Nothing wrong with that. I'm still there, while 2/3 of the "dedicated" season ticket holders are at home stroking their beards thinking about what great fans they are.
Big crowd Friday?
- Thread starter Sean Miller Fan
- Start date
It changed. You can sell for however much you want as long as you have a license and stay a designated amount of feet away from the venue.
Because life gets in the way.
I’ve always had season tickets since graduation.
Spent 15 years in North Carolina and missed most games. Donated my tickets to Ticket for Kids most years.
It was our way to support the program.
Donations and season ticket sales .
Is that so unbelievable to you?
Hope things get better for you.
Pitt seats are crazy cheap, even the club seats
That is very nice of you Souf. I suspect that you are the exception and not the rule. What you did was awesome, not just OK. H2P
Really, you sell gifts. That says it all. Classless
You are not a supporter of the University of Pittsburgh or its athletic programs if you buy tickets from anyone other than Pitt. PERIOD! If you are too poor to afford tickets from Pitt, you have many more serious issues to confront with your life than going to a college football game. College athletics is not the same as professional sports. Sorry, but guys like you are a big part of Pitt's problem. Hail to Pitt!
where exactly did the tickets I am nefariously buying come from?
if you don't give to Saint Jude's you hate kids....Period! Hey, this blanket statement stuff is fun.
Going to the game on the cheap and cheering on the team is always better than not showing up or not financially supporting the school at all. My 2 Cents.
You probably also buy counterfeit Pitt logo bearing goods from Chinese web sites and think you are a big fan too. LOL. Trust me, Pitt will never get better with "fans" like you. Hail to Pitt!
I think you failed to see the word 'period' in all caps...you have no input in the matter as it is settled law.
EXCLAMATION POINT!
Period.
I would be fine with placing blow up dolls in the seats at this point if it reduced the amount of negative publicity we get from those empty, yellow seats.
gotta think he cannot be a defense attorney with those kinds of morality chops...wonder if he refuses free tickets on moral grounds.
You are not really supporting Pitt when you purchase tickets from a source other than Pitt. Sure, Pitt made the first sale...but the second sale does not benefit Pitt...it benefits the seller. I guess on balance it is better to attend the game and cheer for the team than not to do so...but you really cannot call yourself a supporter of the program if you are buying tickets from someone other than Pitt*. If things are so tough that you must save a few dollars of the face value of a Pitt sports ticket, like I said, you have some major issues that need addressed in your life. Hail to Pitt!
* If you get your tickets through a season ticket holder and pay for them, even though you do not purchase directly through Pitt, I would not include you in my view of being a non-supporter. I do this for a number of friends that either cannot or will not make the $500 contribution for the right to purchase a ticket
He is showing his true colors just like @CrazyPaco did a few weeks back. They think they are so much better than everyone else, when in reality they are miserable and cranky old men.
Sure, Pitt made the first sale.....uh, so the ticket was sold by Pitt....I did good then. Listen, counselor, no lectures to me as I write 17 grand checks to Pitt twice a year for tuition room and board.....sorry if I spend 8 bucks to be a part of the 30,000 strong at heinz...
Morality has nothing to do with it. I represent those that pay me to do so, not some secondary market for legal services. I represent plaintiffs and defendants on a regular basis and do so zealously so long as they pay my fees and there is a legal basis to assert their position. Just like most businesses...they do not care too much about who is purchasing their product...so long as they pay for it. Hail to Pitt!
You can rationalize any way you want...and not a lecture, simply my opinion. You simply are not a Pitt athletic supporter if you are purchasing your ticket from someone other than Pitt*. Lots of people love free stuff and to hitch a free ride....great, but it does not make you a supporter. Your tuition checks pay for educational services your child is receiving, not athletics. If $25 for a football ticket from Pitt is a hardship, I'd spend more time focusing on my career and less time chatting here. Hail to Pitt!
I get what you are trying to say PITTLAW, but I think it is far fetched to say someone must be poor because they can save hundreds and hundreds of dollars by buying Pitt tickets on the secondary market. Pitt has to do a better job of making being a season ticket holder valuable. If you can (easily) spend 1/4 of what it costs (not even including donations for some seats) to buy season tickets, but still go to every game, that is a Pitt problem and they need to fix it. Programs need big donors who can afford to spend $5K on tickets they could otherwise get for $800, but more than that they need a lot of donors/fans who would be crazy to spend $2000 when they could spend $500. Hell, they would be much better off buying the tickets from the secondary market and cutting a donation check for the difference.
Finally, someone else with some common sense! It is totally Pitt's issue that tickets can be had for peanuts, and it is all to the consumer/fans' advantage right now. Put a better product on the field and I wont be able to get the 10 dollar tickets anymore.
Exactly how is this classless? They give away the free tickets away so that more people come to games. Those seats are still going to be filled and SMF makes money. Win-win.
Well, we shall see. I suspect there will be many more empty yellow seats, as there always are, than butts in them. I know too many Pitt fans who always go to games and who just aren't going to this one. The main reason is that Pitt sucks this year and the interest in Pitt football and basketball has diminished dramatically. No one cares. Why sit outside watching them lose again when you could be doing something productive? Wasting 5 hours on a Thanksgiving weekend like that at a football game is silly in many people's minds. And I do see their point.
I may show up, I may not. I'm just not caring all that much about Pitt lately. This AD and administration have done virtually nothing to promote and market this team. It's their job to generate the interest in the fanbase and it's their fault this is happening, not the fans.

I gave you 2 follow up posts to see if i could make sense of this rediculous take that Pitt controls pricing on Stubhub
Do you really not understand what a secondary market is?? PITT does not post on stubhub
Also, I have never seen anything but real numbers left on Stubhub. Most of the time they are in the 1000s
