID on Saturday and tickets without a valid student ID will be forefited.
It won't dissuade the sellers as much as cast doubt with the buyers and cause prices to plummet. The less money made per ticket or bigger pain in the ass to sell means less people selling tickets in the future.

You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. SHOW TEAM, ASSEMBLE!!!! Stage 2 of TicketOps could be to scare sellers that any SDSU students caught transferring tickets for higher than face value will have ticket privileges suspended for the rest of the year. San Diego St v Wyoming 2 tickets - $30 (Talmadge) Are you a student selling tickets? Beware!!! My roommate just got caught by a straw buyer from SDSU posing as a regular fan. When he went to meet the guy he had his tickets scanned and they knew the ID it came from and suspended his ticket privileges for the rest of the year!!!!! Just want to warn everybody out there!!!! Be careful!!!!! |

The admin told some guys this morning that the policy will be reduced to 1 guest pass per red ID. hopefully that will discourage some scalpers.

Buy as many guest passes as you can, make sure they go to students who didn't get one

i hate the idea that these tickets are being sold for profit... and you all know what else i hate? telemarketers.
i was thinking another solution to this problem would be to sign up any person trying to sell their tickets (and are stupid enough to but their phone numbers on the craigslist) to a telemarketing list.

I'm still trying to figure out how I'm getting my student BYU ticket while in Orange County. My Aztec Student For Life pass holds no purpose if they are being sold out before I can get there. Grr the jerks who sell their tickets at absurd prices or give them to people who don't really care!
