You are exactly right - it is about ow it looks on TV

VT ticketing called me to sell me ****ty GA seats (which I bought since I reserved VERY early and still got bumped) and I gave him a real ear full. One thing he did says was that "it does not look good on TV when there are empty seats but the game is sold out". So he said the quiet part out loud. Could care less if the loyal fans get screwed but by jove, things need to look good for TV.

Can (rhetorical question) the Ath Dep encourage USE of corporate tix/seats? -- TomTurkey Jul 21, 2024 at 07:55 PM ET

They "can" do anything they want. But a lot of your questions -- saret Jul 21, 2024 at 10:22 PM ET

saret • 07/21/24 10:22 PM ET

Exactly. They do not care about "regular people" fans. Esp in WBB** -- j9hokie Jul 22, 2024 at 07:24 AM ET

Our basketball ticket strategy isn’t very good -- GreenvilleVT Jul 19, 2024 at 06:37 AM ET

This is probably an outcome of the media money game -- HokieAl Jul 19, 2024 at 10:34 AM ET
