...have already purchased season tix or had donated in 2022 and pledged to donate this year (see image from their site). I called because I have donated in past, but because I missed making a donation in 2022, they told me to try Seat Geek. I told them I needed ADA seating (which they said they had a lot of) but could not sell to me unless I got a ticket somewhere else and then came back to them to trade it in. I asked if it was going to sell out and they said they had "lots of seats available." Per ESPN, it turns out they only had 70% attendance at the game this year, so that policy really back fired on them. Even worse, I looked up their athletic fund audits on the state website and they got subsidies from the state in 2021 and 2022 for their athletics program. We also got subsidies from the state in 2021 for COVID, but we did not get them in 2022 AND we gave back our ticket sales revenue after they cancelled the game in Blacksburg last Fall. I fully support their decision to cancel the game, but intentionally blocking that same in-state rival from getting tickets to a game that they know will sell out just because they don't want the rival fans in attendance is inexcusable (especially given that we are both state schools). The only entity that won with them restricting our game (we were the only game that they made this restriction on) was SeatGeek and StubHub. UVA could have taken in a lot of extra donation money (as they have in the past from us Hokies that have subsidized them for years), but they actually gave up 30% in sales and lost the additional donation revenues to 3rd party ticket sites that charged more in fees than UVA wanted from us in past for donations. I get that UVA fans just weren't that interested in coming this year, but how do they expect in-state recruits to want to play for a school that can't fill their stadium for any home game. It was a bad look for UVA and the state of Virginia to have so many empty seats on Saturday and it would have at least sold out if they weren't so worried about keeping Hokies out.
