Ford giving away free Sparty/FAU tickets to employees
Latest detnews article linked, talking up improvement(?) of sales. My sister is a Sparty grad and sent me the e-mail from Ford: 4 tickets complimentary, for any employee
I wonder if the jump from 12K to 25K over the last several days is Ford "buying" tickets to give to employees? Epic fail for Sparty, and any poor slob who shelled out $75 for this game. Free offer isn't open to the general public, only Ford emp's, but still.
In retrospect, who in FLA is an FAU fan? Of those, how many would travel to Michigan? Spartan fans living 5 minutes away won't pay to see this game.

Angelos defended the price structure used by Florida Atlantic.
He said these prices were determined after meeting with Ford Field and Michigan State officials. It's the same pricing that was going to be used had a MSU-Western Michigan game been moved to Ford Field last year, Angelos said.
"We took the manifest they had worked with together, Michigan State and Western Michigan and Ford Field, and adopted that," said Angelos. "We said, 'If you think that's good, it's good for us. You know your market better than us.'
"They weren't telling us, 'Oh, no, that's way too expensive. You shouldn't do that, you're not going to sell any tickets.'"
