The "Membership" ticket strategy is incredibly stupid

If you don't want empty seats because people (prob big donors and corporates) buy premium seats but don't come to games, limit the number of seats one person can buy, use tiered ticket pricing, and REWARD PEOPLE WHO DO COME TO GAMES. I am local and did not miss one game. Donated to Hokie Club, etc., multi year season tkt holder. Was I rewarded? Nope, got bumped to GA. Punishing people who don't come vs rewarding those that do is frigging dumb. People who show add to the atmosphere AND buy overpriced concessions, wear Hokie merch, etc. Should be respected and rewarded, not dumped.

There you go again, Chip, thinking outside the box.

There is another group that VT AD doesn't give a hoot for.

Can (rhetorical question) the Ath Dep encourage USE of corporate tix/seats?
TomTurkey 07/21/24 07:55 PM ET
They "can" do anything they want. But a lot of your questions
saret 07/21/24 10:22 PM ET
Exactly. They do not care about "regular people" fans. Esp in WBB**
j9hokie 07/22/24 07:24 AM ET
This is also true.**

I feel like I'm in the same boat. I'm disappointed in the new system too.**

Our basketball ticket strategy isn’t very good

This is probably an outcome of the media money game
HokieAl 07/19/24 10:34 AM ET
You are exactly right - it is about ow it looks on TV
j9hokie 07/20/24 08:17 PM ET
