..I did some research a few years ago when they refused to sell the Virginia Tech football game tickets to anyone that had not donated to athletics the year before and that year. I have no problem donating the year of the game to get seats, but they were clearly denying VT fans the chance to buy a seat when they did not come close to selling out the stadium that year. I pulled their funding records and the state had been subsidizing them for low ticket sales the last 2 years. That means all Virginia residents were subsidizing their inability to fill the stadium and yet, another state school could not buy tickets to a game that there. This was in 2023 and they had an official attendance of 43k in a 61.5k capacity stadium. When Hokie fans were buying a large amount of tickets to their women's basketball game in 2024 at JPJ, the "general admission" section was moved to the upper deck mid sales and the basketball coach put out a request to Hoo fans to fill the stadium. Lower level seats that were previously designated as "general admission" were now reserved and most of Hokie Nation was sitting in the rafters. UVA will be hosting the ACC Championships next month and I was shocked to see how poor the seating is. I've got tickets for the last 2 days, but don't know how any of us are going to be able to get in that place and secure seats with no reserved seats. Gates open 1 hour before first game, again. Supposedly, everything is general admission for that event (at least that is all you could buy online). It will likely be a mess.... When UVA fans cannot sustain their own budget for ticket sales, the taxpayers in Virginia subsidize them. We should not be prevented from buying a ticket or from securing an available ticket when their own fans aren't interested. We definitely should not be excluded from sitting in seats that were never "reserved" because everyone has free access to general admission seating....
