Michigan Embarrassing Ticket Giveaway

But I really do have that many kids.
September 22nd, 2014 at 7:01 PM ^
I can finally afford to take them all to the game!
Will be impossible to get them to bed tonight though with all those Coke products coursing through their little veins.

...and we can discuss over email. Honestly, I much prefer to give away my tickets to crap games (big games, different stories). I sold my tickets to the ASU game to some friends for face about a month before the game. I felt dirty doing so.
Anyways, let's discuss over email. Since I have season tickets, its easy to transfer tickets to people.

anyone's spare time.
Some student has to be reading this thread, go to the Union, find out of it is true or not, and post the pics here.
Bonus if you get a coed to hold the sign for you.

I'm disappointed this post is still here.

Guys the post is true. We need to take it down because Dave Brandon said there was miscommunication. Problem solved.
September 22nd, 2014 at 7:41 PM ^
This is real. Just had a friend who has never heard of MGoBlog just call me and say he got 2 tickets for the price of 2 Coke's at Ugo's and asked if I wanted to go.
I said no, becuase I have tickets to go see CHVRCHES instead.

Michigan football's a month away from adopting the Columbia House business model.

If this is real then fire everyone in Schembechler Hall immediately. Like, tonight. https://t.co/10SnSH6NWj

And if you buy *four* Coca-Cola products, Michigan lets you start at QB.

IF this is real and no one realized what it would bring about...... they all deserve to be fired.
September 22nd, 2014 at 7:49 PM ^
The corresponding Florida desperation ticket specials better involve the purchase of knockoff Publix cola products.

If this is real then Don Canham probably just sat up in his grave and flipped the bird at Dave Brandon.

Coke is a terrific, well-known product. Now if it were RC or some other off-brand, that would be embarrassing.

Should have just given them away to some charity. How would no one in the athletic department realize this is/was a terrible idea.
September 22nd, 2014 at 8:51 PM ^
Because our athletic department is run by a dipshit who likely thinks that a good deed done for a corporate sponsor, however trivial and however terrible it looks, is worth more than a good deed done for a charity.
September 22nd, 2014 at 10:41 PM ^
Because then they can't fake the 100,000 tickets sold "attendance" thing.
September 22nd, 2014 at 7:52 PM ^
September 22nd, 2014 at 8:05 PM ^
I bought the cokes. Figured why not.

Pretty bad mix.

Can those tickets serve as coasters for my two drinks?
September 22nd, 2014 at 8:00 PM ^
Edit: oops, same as above. Ticket giveaway confirmed by this anonymous Internet poster.

Holy mother of Baby Jesus! You cannot be serious!!!! What is wrong with D Brandon? What's next, are they going to try to fly the football in on a remote control helicoptor or something else riduloucly cheap and gimmicky?
September 22nd, 2014 at 7:53 PM ^
This seems legit. Sorry for doubting you OP. Giving tickets to students is a nice gesture, IMO. Coupling it with a lame corporate tie-in squanders that good will, and probably then some.
September 22nd, 2014 at 7:59 PM ^
I don't even know what to make of this program anymore. Giving away tickets for the price of a 20-ouncer. Shameless, tacky, and lame.
September 22nd, 2014 at 8:01 PM ^
and it's not at all positive.
I know that you agree, Bando. This is horrible.

Hold out for a BOGO offer
September 22nd, 2014 at 8:05 PM ^
This is without a doubt rock bottom of my sports fandom.
And I'm a Mets fan.

September 22nd, 2014 at 8:16 PM ^
Wouldn't the best response to this be to just skip going to the game? Tell me an empty student section wouldn't get Brandon fired.

I want to hear from TaiStreetsmyHero and the rest of the gang who were giving me, Lexus Larry and everybody else shit last year for not renewing our season tickets. I would love to hear why we should've paid through the nose for the priviledge of sitting in the same freaking seat near people who got in for the price of a freaking can of soda. I want to hear more about what "fair weather fans" we are for not paying list price plus the manditory seat donation fees for tickets now rendered worthless by the Athletic Department.
This reminds me of XM radio. I like XM and for years I renewed the subscription on my vehicles without thinking anything of it. 179.99/year or something like that. Then, when I got my boat i suspended service in the winter cause I wasnt using it obviously and the offers flooded my inbox. When they got to 29.99 for a year if I would only come back I realized what a sucker I had been all these years and immediately cancelled ALL my subscriptions. Sure enough - within 48 hours the same offers I got on the boat came for the cars and I effectively dropped my annual rate fro 179 to 29. And the geniuses running XM marketing showed me how to do it.
That's what I dont get. Doesnt Brandon realize that he's chasing something that is going to bite him squarely in the ass HARD next year? Why on earth would anybody renew their tickets after this - just hang around and somebody will give you pair just to get your ass in the seat.

Right there with you MGrowOld. Preach. There are just some people who believe M can do no wrong and if you are not with them whole heartedly you are against them.
It is similar to people who want to start the wave and those who are opposed to it. The two sides cannot coexist.
September 22nd, 2014 at 8:19 PM ^
I think I might run for regent.
