So we have 6 tickets and there are people in our seats every game. If they

have this attendance data shouldn't they just allows us to buy all the games at once? Seems like if you have the technology use it. If you haven't been filling the seats then yes you get the 1+1 opportunity.

Reading my Investment Guide...they are removing non-conference
hoosnowahokie • 10/02/23 09:09 PM ET
Sounds like a very good way of getting more sold seats actually filled.
Femoyer Hokie • 10/03/23 11:42 AM ET
This. I'm hopeful this will actually present an option to people that

There already is this option. ACC-only games have been a package for

In this case the Investment Guide didn’t fully explain the process.

So, so true.**

"Investment Guide" is a crafty euphemism for "this is how you must spend!"**

Another alternative, Nice post. See my response to @I love VT! , infra.**
saret • 10/03/23 09:20 AM ET
That’s too simple.
RJHokie • 10/02/23 10:29 PM ET
It sounds like you are reading that right. I didn't realize that.
nvpbrown • 10/02/23 09:53 PM ET
Interesting thing is, they make double off the non conference tickets.
134562Hokie • 10/03/23 08:47 AM ET
Good info. This explains what they propose to do.
RJHokie • 10/03/23 12:47 PM ET
There's that proverbial AthDept lack of transparency.**
saret • 10/03/23 09:22 AM ET
Transparency is over-rated**
HokiePATT • 10/03/23 04:26 PM ET
Clearly you have never run a business/organization…**
Brewing_Hokie • 10/03/23 06:07 PM ET
Clearly you would be wrong.
HokiePATT • 10/07/23 09:11 PM ET
That's a matter of opinion.**
saret • 10/03/23 05:01 PM ET
Truth!**
RJHokie • 10/03/23 05:33 PM ET
Truth……it shows a lot of the details still aren’t finalized
RJHokie • 10/03/23 12:49 PM ET
The first page made it seem that way
hoosnowahokie • 10/02/23 11:05 PM ET
Pls let us know what you find out.**
saret • 10/03/23 09:22 AM ET
Maybe not this cycle, bur probably next cycle.**

Ah. The next general reseating.
Atlee Hokie • 10/03/23 12:05 AM ET
See my post below for a different local perspective, Atlee.
I love VT! • 10/03/23 04:59 AM ET
It will make them more expensive, and that is the purpose. However,

Saret, I am also local & use all my tickets...but...

Here's the thing: If you have all the data about people who aren't getting

FWIW, that's exactly what happened when I renewed for this year...
I love VT! • 10/03/23 11:58 AM ET
Right, I'm more concerned if they are going to start charging me more money
hoosnowahokie • 10/03/23 12:34 PM ET
Again, a good post. Your opening line is an experience I have not
saret • 10/03/23 12:21 PM ET
Could you clarify which part of my position on scanning data you find

Again, a good post. I'll try to be clearer. As I said, using scanning

Re the scanning data...
I love VT! • 10/03/23 04:31 PM ET
OK,I think.**
saret • 10/03/23 05:06 PM ET
Basically we both agree with your statement...
I love VT! • 10/03/23 11:43 PM ET
I hope that is the case.**
RJHokie • 10/03/23 11:31 AM ET
Nice post, but I think you and I are just going to disagree.
saret • 10/03/23 09:18 AM ET
👍👍👍**
RJHokie • 10/02/23 10:12 PM ET
Ain’t gonna be cheaper for sure.
RJHokie • 10/02/23 10:06 PM ET
I hear you...but...were any of us operating under the assumption that
I love VT! • 10/03/23 05:05 AM ET
Price increases are expected since it's well known that the costs
RJHokie • 10/03/23 11:27 AM ET
Agree with that. But they appear to be doing it selectively, to the usual
saret • 10/03/23 09:27 AM ET
Yeah, the AthDept could screw up a wet dream.
saret • 10/02/23 09:52 PM ET
Truth.
RJHokie • 10/02/23 10:07 PM ET
Whit is a grifter and money grubber. Grifting on MBB, but not charging
saret • 10/02/23 10:11 PM ET
Agree.
RJHokie • 10/02/23 10:14 PM ET
Obviously, Whit and I don't talk much. Of course, Whit doesn't
saret • 10/03/23 09:28 AM ET
You guys plan to call him a money grubbing hypocrite turd brain grifter ...
I love VT! • 10/03/23 05:22 AM ET
From my experience best to just not engage
hokiesteve01 • 10/03/23 06:03 PM ET
Freaking unhinged
WestEndHokie39 • 10/03/23 11:50 AM ET
There are a lot of "hidden charges" in the new prices.
RJHokie • 10/03/23 11:20 AM ET
Speaking of transparency...care to answer my question? **
I love VT! • 10/03/23 11:40 AM ET
Which one?
RJHokie • 10/03/23 12:36 PM ET
Whether you plan to call him a money grubbing hypocrite turd brain grifter
I love VT! • 10/03/23 01:18 PM ET
I would have no problem saying it to him. I spent 28-years being
saret • 10/03/23 04:06 PM ET
I don't think anyone doubts your ability to be confrontational, Saret.
I love VT! • 10/03/23 04:50 PM ET
Anybody in the AD that doesn’t know who RJ or Saret is, is an idiot…
Brewing_Hokie • 10/03/23 06:14 PM ET
I didn't suggest people weren't aware of who they are...
I love VT! • 10/03/23 11:36 PM ET
Would you confront saret and RJ to their faces, they way you have here?**
NokieHokie • 10/03/23 05:09 PM ET
Indeed. Directly and absent name-calling or snark.
I love VT! • 10/03/23 11:38 PM ET
Actually, @RJHokie isa great guy, and I try to emulate him.**
saret • 10/03/23 05:16 PM ET
I can agree with that. **
saret • 10/03/23 05:08 PM ET
@saret used the grifter term and he definitely would tell him that
RJHokie • 10/03/23 01:24 PM ET
So you'll just go with "turd brain" then?
I love VT! • 10/03/23 01:34 PM ET
Yeah, I probably would in some cases, as would a fair number
RJHokie • 10/03/23 01:48 PM ET
I got no problem doing it.**
saret • 10/03/23 09:29 AM ET
Yes they do. **
VintonHokies • 10/03/23 08:03 AM ET
Yeah, another stupid move by the AD turd brains.
